slower protien digestion backs up carbohydrates & cause them to ferment

[charles brough]

At least, that is the theory I read about. Any light to shed on this subject?

[sammy7]

sure im a complete layman with no scientific training in anything but i think certain "opportunistic" bacteria or something feed on certain carbohydrates (or maybe the products of poorly broken down/digested carbohydrates or something?) so yeah just google "small intestine bacterial overgrowth" or something im unaware if anything can/does feed off of amino acids (dont think they do) in the intestines so yeh...youll find a bunch of things to kill them/reestablish good bacteria/improve digestion etc...easy...
