Hi Frances
IMHO, the extra oil and quark might be causing the intestinal discomfort if it isn¡¯t balanced with enough digestive enzymes. Dr. Budwig¡¯s plan was carefully balanced, including sauerkraut to help with digestion, but also pineapple and papaya. Her product ¡°Fermentgold¡± was a mix of papaya and apple juice. I¡¯ve made this at home by blitzing papaya, then adding fresh apple juice and freshly ground flax seeds.
Eating papaya might help if you don¡¯t have time for juicing.
Papain, the digestive enzyme in papaya, is also thought to aid the bioavailability of cucurmin, a well known cancer fighter. It has many other benefits too, so well worth adding to your husband¡¯s arsenal!
Best wishes
