De ce te balonezi când începi să mănânci mai sănătos. Explicația unui medic gastroenterolog

Switching to a healthier diet rich in fiber can initially cause bloating and discomfort as the gut microbiome adjusts. Dr. Matei Cozma explains that the gut microbiota, which reflects lifestyle habits, needs time to adapt to increased fiber intake. A sudden dietary change can lead to gas production due to fermentation of complex carbohydrates. Gradual dietary adjustments are recommended to minimize discomfort. Persistent symptoms may indicate an imbalance in the microbiome, which can affect digestion and food tolerance. If symptoms continue despite dietary changes, further investigation may be necessary to identify underlying issues.
