Gastroenterologist Recommends Low-FODMAP High-Fibre Foods for Reduced Bloating

HT - Lifestyle · lifestyle

Gastroenterologist Dr Joseph Salhab suggests low-FODMAP, high-fibre foods for individuals experiencing gas and bloating from traditional fibre sources. These options, including popcorn, chia seeds, oats, raspberries, and blueberries, are less likely to ferment in the gut, offering a gentler way to increase fibre intake. While these foods are generally easier to digest, Dr Salhab emphasizes that portion control remains crucial, as individual tolerance varies. Experimenting with these foods can help people with sensitive stomachs or IBS incorporate more fibre without discomfort.
