Does beer count as a fermented food diet?

[BipolarBob]

Fermented you say? I can do fermented.

[BipolarBob]

Don’t ask self answering questions. It’s one of the major food groups.

[Red Badger]

Pickled, canned, preserved, all the same....................

[Red Badger]

Too many carbs!......................

[BipolarBob]

You’ve described me, so what about the food?

fiber is more for cleansing and clearing out intestinal mucus buildup, getting rid of that layer and the parasites living in it

fiber itself doesnt have replenishing nutrients and enzymes and vitamins, fiber is a cleaner and binder and toxin absorber

fermented foods help feed good gut bacteria and reduce bad bacteria, to get the gut back to a healthy balance

they both have important roles, just different ones

they are not for the same purposes

Good to go with the Old Grand Dad 114.

There was a small pickle named Dill
He was dropped into vinegar to Chill
His job means he’s Workin
To be the crunchiest Gerkin
So he waits for a sandwich to Fill.

[Mr. Mojo]

All true.

I bet the fermentation chemicals are still having an affect on the gut.

Which means the same process that causes decay on fresh fruits and vegetables is being used by the ones causing the inflammatory response.

They compared a diet rich in fermented foods to a high-fiber diet? How silly!

How about comparing to a diet high in chips, pretzels, beer, and brats? Maybe toss in a few Slim Jims for more diet diversity.

Fermented food is very high in histamine and can cause problems in people with allergies.

I can’t even think about touching fermented anything.

How many servings of fermented food?

One a day? Six?

I used to get diverticulitis about 5 times per year. The medical industry solution is to prescribe one aerobic and one anerobic antibiotic.

I researched and experimented and found that a diet that regularly includes yogurt with live and active cultures could drop that frequency to almost never.

Lately I’ve been enjoying Kefir as well.
