Fermented foods are some of the best healthy sources of probiotics, fiber, and acids.
In your colon, there are many different probiotics, or friendly bacteria, that work together to aid in your digestion. These microbes feed on fiber from the foods you eat, ferment those fibers, and turn them into acids that feed your colon cells and contribute to a healthy gut microbiome.
By incorporating fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, and pickles into your diet, you’re not only consuming healthy probiotics—you’re also getting more fiber and acids.
All three of these factors support your colon’s role in digestion and may help settle an upset stomach naturally.
