Tasty Snack Ends Your Stomach Issues
If you suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), you already know how miserable it is.
The chronic stomach pain… indigestion… and endless trips to the bathroom can really interrupt your life.
And mainstream treatments can make these symptoms go from bad to WORSE.
But you don’t need to take risky drugs to get IBD relief.
All you need you to do is load up on this one simple food.
Inflammatory bowel disease is not one, but many diseases. Crohn’s disease or ulcerated colitis are the two most common forms of IBD.
And if you have one of these, chances are the root cause of your tummy troubles lies deep in your gut in your microbiome (that collection of bacteria in your gut).
Luckily, there is a way to fix your microbiome.
A new study from the Center of Molecular Oncology at the University of Connecticut, published in the journal Nutrients, investigated the impact of walnuts on the microbiome of folks with IBD.
The research study gave mice walnuts (the equivalent of 20 to 25 walnuts for humans) for two weeks.
At the end, the walnut group experienced less damage to their colons and significant improvements in their microbiome.
Walnuts are so effective because they release molecules that lower inflammation in the gut and help to stabilize the bacterial communities in the digestive tract.
Some people with irritable bowel disease are sensitive to nuts, so these findings have to be taken with caution.
Other studies have shown walnuts can help reduce colorectal cancer – also by helping to reduce inflammation and balancing the microbiome.
Walnuts are an easy first step that anyone can do. You can add in a good probiotic to help rebuild your microbiome as well.
