Carrying extra weight around your midsection increases abdominal pressure, which can trigger acid reflux and make gallbladder issues worse.

Maintaining a healthy weight can:
✅ Reduce strain on your digestive system
✅ Lessen acid reflux flare-ups
✅Support overall gallbladder health

Small, consistent lifestyle changes like balanced eating and regular movement can go a long way toward keeping your gut feeling its best. 💙

Colon cancer doesn’t wait; neither should you. Updated guidelines now recommend starting routine colonoscopies at age 45 instead of 50.

Why it matters: Detecting polyps or cancer early can save lives. Regular screening is one of the most powerful tools we have to protect your health.

If you’re 45 or older, it's time to schedule your colonoscopy.

Prevention starts now. 💙

Bloating, indigestion, or acid reflux–like symptoms could be more than just “something you ate.” Gallbladder issues, such as gallstones or sluggish bile flow, can disrupt digestion and trigger discomfort.

Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ tucked under the liver, with a significant role: storing bile and releasing it into the small intestine to aid in the breakdown of fats.

When it’s working well, digestion flows smoothly. But when gallstones, inflammation, or sluggish bile movement occur, food can linger in the stomach, causing bloating, indigestion, or acid reflux–like symptoms.

After gallbladder surgery, gentle movement can help stimulate digestion and prevent constipation. Walking is a simple, low-impact way to get your body moving and support recovery.

Just remember: take it slow and listen to your body, especially during the first few weeks. Your health and comfort come first. 💙

Gut Health Tip: Eat Cooked Vegetables 🥦

Fiber is essential for smooth digestion, preventing constipation, and feeding healthy gut bacteria. But after gallbladder surgery, too much fiber too quickly can lead to gas, bloating, or discomfort.

Here’s a simple tip:
✅ Start with cooked vegetables instead of raw ones.
✅ Slowly add more fiber-rich foods over time.
✅ Give your digestive system a chance to adjust.

Gentle steps = a happier, healthier gut! 💚

Water does more than quench your thirst; it plays a key role in keeping your digestive system functioning smoothly.

Staying hydrated helps break down food, absorb nutrients, and keep things moving to prevent constipation and bloating. ✨

Your gallbladder once stored bile and released it to aid in the digestion of fatty foods. Without it, bile flows steadily into your digestive system no matter what you eat.

Try this:
✅ Eat 4–6 small meals daily
✅ Keep portions moderate
✅ Don’t skip meals—this can lead to overeating later

Your digestive system will thank you for the steady, gentle workload. 💙
