Fast Tract Digestion Heartburn: Clinically Proven Diet Solution to Treat and Prevent Acid Reflux and GERD without Drugs
After evaluating countless types of carbohydrate and fibrous foods, Dr. Robillard derived a factor he has termed the Fermentation Potential (FP), which is a measure of the amount of carb and/or fiber in a given food providing fare for gas-producing bacteria. Knowing the FP of various foods allows one to avoid those with a higher FP, which should reduce SIBO and symptoms of GERD and/or IBS. But it is not as straightforward is it might seem. For instance, certain kinds of white rice (Jasmine rice) are quickly absorbed and do not result in much fermentation, whereas other types of white rice (Uncle Ben's) do ferment and worsen GERD. Same with potatoes different types create more or less fermentation. By knowing the FP, you can continue to eat (certain types of) rice, potatoes and many other high-carb foods yet reduce or eliminate the symptoms of GERD. --Michael R.
