Stewed Healing Apples and Immune Cofactors

Foods confer information to humans through the direct delivery of micro and macronutrients via different signaling mechanisms. The immune system in the gastrointestinal system is a highly active component of human health and its bacterial load, in conjunction with the foods selected confer a wide range of opportunities for the delivery of information to down-regulate inflammation and heal the gut.
Functional digestive tract conditions reflect a change in the relationship between the host “microbes” and the mucosal immune and nervous system. These result in a wide range of distressing symptoms for which there are a variety of strategies, but no single intervention of consistent benefit.  However, food choices and types can dramatically affect the gut microbes and encourage healing.
This immune modulating food combination may be eaten for breakfast and dinner or as a meal substitute (no more than 1 substitution per day for many days) and as a quick and soothing snack.

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
Servings:

  • Course Main Dish, Snacks
Instructions
  1. Peel and core the apples and chop them into small evenly sized pieces.
  2. Put all the ingredients in a covered, heavy-bottomed pan and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring regularly.
  3. Cook until soft with rough shapes, no longer identifiable as apple slices. The colour should be a russet brown with the cinnamon effect.
  4. These may be eaten warm, or cold. I suggest making up as many ramekins (sized to hold 1 – 1.5 apple equivalent in each and covered and put in the fridge for easy access.
Recipe Notes

Ingredients for secondary stage

  • 1 tsp. of larch arabinogalactans stirred into the apple
  • 1 Saccharomyces Boulardii 250mg capsule sprinkled on the top – or swallowed separately
  • 1 mix of Bifidobacteria (mixed strains) (500mg) 5billion CFU sprinkled on top – or swallowed separately
  • 1 x LGG sprinkled on top – or swallowed separately
  • ½ container of organic natural yogurt or soy equivalent
  • Add 6-8 blueberries and 4-5 almonds in their skins
  • Finally, if required, a teaspoon of Manuka honey

    This recipe looks delicious. I have a few questions:

    1. When mixing in the secondary stage ingredients, is it best to add them when the dish is on the stove (still warm), or after the dish has cooled?
    2. Is the yogurt to be mixed into the dish?
    3. What is LGG?

    Thank you for your time.

      Hi Libby – you may add ingredients while warm, you may mix yogurt into dish and LGG is a probiotic

    I am due a endoscopy in the middle of June. This is for acid reflux/indigestion/heartburn problems. I am currently taking both Kefir and Bio Kult and have just started eating stewed apples. Do I need to use both larch aran (can’t spell) and LGG on or with the stewed apples? I live in the UK.

    Hi Jill,
    Thanks for the recipe. I have been eating this dish 4 mornings a week for about three weeks now. I have several bouts of diarrhoea on the days I eat this. Should I switch to pears or is this to be expected?
    Many thanks, Riri

    I recently heard that eating stewed apples every day would have the same anti-inflammatory effect as prednisone. Have you ever heard that? And if so, do you know the amount to eat daily and how long it would take for one to see the results?Thank you
