    SUPPS:

    • Probiotics: Look for multi-strain options with at least 10 billion CFUs. Good brands include Seed, Just Thrive, and MegasporeBiotic
    • Prebiotics: Fiber supplements like inulin or partially hydrolyzed guar gum feed good gut bacteria
    • Digestive Enzymes: Can support digestion if you struggle with bloating or nutrient absorption issues
    • L-Glutamine: Helps repair the gut lining and is beneficial for those with leaky gut
    • Collagen or Bone Broth: Rich in amino acids that support gut lining integrity


    I get my l glutamine and collagen from Bowmar Nutrition - code "JULIE" to save some $!


    TESTING:

    • Microbiome Testing: Companies like Viome and Thryve offer stool tests that analyze gut bacteria and provide dietary recommendations.
    • Comprehensive Stool Testing: If you have chronic digestive problems, functional medicine practitioners often recommend a GI-MAP or Gut Zoomer test.
    • SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) Testing: If you experience excessive bloating or gas, a breath test can detect if bacteria are fermenting food in your small intestine.


    WHO TO SEE:

    • Agastroenterologist for clinical digestive concerns.
    • Afunctional medicine doctor for a root-cause approach to gut imbalances.
    • Aregistered dietitian specializing in gut health for tailored nutrition strategies.
