Digestive or “gut” health is a hot topic today and understandably so. The National Institutes of Health estimates that approximately 60-70 million people are affected by digestive diseases. Additionally, the science surrounding the microbiome and how our digestion can potentially affect other aspects of our health and wellbeing continues to grow steadily. While proper diagnosis is important to determine the best care plan for those suffering from a specific digestive disease, we do know there is a lot that can be done to support a healthy digestive system through our personal meal habits. Being more aware of how we eat, maintaining enough fiber and adding fermented foods, including those from the dairy aisle, are all ways to give back to our gut.
During this episode you will hear from Dr. Bob Murray, MD, Pediatric Gastroenterologist and Amanda Sauceda, RDN, lecturer at California State University of Long Beach and Owner of the Mindful Gut, LLC, on pre and probiotics, lactose intolerance versus milk allergy and strategies for improving overall digestive health through dairy foods, fiber and mindfulness.
