To fight against the swollen stomach, it is necessary to favour foods that will colonize the intestinal flora with the right bacteria. If you are disturbed by this problem and can’t identify the solution, this is a good place to start. We offer 15 days of specific menus, which will make you happy because the results will be incredible.

First, let’s take a deeper look at the mechanism of digestive system.

Why Track Lactose?

Why Track Lactose?

Lactose is a carbohydrate found in cow, goat and sheep milk. It can induce digestive disorders, when the intestine no longer produces enough lactase to digest it. As a preventive measure, these milks should be avoided and white cheeses and fresh cream should be limited. We can safely rely on milks with a very low lactose content (such as Lactel’s Matin Léger), yoghurts (whose ferments digest lactose) and ripened cheeses.

What Foods Should Be Discarded?

What foods should be discarded?

For three months, avoid any food likely to attack the intestinal mucosa. Then, we can test its tolerance by gradually reintroducing them.
– Fruits, vegetables and starches containing fibres or other irritating compounds: bananas, kiwi, melons, oranges, plums, grapefruits, prunes, cabbages, artichokes, asparagus, garlic, shallots, onions, leeks, salsifies, Jerusalem artichokes, whole grain foods (bread, rice, etc.), dried vegetables and all raw vegetables.
– Cereals that contain gluten: oats, wheat, barley, rye and their derivatives (flour, cakes, bread, dough, semolina, etc.).
– Candy and sugar-free gum.
– Coffee and strong alcohols, soft drinks, sparkling water and fruit juices.
