3 Surprising Habits Quietly Wrecking Your Gut 👇
Stress eating or eating in a rush 🏃♀️
When you eat in “fight-or-flight” mode, digestion switches off. Food sits and ferments → bloating, reflux, poor absorption.
Eating too quickly 🍽️
Digestion starts in your mouth. If you don’t chew properly, your stomach has to work overtime → gas, discomfort, and confused hunger cues.
Caffeine on an empty stomach ☕
Coffee’s a laxative and an irritant to your gut lining. If there’s no food in your stomach first, it can spike acid and send things right through you (especially if you’re prone to IBS-D). Always eat something first.
