Foods That Promote Digestive Health: A Gastroenterologist Perspective

Dr. Meet Parikh|

What you eat has a direct impact on your digestive health. As a gastroenterologist, I frequently discuss dietary choices with my patients. Here are some key recommendations.

High-Fiber Foods

Fiber is essential for digestive health. Good sources include whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. Aim for 25-35 grams of fiber daily, but increase gradually to avoid bloating.

Probiotic-Rich Foods

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that support gut health. Foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and kombucha contain natural probiotics that can help maintain a healthy digestive system.
