Matzah-Buster: Surviving the Holiday Menu

Switching to matzah and abundant holiday dishes is a serious challenge for digestion.

For Diabetics

One matzah contains about 81% carbohydrates. A "kezayit" ranges from 10 to 27 grams. Choose dry wines — they have almost no carbs (about 4g per glass).

Fiber Is Your Friend

Matzah causes constipation. Add fresh vegetables, use whole wheat matzah, and drink plenty of water.

Fish Day

Fresh salmon is recommended instead of heavy meat — it's rich in Omega-3 and easier to digest.
