I actually started this diet because of gut issues. Following doctor recommendations made my gut problems significantly worse. Increasing fiber & "whole grains" caused severe pain & inflammation. I had intestinal colitis & I was probably headed for a chrones diagnosis if I had continued eating the way our corrupt health system recommends, but all of that was completely cured by removing all grains, veg oils, & reducing carbs. The truth is that we cannot digest fiber & so it is devoid of any nutritional benefit & bassically just an irritant. Plants in general are devoid of key nutrients & contain toxins like oxalate, lectins, saponins, tannins, etc. The "studies" that say otherwise (as your article touts) are paid for by cereal companies & other corrupt corporations that want people to believe their "plant based," addictive, cheap to produce & store & ship, high profit margin, garbage is healthier than meat & eggs & butter which are actual foods. I have been on a grain free low carb diet for 12+ years & I have been carnivore for 7 of those years.
I made this to explain the nutritional value of foods some years ago: https://nostpic.com/media/ec99edc5567e02815fb15020285e2fa8390931cedf59c83d6bb2c5f6ee1530b9/c4cc2aeb7cd998510d5346d28dbd0ac4ab9885179ba60afb07383761fa4284a4.webp
I am sorry for your condition.
And for sure it is true that our gut system does not digest fibres. Noone is arguing otherwise I think. But they are a good source of food for the bacteria populating our gut. So generally speaking they support the gut biome.
No. Sugar & grain products feed fungi & parasitic bacterias that will keep you foggy headed and sick. Anyone who has removed these things from their diet for long enough to kill said gut parasites can attest to the change in mental clarity & other health benefits.
