I remember a point in my life where I started to get SO bloated any time I ate Mexican food... 🌮 I thought I was never going to be able to eat it again, because it just made me feel so uncomfortable afterwards. It was so frustrating, because for the longest time I could eat it without a problem. Honestly it SUCKED. And I know a lot of people who go through this on a daily basis. But here’s what I came to learn... The food wasn’t the problem. It wasn’t the food itself that was causing my bloating. Nope, what I eventually found out was that I had something called “dysbiosis” - which essentially means you have too much bad bacteria and not enough of the good guys. I learned that we’re actually supposed to have a huge diversity of different good bacteria in our gut, and when that diversity starts to shrink... so does your ability to tolerate certain foods. This also creates a situation where bad bacteria can start to grow out of control, causing tons of damage & inflammation in your gut. Here’s the good news though... You can FIX this just like I did, and get back to enjoying food again without painful bloating. Here’s how... First, we identify what specific foods are causing your symptoms and remove them temporarily to give your gut a break. We do this for about 3-6 weeks, while also supporting your gut with specific enzymes, probiotics, and other herbs that gently bring down the levels of bad bacteria that have taken over. Once this is done, our next goal is to feed the good bacteria in your gut so they can become strong & healthy. This is where the magic happens, and where we systematically introduce different prebiotic fibers to do just that. It’s kinda like pulling the weeds in the garden, then watering & nurturing the soil so that new plants can sprout. And over time what you find is that the more prebiotic-rich foods you add to the diet, the stronger your gut gets and the more foods you can tolerate without bloating :) #bloating #gutissues #guthealthtips
