Treating Gut Fermentation Syndrome

Reduce Consumption Of Carbohydrates

Fermentation is a normal phase in the digestive process. It is how our food gets broken down and its nutrients absorbed. Normally, this occurs in the colon, but for patients with gut fermentation syndrome, this process is triggered earlier in the digestive tract. Diets rich in carbohydrates can be a significant trigger. Our bodies work hard to maintain a fragile balance between its various components, so the slightest tip in any direction can have drastic effects. For individuals with gut fermentation syndrome, larger quantities of yeast are extracted from starchy foods like potatoes, rice, pasta, and bread, and then stored by the body. Usually, a degree of yeast in the body is harmless, at times even beneficial to the immune and digestive systems. However, a surplus of fungi can result in the increased production of ethanol. Thus, reducing the amount of carbohydrates consumer can help reduce symptoms of gut fermentation syndrome.
