14. Sourdough bread
Sourdough bread can help you improve your gut health if you have digestive issues and enjoy bread. Sourdough bread is sometimes mistaken for a particular flavor. The term sourdough is derived from the fermentation method that is used in making this type of bread. In the fermentation process, friendly bacteria and wild yeast break down the gluten and sugars in wheat flour.
This process transforms the sugar and gluten into healthy proteins, as well as essential minerals and vitamins. The taste of the bread is what determines the sourness. The type of yeast used to make the bread varies depending on the location. The starch in the bread has been predigested and is therefore easier to digest.
