Not only is our probiotic coconut milk kefir certified organic, woman-owned through WEConnect International, and endorsed by the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation, it is now low FODMAP certified, as well! In 2005, researchers in the Department of Gastroenterology at Monash University identified a group of short-chain carbohydrates found in food that are either poorly absorbed in the small intestine or impossible to digest. The Monash team named these carbohydrates FODMAPs, an acronym which stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols. Thanks to Monash University’s extensive work in this area, IBS patients can take their gut health back into their own hands by managing their symptoms through diet and improve their overall quality of life. #food4guthealth #theculturedcoconut #ancestralhealth  #innovation #plantbased  #guthealth #probiotics  #fermentedfoods  #kefir #pethealth #womenownedbusiness
