What is REALLY causing your gut irritation??? Causes, symptoms and holistic treatments for dealing with IBS including FODMAPs, gut healing foods, natural supplements and lifestyle changes.

OVERVIEW:

My 3 Step approach to healing your gut:

> IDENTIFY: what is the root cause of your gut irritation?

> CLEANSE: get rid of the irritant (e.g parasite, bad bacteria overgrowth, food intolerances).

> HEAL: focus on nourishing your gut, boosting your immunity, reduce inflammation and rebalance your microbiome.

7 THINGS TO INCLUDE IN YOUR DIET:

1. FIBRE: soluble for IBS-D (blueberries, sweet potato, chia seeds, flax seeds, psyllium husks), insoluble for IBS-C (green beans, raspberries, kale, brown rice, quinoa)

2. PROBIOTICS: kombucha*, kefir**, yogurt*, miso, tempeh, sauerkraut, supplements (mentioned: VSL#3, Symprove, Microbz)

*I like Remedy as it contains 0g sugar

**Remedy & Purearth do dairy free kefir

3. PREBIOTICS: green bananas, sweet potato, blueberries, raw apple cider vinegar, dandelion greens, chicory, baobab

4. COLON CLEANSERS: leafy greens, spirulina, chlorella, moringa, matcha, psyllium husks, fennel, peppermint, oregano

5. ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES: berries, avocado, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, açai, cacao, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, omega 3 rich foods like oily fish, olive oil, walnuts, flax and chia.

6. ANTI-SPASMODICS: chamomile, ginger, peppermint, fennel

7. ADAPTOGENS: ashwagandha, cordyceps, holy basil / tulsi, maca, liquorice root (look for deglycyrrhizinated licorice / DGL to prevent high blood pressure)

SUPPLEMENTS SUGGESTIONS:

>> Bone broth

>> L-glutamine powder

>> Slippery elm powder

>> Marshmallow root
