"Mushrooms are good protein food, protein is digested. But it is difficult for people who have diseases of the gastrointestinal tract: peptic ulcer, gastritis," the dietary studied.
The expert also noted that, despite the presence of dietary fiber in mushrooms, they do not have such a wellness effect as ordinary fiber contained in vegetables and cereals.
"When people look at the chemical composition of products and see that dietary fiber in mushrooms is so much, they must be understood that they are, they are absorbed, but the positive impact that the fiber has on the body has no mushrooms," she added.
The doctor calls with caution to use mushrooms to those who have digestive problems or are on a special diet. In such cases, she said, it is better to choose products that are easier to digest and really have a positive effect on the gut microbiota.
