Do you feel like your body isn’t in peak shape? Is your quality of life compromised by an inflammation-related health problem such as irritable bowel syndrome, depression, acne vulgaris, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic fatigue, type-1 diabetes, or obesity? If so, then chances are your gut is in a sorry state and is largely to blame for your troubles. In order to remedy the situation, you need to heal it. Fermented vegetables can help you do just that by delivering new and potentially beneficial bacteria to your intestine.
This short eBook, which is written by Eirik Garnas, the creator of Darwinian-Medicine.com, covers pretty much everything you need to know about how to use fermented vegetables to heal a damaged gut. It’s unique in that it’s very descriptive. In addition to containing general information about fermented vegetables and the human microbiome, it includes a FAQ section that can help you refine your gut healing program and effectively tackle various obstacles and challenges you may face if you start making your own fermented vegetables at home.

February 24, 2018 at 10:31 amHI Lucy! My recommendations haven’t changed. I’ve always said that fermented vegetables are useful in the context of microbiome restoration/gut healing.
That said, as I’ve pointed out in the past, I think it’s unwise to routinely (e.g., daily) consume a lot of fermented foods! The goal is not to bombard the intestine with probiotics, but rather to diversify and restructure the microbial ecosystem of the gut.
Healthy folks don’t necessarily have to consume fermented foods at all. People with a damaged gut, however, can certainly benefit from doing so, at least until they’ve improved their gut health.
I talk about all of this in the eBook 🙂
