Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?
Is Hiatal Hernia Causing your Stubborn Symptoms?
A healthy mucus layer is needed for maintaining the integrity of the gut lining and preventing inhospitable bacteria from crossing the intestinal lining. Similarly, the ability to break down fiber is absolutely critical to maintain an anti-inflammatory profile in the gut.
What can you do?
You need to dramatically increase your fiber intake. Most Americans, a shocking 19 out of 20, don’t achieve even the minimal grams of fiber per day. Fiber factually lowers blood sugar. Good bacteria can transform the healthy fiber you eat into the wonderful SCFAs we have been discussing.
