Some tips for healthy digestion...

Quote:

Foods that are naturally fermented help inoculate the gut with healthy microbial species. Homemade sauerkraut, kombucha, coconut water kefir, and kimchi are great. Fermented dairy products from grass-fed cows/goats are highly advisable. These include amasai, fermented whey drinks & raw cheese. Often times a probiotic supplement with bio-diverse range of cultures and over 50 billion colony forming units is advisable.

Non-denatured whey protein from grass-fed cows is also very good for rebuilding the gut. Whey is loaded with L-glutamine and enhances cellular glutathione stores which are both needed to repair the intestinal wall and de-inflame the body. Powerful herbs such as turmeric, g garlic, onion, rosemary, & oregano among others should be used as much as possible to improve immune coordination.

Carminatives are herbs that stimulate the digestive system to work better. These herbs contain a high content of volatile oils that are effective at expelling gas and easing griping pains from the stomach and intestines. They also tone the mucous surfaces & increase peristaltic action within the esophagus, stomach. This peristaltic action propels food and wastes through the system.

Hm, naturally fermented pickles too? I was thinking about putting up some of these this season. Kirby cucumbers are readily available by me. I have an old Mennonite cookbook that has some good-looking recipes for many varieties of pickles.

I imagine pickles would be beneficial also.

Thanks, Kind!

Last year I put up some dill pickles, but they were the sort you add vinegar to, not the naturally fermented kind. It's the season here for pickling cukes, so I guess I know what I'm going to be starting on next week.
