The Fermented Brown Rice 'Mylk' That Rewires Your Gut for Effortless Digestion
A clinical trial reveals how a plant-based milk with fermented brown rice can relieve constipation, bloating, and pain by upgrading your gut microbiome.
By Foodie Pundit Newsroom - Published - Updated - Section: Health Nutrition
Key points
- Fermented brown rice can significantly reduce constipation-related symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, and straining.
- This food-as-medicine intervention works by selectively feeding beneficial gut bacteria, particularly species in the Blautia genus.
- Blautia bacteria are crucial for gut health because they produce butyrate, a compound that fuels colon cells and reduces inflammation.
- The benefits come from a "synbiotic" effect: prebiotic fiber from the rice feeds probiotics, which in turn create healing postbiotics.
- You can incorporate these benefits at home by making your own fermented brown rice and adding it to smoothies or other dishes.
