Do You Have Gas, Bloating, Or Digestive Issues?

I previously talked about 3 Ways To Easily Improve Digestion in your stomach. So what happens to your food once it passes through your stomach? It moves into the small intestine. (Remember Biology 101?) And did you know that 90% of ALL nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine? But when your villi (the absorption fingers) in your small intestines are damaged, big problems can occur – something called Leaky Gut.

What is Leaky Gut And How To Tell If You Have It

Do you suffer from gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea and other digestive disturbances? You could have Leaky Gut. Leaky Gut can be a root cause of many Food Allergies and Autoimmune conditions like:

Psoriasis, Eczema
Asthma/Allergies
Fibromyalgia
Lupus
Crohn’s Disease
Ulcerative Colitis
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Type 1 Diabetes
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Multiple Sclerosis
Celiac Disease

What Causes or Aggravates Leaky Gut?

Here is a list of things that could be aggravating or causing leaky gut:

Alcohol
Caffeine
Parasites
Bacteria
Chemical additives
Wheat gluten
Excessive fluid with meals
Inadequate chewing
Enzyme deficiencies
Refined carbs (junk food)
Prescription hormones (Birth Control pills) & other medications
Mold and fungal toxins
Dental toxins/heavy metals – silver fillings can be a big cause of leaky gut
STRESS
Genetically Modified Foods (GMO)

More On Bone Broth

Make your own chicken or beef stock (use pasture-raised, organic, antibiotic/hormone-free meats) and use it to make a variety of soups. You can use this in your brown rice instead of water or use it to steam your veggies. I pour it in a tray of ice cubes to freeze and then use 2-3 ice cubes in a cup of hot water for a cup of delicious homemade broth. Homemade soups will strengthen and nourish your body!

If you do suffer from gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea and other digestive issues, I hope with the information above you will be able to start the healing process to strengthen your digestive system & immune system.
