Gluten Sensitivity or FODMAP Overload? The Sourdough Solution

In Part 2 of this eye-opening series, Dr. Fergal Armstrong dives deeper into the gut-healing powers of authentic sourdough bread—and why it's a game-changer for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, or so-called gluten sensitivity.

If you’ve ever been told to avoid bread, this episode will make you rethink everything.

Dr. Armstrong breaks down the latest research, including a landmark study from Monash University and Finnish clinical trials, showing how genuine sourdough fermentation—using wild lactobacillus strains like Lactobacillus plantarum—can reduce FODMAPs by up to 90%.

These hard-to-digest carbohydrates are the real culprits behind the gas, bloating, and abdominal pain that plague IBS sufferers—not gluten, as many believe.

Learn how fermentation time, bacterial enzymes, and acidity work together to transform problematic bread into a digestible staple.

Discover why supermarket “sourdough” is often just overpriced regular bread with no real benefit—and how to spot the real deal.

Whether you're battling gut issues or just want to eat smarter, this episode delivers the clinical truth behind one of the most misunderstood foods.

Tune in and find out how real sourdough might just be the bread you’ve been waiting for.
