How can we calm intestinal inflammation from the root? In order to cope with this disease, the research team of Monash University in Australia developed a diet therapy called Low-FODMAP. According to Lianhe Zaobao, 76% of patients with irritable bowel syndrome were relieved according to the "low prevalence food list". The European Journal of Nutrition and the American Journal of Gastroenterology also expressed their support for this diet therapy, which was also recognized by the Rome Foundation, Harvard University and other authoritative institutions. So what exactly is a low FODMAP diet therapy? Why can it cause widespread concern in society?
As a gastroenterologist, Dr. Masayoshi Eda of Japan often hears patients complain about their intestinal problems, and his unique sense of mission arises spontaneously. He thinks he must tell us the truth. So he sorted out how to make the intestines healthy and wrote the book "Intestinal Sugar Break". He found that as long as he gave up part of the food he usually ate, he could achieve the effect of making the intestines comfortable. Low incidence diet therapy is labor-saving, economical, simple and safe, and has no side effects.
Before introducing this diet therapy, let's learn what FODMAP is. This is the first time the author has seen this strange word. Let's increase our knowledge together. In fact, Farman is a transliteration of the English word FODMAP, which refers to the four sugars in food and the "four enemies" that threaten intestinal health. They are fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and (and) polyols, and the first letter is FOMALE. FODMAP can't digest it. Eating foods containing these sugars will cause excessive intestinal peristalsis, increase the gas in the intestine and cause intestinal discomfort.
Low-sugar diet therapy, as the name implies, is four low-sugar diets. Low prevalence diet therapy is an ideal means to control sugar. If we avoid eating foods with high prevalence, intestinal problems can be improved.
Then, the problem comes again. How can we judge which foods are high-risk foods and which are low-risk foods? The third chapter of this book divides food into eight categories: cereals, meat, seafood, eggs, oils, nuts, dairy products, vegetables, edible fungi, potatoes, fruits, beverages, seasonings and others, which seems to cover some of the most common foods in our lives. Then, on the basis of such detailed classification, it helps us to separate high-incidence foods from low-incidence foods, and attaches a very large daily food quick lookup table with the book, which I can hang in a conspicuous place at home to remind myself to break the sugar in my intestines at all times.
In addition to these dry goods, this book also teaches me how to tailor a diet plan for intestinal problems, as well as some eating habits to keep my intestines young, such as the "eight hours" diet rule.
I have gained a lot by opening this book. Through self-examination, I learned to exclude fermented sugar that causes intestinal problems such as abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation from my diet and rebuild a healthy and stable intestinal environment. No matter how busy and hard life is, we should try to change our diet and keep our intestines healthy. Spend a few minutes every day listening to the "sounds" of the intestines, find your own diet, and strive for a better tomorrow for your body.
