gastroenterology Gut Health Insight

Puffed wheat itself is very light on the stomach, but it has almost no fibre, so it won’t keep your gut busy for long. In this version, milk adds some protein and calcium, and if your tummy handles dairy well, it can make the snack a little more filling. Sugar gives quick energy but doesn’t help gut health much, so a nice tip is to toss in some peanuts, roasted chana, or chopped fruit if you want better satiety and a bit more fibre with the crunch.
