Summer and early autumn are traditionally associated with fresh vegetables, fruits and various berries. It seems completely natural to change the heavy winter diet to light salads. However, modern science considers this change in diet not just as a way to get vitamins, but as the most important tool for nourishing our "superorgan" - the intestinal microbiome.

Summer is traditionally associated with relaxation, plenty of fresh fruit and outdoor activities. However, at the same time, it is a period of the highest stress on our body due to the impact of high temperatures and changes in drinking habits. We often encounter unexpected disorders: sudden bloating (flatulence), a feeling of heaviness, diarrhea or, conversely, persistent constipation.

Holiday feasts are a time of joy, socializing, and, inevitably, gastronomic excesses. Traditional holiday dishes are usually oversaturated with animal fats, simple carbohydrates, sugar, and alcohol, but at the same time critically low in fiber. For our body, such a sharp shift in diet is not just a burden on the liver or pancreas, but a real shock to our main "superorgan" - the intestinal microbiome

The arrival of summer is traditionally associated with a change in diet: heavy winter food is replaced by fresh vegetables, herbs, and the first berries. For our body, this is not just a change in menu, but a critically important stage in the renewal of the gastrointestinal tract (GI) and its main "superorgan" - the intestinal microbiome.

Bacterial overgrowth syndrome (SIBS or SIBO) has long remained in the “blind spot” of classical gastroenterology. For decades, patients have complained of severe flatulence (“feeling 5 months pregnant”), impaired nutrient absorption, and chronic fatigue. Traditional treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics often provides only a temporary effect, leading to relapses.

Bloating, heaviness after eating, irregular bowel movements, or constant abdominal discomfort — these problems are faced by almost every second person. The classic reaction of a modern person is to drink digestive enzymes or a pill for cramps and keep running.

The team at Ediens has been studying the connection between the gut microbiome and human health for several years. One of the most common complaints we hear from our clients is bloating after eating.
