Garlic and onions are high in fructans which trigger IBS in millions of people a day.
My wife enjoyed and _loved_ galic for 30+ years before her IBS kicked in. Garlic is extremely bad for IBS because bacteria gorge themselves and produce a ton of gas, which causes horrible intestinal pain.
A study [0] recommends garlic and onions as key foods to restore a healthy, balanced microbiome.
I have never heard anyone before you claim that garlic or onions will kill bacteria. Rather, they let a specific kind flourish.

Nothing to conclude here. Garlic is, by no means, a food. Any study that recommends it as food is not a proper study. Garlic is an extremely potent medicine.
- gamblor956 7y agoSomeone must let the Italians and Indians and Persians and Greeks know that they've been eating medicines for centuries... If you're going to make a silly claim that garlic and onions aren't foods you need to back that BS up.
- msiyer 7y agoIndians know, or atleast knew till a few decades ago, that garlic and onion are medicines. They have known for centuries. I have no idea about Italians and Greeks.
