What is Bloating and What Causes It?
Bloating is a feeling of fullness and discomfort in the abdomen. It can be caused by several factors, including eating too fast, overeating, and consuming certain types of food. Foods that are high in fiber, sugar, or fat are common culprits of bloating. Carbonated beverages and artificial sweeteners can also cause bloating.
Gut Health and Fermented Foods
Gut health refers to the balance and function of the microorganisms in your gut. The gut microbiome is composed of trillions of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that play a crucial role in digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and supporting the immune system. An imbalance in the gut microbiome can lead to digestive issues, including bloating, constipation, and diarrhea.
Fermented foods like kombucha contain probiotics, which are live microorganisms that promote gut health. Probiotics help restore the balance of the gut microbiome by introducing beneficial bacteria into the digestive system. Regular consumption of fermented foods has been linked to several health benefits, including improved digestion, reduced inflammation, and enhanced immune function.
Kombucha and Gut Health
People have been consuming kombucha, a fermented tea with health benefits, for centuries. To make it, you add a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) to sweetened tea and let it ferment for several days or weeks. During the fermentation process, the SCOBY consumes the sugar in the tea and produces a variety of beneficial compounds, including organic acids, enzymes, and probiotics.
Is Kombucha Safe for People with Celiac Disease?
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the consumption of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, triggers an immune response that damages the lining of the small intestine. People with celiac disease must avoid gluten-containing foods to prevent damage to their intestines.
Fortunately, kombucha is gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease to consume.
Is Kombucha Vegan?
Yes, kombucha is vegan. Twisted Kombucha’s raw, all-natural kombucha is made with only plant-based ingredients and contains no animal products or byproducts. It is a great choice for vegans who are looking for a healthy and flavorful beverage.
