Marketing - Nutrition
German term or phrase: Geitstoffe
Die darmfunktionsförderden Ballast-, Geit- und Quellstoffe der Leinsamen sorgen für eine gute Verdauung.

From a marketing text for a company that sells fruit and vegetable juices. I've drawn a complete blank as to what "Geit" could mean. TIA for any help!
