Bloating that’s persistent or uncomfortable, daily or accompanied by gas, pain, irregular p**ps or is unpredictable isn’t normal 🚫
If you have to eat a restrictive diet to avoid becoming bloated, that’s not normal either 🙅🏻♀️
👉🏼The 5 top reasons we find at the ROOT of bloating when we use functional stool testing inside my Happy Gut Reset program include:
1. H pylori bacteria - lowering your stomach acid, allowing protein to be inadequately broken down, leading to potential bacterial overgrowth downstream
2. Candida overgrowth - leading to persistent (sometimes since childhood, like me) sugar cravings, skin issues like excema and persistent bloating when you eat foods that feed it (refined grains, sugar, alcohol)
3. Insufficient beneficial bacteria - without enough of the good guys, you can’t maintain a healthy gut wall. With a leaky gut you have increased inflammation, poor breakdowns of fibre (causing bloating for example) and negatively affecting mood, energy and focus (which are all dependant on your beneficial stains to help make your b vitamins, vitamin k and the bulk of your neurotransmitters)
4. Leaky gut- driven by excess cortisol, alcohol, pesticides to name a few things. When your gut lining is leaky, it’s inflamed. This will cause symptoms outside of being bloated too, like “IBS” , food sensitivities, joint pain, brain fog, mood swings and more.
5. Bacterial overgrowth aka SIBO - a complex multifactorial issues caused by any number of things - poor lifestyle habits, antibiotic use, chronic stress, snacking, late night eating, chronic constipation etc.
If you’re currently changing your nutrition to manage bloating but not seeing long term improvement (without restricting), it could be time for you to test VS guess.
Each client inside our program runs a GI MAP stool test (collected at home, Canada wide) and from that we formulate a step by step protocol personalized for you. Not what you see on TikTok or Facebook groups 🤦🏻♀️ This is strategic, guided and meant to help shift your microbiome long term. Your symptoms don’t return because inside the program we teach you how to get well and at well 💃🏽
