4 FOODS YOUR GUT WILL LOVE

To keep your GI tract in good working order – or get it back to normal – you need to feed it properly

GINGER

If you’re queasy, ginger can halt the stimulation of GItract receptors that make you feel unwell. Pregnant women have used ginger to relieve

morning sickness.

OATS

This grain has soluble

and insoluble fibre, which can absorb water and bulk up your stool,

to help keep things moving through your GI tract. The fibre also eases gas pressure.

POTATOES

Both white and sweet spuds can calm an upset belly, because they’re binding – meaning they absorb excess water in your intestines and help you keep your, well,

poo together.

YOGHURT Recovering from a stomach bug? Add Greek yoghurt as you build up to eating as usual. Its cultures help boost gut bacteria that will get your GI tract

back to normal.
