🌿 Tired of Feeling Bloated and Unwell? It Could Be Food Intolerance and it’s NOT likely gluten! 🌿

Waking up feeling refreshed and full of energy isn’t just a dream. Many everyday struggles—like bloating, tummy aches, migraines, or skin issues—can be traced back to food intolerance.

Common signs include:

😣 Bloating, stomach pain, IBS, and digestive discomfort
😵 Headaches, migraines, brain fog, and constant fatigue
🌿 Eczema, hives, rashes, psoriasis, and arthritis
🤧 Hay fever, asthma, and other allergy-like symptoms

Too often, these issues are overlooked by medical doctors, who focus only on managing symptoms rather than investigating the root cause. Medications may temporarily relieve discomfort, but without identifying the underlying triggers, the cycle continues. Many people spend years searching for answers, trying elimination diets, or relying on ongoing treatments—without realizing that food intolerance could be the key to lasting relief.

This is where Sensitive Foods steps in. Identifying problem foods and addressing gut health can transform well-being and provide long-term solutions, not just temporary fixes.

The Importance of Calcium Supplementation After Bariatric Surgery
🦴🦴
Bariatric surgery can be a life-changing solution for individuals struggling with obesity, but it comes with long-term nutritional considerations—especially when it comes to calcium. After procedures like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, the body’s ability to absorb calcium is significantly reduced. This can lead to deficiencies that weaken bones, increase the risk of fractures, and potentially cause conditions like osteoporosis.

Calcium is essential for maintaining strong bones, healthy teeth, and proper muscle and nerve function. Since bariatric surgery alters the digestive system and reduces calcium absorption (particularly calcium carbonate), patients are usually advised to take calcium citrate supplements, which are better absorbed post-surgery.

Regular supplementation, along with monitoring vitamin D levels (which aids in calcium absorption), is crucial for preventing long-term complications. Always follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations and schedule regular blood tests to ensure you’re meeting your nutritional needs.

In short: calcium supplementation isn’t just a suggestion after bariatric surgery—it’s a necessity for lifelong health.
