Dr. Eric Berg points out that lower abdominal cramps are often not a single symptom, but rather a reflection of an imbalance in intestinal absorption. Instead of relying on painkillers, antispasmodics, and antacids, it is better to fundamentally improve the intestinal environment and rebuild the digestive system .

Common bowel problems and causes of colic
· Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth ( SIBO )
· Irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS )
· Diverticulitis, Fat malabsorption
· Lack of bile, stomach acid, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria

Dietary recommendations for gut repair
✅ Recommended foods
· Bone broth stew : Simmered with bones, chicken, and fish → Provides collagen and repairs intestinal walls
· High-fat meats : chicken skin, lamb, beef ribs, etc. → help absorb fat-soluble vitamins.
· Cooked vegetables such as cabbage and carrots : easy to digest and anti-inflammatory.
· Ghee : High in nutrient - rich fats, aids in intestinal repair.
· Lactose-free Kefir (preferably goat milk) : Rebuilds gut microbiota
· Small amounts of fermented vegetables : sauerkraut, kimchi → provide beneficial bacteria and reduce antinutrients
· Raw cheese/goat cheese : Contains beneficial bacteria, lower in lactose.
❌ Avoid foods
· Lettuce salad, high in fiber
· Fruits (especially those high in fructose )
· Grains (bread, pasta, cereal )
· Legumes, nuts, seeds
· Vegetable oils (corn oil, soybean oil )
Why is cabbage so effective ?
· Contains glucosinolates → inhibits Helicobacter pylori, anti-inflammatory
· Easy to cook and easy to digest → suitable for people with sensitive intestines
· Most people with intestinal problems can tolerate cabbage, but may not be able to tolerate other vegetables.
Conclusion: Stop relying on painkillers; learn to eat the right foods to truly relieve intestinal pain.
Gut problems don't develop overnight, but by avoiding irritating foods, replenishing restorative nutrients, and rebuilding gut flora, lower abdominal cramps can improve naturally . Starting today, a bowl of bone broth with cabbage, a spoonful of ghee, and a cup of lactose-free Kefir will help establish a healthy gut !
Don't be trapped by the myth that "medication equals a solution." True health comes from understanding gut health, allergy avoidance, and repair mechanisms.
