What do experts say?
Holistic dietician and integrated theraputic neutrition doctor Geetika Chopra pointed out that Kuttu flour is gluten free. Because it contains high fiber and resistant starch. These compounds are firmly firm with gut bacteria in large intestine, causing gas and blotting problems. During the fast, people deep fry it and make things like pakoras, which makes the digestion even more slow. Easy way to prevent this is to use kuttu flour by roasting.
Instead of fry things, you should make chila or dosa and eat it. Apart from this, involve things like cumin, celery, asafoetida and fennel in the food while making it. These ingredients improve your digestion. You can drink lukewarm water or fennel tea after eating. This can also help prevent the problem of gas and blotting.
