Possible, occasional initial effects of tiger nut consumption

“The digestive tract can adapt.
It changes significantly with changes in diet.”

“What’s interesting is that we can’t digest anything on our own.
We need microbes for proper digestion.”

“By eliminating certain foods from our diet, we drastically change the composition of our microbes.
How could they survive if we don’t feed them?
However, returning to fiber is much harder.
People who suddenly start eating healthy again
may experience bloating and abdominal pain.
That’s why dietary changes shouldn’t be made drastically—
all the microbes in the gut need time to adapt.”

“What we eat today affects our microbiome tomorrow—within 24 hours.
My rule is constant counting. Count how many types of fruits and vegetables you eat.
If you eat 20 to 30 different kinds of fruits and vegetables per week, you’re doing well.
If you want a simple rule, think about what past generations ate:
vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, or fermented foods full of various microbes.
Fermented foods are the original probiotics.”

“Whether you have meat on your plate or not, whether you’re vegan doesn’t really matter.
What matters most is getting a diverse selection of plants onto your plate,
as many as possible, to feed your microbes.”

Tiger nut is a plant-based food that is easy to digest.
Thanks to its fiber and resistant starch content, it makes you feel full quickly
without burdening the digestive system or causing bloating.
However, it is essential to drink enough water during or after consuming tiger nuts
so that the fiber and resistant starch—present in high amounts—support the body instead of blocking it.

“There’s no single healthy superfood or magic tip that solves everything instantly.
It’s more about building a relationship with your digestion.
You can tune into your body using scientific knowledge,
but you can also do it by simply paying attention to how you feel.
Since I started focusing on my gut, I’ve become much calmer.
I know how strong and resilient this organ is when I, most of the time,
give it the right care. It’s about listening to your body and noticing how you feel inside.”

There are various bacteria in our gut, and they may need different types of food.
Because of the diversity of the microbiome, dietary variety is also crucial.
Tiger nut is a superfood that should become part of our regular diet
and a key source of nourishment for our gut microbiome.
It is important, especially in the beginning, to observe the body’s reactions when consuming tiger nuts.
Our experience shows that most reactions are positive and quickly visible in terms of digestion improvement,
regular bowel movements, and stool quality. In rare cases, some may experience bloating or gas.
This is the microbiome’s reaction to a dietary change, especially if it hasn’t been properly nourished before,
or a response to a new type of fiber.

“We believe that microdosing could bring relief—
starting with very small portions and gradually working up to larger ones.
That might help.”

In such cases, we recommend adjusting the amount of tiger nut or tiger nut products consumed
and starting with smaller doses to allow the gut microbiome time to adapt to the new food.

Change is a process—it has its rhythm and sequence.
When we decide to change our lifestyle, including our diet,
we need to be patient to see visible results.
The same goes for the microbiome adapting to a new food.
The change becomes visible through external signs.
With regular consumption, the gut microbiome adapts to the nourishment
provided by tiger nuts, and all unwanted symptoms gradually disappear.
A nourished and content microbiome then begins working in favor of our digestion.

Bloating and gas will gradually subside,
while regular bowel movements and odorless, well-formed stools
will give us indirect confirmation of a happy microbiome and clean intestines.
