People suffering from gastrointestinal problems (gastritis, GERD, Barrett’s esophagus, hiatus hernia) are advised to include carob in their diet. Due to the high fiber content in its composition, it has a favorable effect on the red flora and has a mild probiotic effect. Also, the tannin contained in carob binds bacteria and their toxins, thus removing them from the digestive tract. However, carob is not a medicine in the fight against gastroenterological diseases, so we advise you to use it as a dietary supplement in consultation with your chosen doctor.
