Carbs are the main source of energy for our bodies and it’s really important that we consume enough of them so we won’t feel like going to sleep at 2 p.m. But it’s important that you mix them with sources of fiber, vitamins and antioxidants, like fruits and vegetables.
Sometimes consuming high levels of carbs can lead to gut problems, like fullness, general discomfort, pain and gas. The reason is, some people find it hard to digest certain carbs, especially when they are mixed with other carbs or bad fats. This leads to fermentation, which can trigger acid reflux or worsen the symptoms.
The most important thing is to listen to your body and to observe if certain carbs trigger your symptoms and if you feel better when you avoid them.
