Why do so many people feel better eating in Europe? šŖšŗāļø
Itās not just āthe gluten.ā
āļø Different food regulations
āļø Fewer ultra-processed foods
āļø Different wheat varieties (often lower gluten content)
āļø And slower fermentation (like sourdough), which can break down FODMAPs and gut-triggering compounds
That combination = easier digestion for many people
Important:
This does NOT apply to celiac diseaseāgluten is still gluten.
But if you feel better abroad⦠your gut might be reacting to how food is made, not just what youāre eating.
