Dr. Foster’s Fodmap Fix
Alleviating Pain and Maximizing Health
Dr. Sterling Foster has created an evidence based guided reintroduction of fermentable carbohydrates approach to inflammatory pain, combined with digestive herbal support to assure better assimilation of the food consumed.
“Even the healthiest, ‘organicist,’ whole food plant based foods inflame our body if our digestion is compromised. Stress is completely inhibitory to digestion. Chronic stress harbors digestion and leads to worsening symptoms.”
Digestive Health
The core of digestive health is based on the simple fact that everyone only digests up to three things at any time: lipids, protein and carbohydrates. Areas of focus include the stomach and protein digestion; bile and fat digestion; the intestines and carbohydrate digestion.
If a person is deficit in any one of these three areas she or he may experience symptoms. For example, bloat is created from inadequate carbohydrate digestion that results in feeding excess bacteria in the small intestines. Nauseousness, a symptom many people experience who attempt a ketogenic diet, may be a result of poor bile flow.
Identifying the digestive weakness is what’s most important in creating a diet plan with the proper herbal support.
