Is your gut still feeling off, even though you are eating well? When your digestive system is not functioning as it should, foods that are generally considered healthy can lead to gut discomfort, especially if your gut microbiome is out of balance. We take a closer look at a few common culprits that could be behind the upset.
1. Citrus Fruits: While loaded with antioxidants and vitamin C, their acidic content can irritate the digestive tract, sometimes triggering reflux or heartburn, especially when eaten on an empty stomach.
2. High-Fibre Foods: While fibre is important for digestive health, a sudden increase can overwhelm the gut, causing bloating, gas, or constipation, especially if you tend to experience stomach sensitivity.
3. Cruciferous Vegetables: Rich in fibre and nutrients, these veggies contain complex carbohydrates that can be hard to digest, especially if your digestive system is not functioning well, often leading to gas and bloating.
4. Dairy Products: Dairy is a great source of calcium and protein; however, many adults lack lactase, the enzyme needed to break down lactose, often leading to bloating, gas, and even diarrhoea.
5. Beans and Lentils: Great plant-based protein sources, they contain oligosaccharides, complex sugars that ferment in the gut. When your gut is out of balance, they can be harder to break down, leading to gas and bloating.
Bringing a healthy balance to your gut microbiome can be the first step to helping your digestive tract run smoothly again. The Complete Gut Nutrition System is an easy way to give your gut a healthy reset to bring back balance and strengthen your gut from the inside out.
