GUT PROBLEMS

As we mentioned earlier, the supermarkets are well-stocked with products that claim to be good for your gut. While more research is needed, there is limited proof that products like probiotics, fermented food and green smoothies support your gut directly.

Actual gut-friendly food are common-sense foods that are rich and diverse in fibre.

We know fibre may not be what you feel like when you have stomach problems but when it comes to gut health, you’ll want plan long-term. The better you eat over time, the better you’ll be supporting your gut.

Great sources of fibre include:

• breads and cereals containing rye, wheat and oats
• legumes like lentils, beans and peas
• fruit like bananas, berries and oranges
• vegetables like snow peas, broccoli and sweet potatoes
