Ryazhenka is a delicate and tasty drink made from baked milk. Its benefits are enormous, because it helps to improve digestion and saturates the body with calcium and fluoride. Nevertheless, fermented baked milk is not always well absorbed, and its use can sometimes cause bloating.
What can cause swelling of the stomach after fermented baked milk
Discomfort in the intestines after eating fermented baked milk can occur if this dairy product has been spoiled. Fermented baked milk contains acidophilic bacilli and streptococci, which contribute to its fermentation. Due to prolonged or improper storage of the product, the number of such beneficial bacteria in it increases significantly, which becomes not very useful for the intestines.
Fermented baked milk can puff up the stomach even if you use it with unsuitable foods, for example, with black bread, cabbage, apples, plums or other fresh fruits. All of them cause fermentation in the intestines, which can lead to bloating and pain in the abdomen.
The reason for such a reaction of the body to fermented baked milk may be an individual intolerance to this product or the lactose it contains, to which many people are allergic. Lactose is usually less absorbed in adults. In this case, the case may even end in acute diarrhea.
And, finally, the reason often lies in the disruption of the gastrointestinal tract. So, the stomach after fermented baked milk can swell with exacerbation of gastritis, including Helicobacter pylori, stomach ulcer, cholecystitis and other gastrointestinal diseases. In this case, you should seek help from a gastroenterologist and follow a diet.
How to drink fermented baked milk
To avoid unpleasant consequences with digestion, it is better to use fermented baked milk only fresh. Such a product will have a light creamy color, a slight sour-milk aroma and a thick consistency. When buying fermented baked milk, it is worth paying attention to the presence of preservatives in it - these substances can also negatively affect digestion.
Fermented baked milk should not be washed down with any dishes or products, especially those that cause fermentation or contribute to the formation of gases. These include: pickles, fresh fruits and vegetables, cabbage in any form, black bread, baked goods. It is best to drink fermented baked milk one hour after a meal and at least half an hour before the next meal. Thanks to this, it is better absorbed by the body. But at the same time, you should not consume such a drink on an empty stomach.
Fermented baked milk is also not recommended to drink at night. It is best to drink a glass of this drink 2-3 hours before bedtime - then it will calmly have time to digest in the intestines and will not cause inconvenience during sleep, and also will not spoil the beauty of your figure.
