🌿 Plant-Based Focus
Plant-Based Description: Structured meals, low-fermentable plants during flares; ginger and bitters pre-meals.
Plant Chemistry Detail: Gingerols, bitter phytochemicals, antimicrobial allicin (culinary).
Nutritional Focus: Support motility and reduce fermentable load temporarily.
Research Notes: Culinary botanicals can complement clinical care.
Key Foods: Ginger tea, arugula, radicchio, cooked zucchini, herbs (oregano, thyme)
Linked Nutrients: Polyphenols, sulfur compounds
Beneficial Whole Foods: Build meals from legumes, greens, crucifers, berries, seeds/nuts, and whole grains; avoid oils, meat, dairy, and ultra‑processed foods.
Notes: Priority stack: (1) legumes daily, (2) walk after meals, (3) crucifers + alliums daily, (4) berries/tea polyphenols, (5) remove oils/sugars and ultra-processed foods completely.
