INSIGHT

Gluten Benefits May Be FODMAP Effects

  • Gluten benefits may come from reducing FODMAPs rather than true gluten sensitivity.
  • Low FODMAP diets can temporarily correct bacterial overgrowth and allow later food reintroduction.
ADVICE

Try Short Intermittent Fasting

  • Try an eight-hour eating window for short intermittent fasting to reduce reflux.
  • Two days of this schedule improved heartburn and regurgitation in a small trial.
ADVICE

Short-Term Low-Histamine Reset

  • Avoid high-histamine foods for a short rehabilitation period if inflammation flares reflux.
  • Common offenders include fermented foods, aged cheeses, cured meats, alcohol, vinegar, certain fruits, and leftovers over 24 hours.
