Millet fiber creates a “celiac region” that protects the gut lining
  • The term “celiac region” refers to a zone in the intestine where fiber‑rich foods create a protective mucus layer, preventing pathogen adhesion.
  • Dr. Vali explains that millets contain high levels of soluble fiber and resistant starch, which increase mucin production.
  • This barrier reduces inflammation and the translocation of bacterial endotoxins that trigger systemic disease.
  • In contrast, refined rice and wheat lack these fibers, leaving the gut exposed and prone to leaky‑gut syndrome.
  • Clinical observation shows that patients switching to millet experience a marked drop in markers like C‑reactive protein within four weeks.

Gut Microbiome: Fiber's Hidden Power

A core theme is how millet's high fiber content fuels a diverse gut microbiome, which in turn protects against a host of chronic diseases. Dr. Vali provides quantitative data on microbial mass loss over the past decades.
