What experts have said about Sourdough bread
1 statement · 1 positive
People with gut damage may tolerate sourdough better because fermentation reduces fructans.
“people who have a slightly damaged gut, they struggle to process and digest them. So this would explain why some people, they eat wheat containing gluten containing foods, and they struggle, but they do okay with sourdough because if you ferment the bread, it reduces the fructane content, and actually, then you can tolerate it.”
