benefit of curd - #27521

Aayan

I am really confused about this whole topic of the benefit of curd. A few weeks ago, I started feeling super bloated after meals, just like a balloon ready to pop. My friend said that I should include more curd in my diet because of the supposed benefit of curd for digestion. I decided to give it a shot and added a bowl of curd to my dinner routines. At first, I thought, "Why not?" but then I wasn't sure -- does it really help? Sometimes I feel like my stomach is improving but other times, it still feels off. Could it be that I'm not eating enough curd or is there something I'm missing? I found some articles about the benefit of curd containing probiotics and how they can balance gut health, but I'm not clear on how much I should be consuming daily to actually see a difference. Also, are there any specific types of curd that are more beneficial? Like, are the plant-based options just as good? Trying to dig into the whole benefit of curd thing but it’s kinda overwhelming. Do I need to keep this up for a while longer to notice results or what? Would love some help!

Curd, or yogurt, indeed has beneficial properties for digestion, largely due to its probiotic content. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your digestive system, helping to balance your gut microbiome which can sometimes assist in reducing bloating and improving bowel regularity. However, the extent of the benefit from curd depends significantly on the type and quantity you consume. Generally, a serving of about 150-200 grams of curd per day is a good starting point for many individuals to potentially notice digestive benefits, although this can vary based on individual tolerance and dietary needs. Look for curd that contains live and active cultures, as these are more likely to confer probiotic benefits. When it comes to plant-based options, they can also be beneficial if they are fortified with probiotics but often the concentration of beneficial bacteria is lower compared to dairy-based options. No matter the type, make sure to choose products with no or low added sugar, as excessive sugar can negate the benefits and potentially exacerbate bloating. If you’re experimenting with curd to improve digestion, try maintaining a consistent intake for at least a few weeks to observe any changes. If bloating persists, it might be worthwhile to review other dietary habits like fiber intake, hydration, and overall diet balance, as there may be underlying dietary triggers that need addressing. Additionally, consider if there can be other causes for your bloating unrelated to dietary intake, since factors like stress, hormonal fluctuations, or certain food intolerances can also contribute. If your symptoms continue, it’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider to explore other underlying causes or treatments so you can get personal advice tailored to your situation.
