Five foods a gastroenterologist never puts on his plate

Less processed meat

Sausages, ham and cured meats are certainly tasty to many, but they don't have much nutritional value. Quite the opposite, as added nitrates can be converted into harmful chemicals in the gut called nitrosamines, which are considered a risk factor for colon cancer.

More low-fat dairy products

Milk, yogurt and cheese, the most popular dairy products, are divided into whole, semi-fat and low-fat. Saturated fat takes longer to digest, which can worsen indigestion and reflux symptoms, and also contributes to inflammation in the gut, according to gastroenterologists. Therefore, high fat content can disrupt the "good" gut bacteria.

We must say "no" to many fried foods

You'll probably expect to find them on this list. The all-time favorite fried foods can also cause stomach upset as they slow stomach emptying due to high amounts of fat. This means that food takes longer to digest and can lead to nausea and abdominal discomfort.

Also, the high temperatures used to fry foods are difficult for the body to break down, which can contribute to inflammation and oxidative stress in the digestive system.

Less sugary drinks

Excessive sugar consumption is associated with weight gain, a risk factor for many diseases, but also with disorders of the intestinal microbiome, changing the composition of bacteria in the intestine.

Fizzy drinks, both sugary and sugar-free, have been particularly guilty since fizzy drinks can lead to gas build-up, which can cause bloating, cramping, and constipation.

Highly processed foods

Besides being subjected to a lot of processing, they contain dangerous ingredients for the organism in general, such as added sugars, fats, salt as well as many other chemicals, preservatives and emulsifiers, which are related to metabolic changes. The more processed a food is, the less healthy it is./ CNA
