Fatigue & IBS – avoid gluten and onions
Eat mild foods to get better from stomach problems, IBS, fatigue
Stomach health – eat postbiotic and avoid gluten
Stomach problems (IBS) and gluten allergy are increasing exponentially. If people with an imbalanced gut flora eat genetically modified wheat, the stomach and intestines can react with fatigue, bloated stomach and gas and headaches. The modern wheat we eat today is genetically manipulated to tolerate environmental toxins and to make gluten rise more, filling the bread with air. Instead of the original 14 chromosomes, today we have added things so that there are 32 chromosomes.
If the body reacts to wheat and gluten, you can try to avoid it for a few days to see if you feel better from gluten-free food.
Celiac allergy means that you cannot tolerate the protein gluten found in wheat, rye and barley. Your small intestine becomes inflamed and cannot absorb nutrients as it should. Other people are only sensitive to gluten and feel a little better if gluten is avoided.
Balloon stomach largely depends on what we eat because foods like onions and legumes, as well as some carbohydrates ferment in the intestines. The gases produced then cause the intestines to expand and if the intestinal motor skills and intestinal flora do not work, the gases can get stuck and then stomach problems can occur.

The protective mucus layer in the gut is broken down by emulsifiers so that bacteria get through and cause inflammation that can lead to depression, for example.
Emulsifiers (E433, E466) can cause inflammation in the body and are unfortunately sometimes found in food products.

Professor Stig Bengmark and Hans Israelsen’s research shows how important it is that the stomach feels good and that we have a good intestinal flora.
But our Western refined food, the wrong fats, genetically modified gluten and stress break down the gut flora and cause hidden inflammation in the body and a lack of vitamins B and K2.
Researcher Israelsens was involved in developing Postbiotic ReFerm, which is fermented oats. Studies show that ReFerm heals the intestinal walls and gut flora and works more long-term because probiotics and prebiotics only had an effect when people ate it.
The FODMAP dietary treatment is a result of research on balloon stomach, IBS and stomach ache. It’s not about living like a monk, but replacing hard-to-starve foods that cause gas with diets that are kind to the stomach and intestines.
By eating Low FODMAP for a few weeks, the stomach can get into balance and then take in one diet at a time from high FODMAPs to see if the stomach feels good from it.
FODMAP diet can be combined with fermented oats ReFerm.
You can contact a doctor or dietician about a FODMAP diet.
