NEW YORK, NY (Fox News) — Common foods found in kitchens may harm gut health, affecting the microbiome and leading to gastrointestinal issues like irritable bowel syndrome, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea.

## Supermarket bread
Packaged bread sold in grocery stores can disrupt gut bacteria balance due to heavy processing and lack of fiber.

## Fried foods
High-fat fried foods cooked in refined oils are challenging for the body to digest, contributing to gut imbalance.

## Sugar
High-sugar foods and drinks, like ice cream, can lead to inflammation, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, impacting the gut microbiome.

## Vegan cheese
Highly processed vegan cheeses may trigger gut inflammation, recommending real, whole foods as healthier alternatives.
