Do you suffer from irritable bowel and have trouble choosing meals?

Lentils are the most consumed and easily accessible irritable bowel foods.

According to the dietitian and writer Véronique Liégeois lentils are among the best tolerated legumes, perhaps because they are less rich in cellulosic fibers and contain fewer non-assimilable carbohydrates that ferment in the colon.

Lentils are an excellent source of iron, which mainly benefits women, since they tend to suffer from anemia because their requirement for iron is greater due to the pregnancy stage and the loss of blood during menstruation. In GetQoralHealth we present the following recipe with lentils. Enjoy your meal!
