HONEY FOR YOUR BELLY

If you have problems with your digestive system you might want to try honey for relief. Most people know yogurt has probiotic properties but many don't like yogurt or have an allergy to dairy products. Honey basically provides the same benefits as does yogurt. Scientists have discovered honey contains 181 beneficial compounds and many of those act like probiotics. Probiotics are the healthy bacteria found in yogurt that helps ensure proper digestion. Honey can help keep healthy bacteria in the colon and intestines in balance and reduce the number of gas-inducing toxins. The dose? 1 tablespoon of honey a day. 

NOTE: If you are trying to reduce FODMAPs in your diet, honey is considered low FODMAP, if using 1 teaspoon at a time. Btw, 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon so you might want to spread out your honey intake.
