The nutritionist pointed out the dangers of kefir for some people

Nutritionist, PhD Andrey Bobrovsky pointed out the danger of kefir. According to him, this product contains the amino acid tryptophan, which synthesizes serotonin and melatonin. Because of this, some people may experience increased acidity in the body.

"In sensitive people, taking both kefir and other fermented milk products can cause a slight increase in acidity and heartburn, respectively. But this is not for everyone. For some people, on the contrary, kefir causes relaxation," the nutritionist said in an interview with Radio 1 on Thursday, April 3.

He noted that with gastritis, it is important to look at the fat content of kefir, especially if there is regular belching, so it can make the situation worse.

Also on April 3, nutritionist Elena Solomatina gave tips on choosing foods for people with gastrointestinal problems. According to her, cold food can cause cramps, and spicy and sour dishes can increase pain, notes 360.ru .

Earlier, nutritionist Polina Koroleva said that dairy products should be consumed at the appropriate time in order to benefit. According to her, you should not do this on an empty stomach or with increased acidity of the stomach, because the gastric juice produced will only irritate the stomach. We are talking about kefir, cottage cheese, sour cream, fermented milk, curdled milk and yogurt, NSN notes.
