that are strongest 1-2 hours post meal makes me think also of lack of digestive capacity, but also SIBO.
Symptoms that are present all day or
slowly progress all day hark food allergies and leaky gut. Additionally, there may be problems upstream in terms of digestive fire.
What to do This is a list of 8 simple steps that you
can take today to reduce gas and bloating: • Chew your food until it is semi-solid • Sit and slow down while you eat
• Take stock of foods that you consume frequently because they may be inher- ently hard to digest or you could be sensitive to them
• Increase your consumption of bitter and sour foods to increase digestive capacity. Foods like bitter greens, lemon, apple cider vinegar, radishes, etc all in- crease enzyme production and can promote optimal acid and bile produc- tion as well
• Consider taking plant enzymes with
• If you decide to increase your fiber intake, whether through the diet or through supplementation, it should be done slowly and incrementally
• Watch out for foods that are high in fructose, like refined carbohydrates, flour and sugar. Watch out for fake sugars
• If you have other gastrointestinal re- lated symptoms, consider a gut restora- tion program
RESTORING GUT FUNCTION
Whether you have a formal diagnosis of a gastrointestinal complaint such as Celiac disease, inflammatory bowel dis- ease (IBD) like Crohn’s, microscopic/col- lagenous/lymphocytic colitis, ulcerative colitis (UC), gastritis, ulcer, gastroesopha- geal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diverticulosis/di- verticulitis, gastric or peptic ulcer; or if you suffer from more functional digestive complaints, such as gas and bloating, in- digestion, stomach pain, constipation or
meals. Look for a formula that has lipase, peptidase and amylase in it as a mini- mum
diarrhea, this is for you.
Gastrointestinal disease does not spring from nothing, nor do symptoms develop for no reason. While prescription drugs are great at managing symptoms, they fail to get to the root of the problem and come with a variety of side effects. The approach for managing gastroin- testinal symptoms and striking at the un- derlying reasons why disease developed in the first place requires us to take a close look at each unique individual and their circumstance and lifestyle, yet there are several general core principles that we can use to help all people across the board. Rather than relying on a single drug,
or a variety of drugs, or one thing to be added or taken away from the daily regi- men, it is best and most effective to employ a multi-pronged approach to the restora- tion of GI function. This approach covers many facets of good GI health that may not be obviously connected. It is well known that many GI dis- eases and symptoms create other changes in the gastrointestinal tract. Largely through inflammatory pathways, increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut), disrup- tions in gut flora, overgrowth of harmful bacteria or yeasts, lowered enzymatic output and decreased stomach acid pro- duction are all probable and commonly seen concurrently with these conditions. This initiates a body-wide ripple of other effects that can include even more GI symptoms, nutrient insufficiencies, mal- absorption, headaches, skin rash, mood changes, hormonal changes, and a slew of other seemingly unrelated symptoms that make one feel horrible.

underpinnings that allowed disease to manifest in the first place, let’s discuss the steps to take. This is my approach to diges- tive restoration:
Remove:
In this step, foods are removed from the diet that are inherently allergenic and inflammatory, plus any foods that you as an individual know yourself to be sensitive to. Gluten, dairy products, soy, nightshade veggies (white potato, eggplant, bell pep- per, tomato), legumes (peanuts and beans), processed foods, dyes, guar gum, and white sugar can all be inherently aller- genic and inflammatory and exacerbate digestive issues. It is also important to re- move any infections that may be present. This refers to an overgrowth of bad bacte- ria, yeast/candida overgrowth, and infec-
