A member asked:
What are the best common foods to clean up your gut? and help with improvement of digestion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The gut: The intestinal track is an inherently "dirty" place. It is the body's waste disposal unit, and so is designed to not be clean. Our gut has a large number of helpful bacteria in it, without which we would have problems with digestion. So i would not be eager to "clean up" the gut. Digestion can be aided by foods with lots of fiber, and the drinking of water.
