![Ever found yourself in a cycle of stress around food and bloating?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bloating > Stress about bloating > Food restriction > ⬇️ gut health & digestion > ⬆️ bloating⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s very common for people to start restricting the foods they eat based on uncomfortable symptoms, but we know that food restriction (especially for an extended time) can actually contribute and/or exacerbate these symptoms by:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💡Slowing down digestion⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💡Lowering production of important digestive enzymes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💡Decreasing the production of healthy gut bacteria⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💡Increasing stress around food, eating, body & self, which further negatively impacts gut health and impedes digestion⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For example, it’s very common that when you stop eating foods containing gluten or lactose for a while and reintroduce them, you can start to experience uncomfortable symptoms. You might think this is ‘proof’ that the foods are bad for you and you should continue restricting them, but often what is happening is that because you didn’t eat those foods for a while your stomach isn’t producing enough of those specific digestive enzymes needed to break them down.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We aren’t saying that food elimination isn’t helpful – being in touch with your body and learning what feels good and what doesn’t is really important! But restricting food doesn’t get to the root of the digestive issues and often you might not even need to exclude these foods for the rest of your life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Research tells us that as a person increases their diet variety, their gut health and symptoms improve!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
