Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common gut disorder. 🛑Signs you have it include,
😣Cramps, bloating, and abdominal pain
💩Diarrhea and constipation
💨Excessive gas.

💦💊You can manage your symptoms by adding fiber to your diet, drinking more water, or taking probiotics.
😳But getting started in making these changes can feel overwhelming.

🌈That’s why I’m leading a live online course specifically targeted to help reduce gut issues.

🗓️Starting January 9th and for 12 weeks, we’ll uncover the root cause of your IBS symptoms and how to stop them!

🧬🍞You’ll gain an understanding of how your microbiome works and what food you can eat that will leave you feeling healthy, energetic, and symptom-free.

👩🏻‍💻We will meet weekly via Zoom in the evenings with a small group. PLUS we’ll meet privately twice during the twelve weeks to customize your needs.

📞🗣️But let’s talk first, book a discovery call at thehappygutclub.org so we can make sure this course is right for you!

It’s a common but uncomfortable topic: Hemorrhoids. They can affect anyone, so let's break down the symptoms: 🩸Bright red blood and itching. 🚽Soiling (having to clean up poo when you only went to p*e).
💩Pressure and a feeling that you need to poo.
😣Pain and swelling on the outside.

These symptoms can vary in intensity and you may not experience all of them. If you think you have hemorrhoids, come see me. I have an in-office procedure to give you symptom relief. On Sunday, I’ll be posting a demo of the tools I use. So be sure to like, follow, and share so you don’t miss out!

Stress is a MAJOR cause of IBS symptoms. It can increase the sp*ed of muscle contractions in the colon, causing diarrhea, or lead to increased pelvic floor tightness and constipation. It also leads to reduction of good bacterial species, especially lactobacillus.

🏃🏼‍♀️💩“Runner’s Runs” are the result of loss of blood flow to the wall of the intestine, as the muscles take the lion’s share of blood flow. This causes sloughing of the lining.🫢🩸You see diarrhea and sometimes blood. It is harmless, but annoying and embarrassing. But there are ways to prevent it:

🥤Hydrate aggressively the night before and the morning of your run.
🚫Don’t eat before running.
☕Avoid caffeine before running.
🧃Use glucose “goo” or sugary drinks for energy, if needed - nothing solid.

What's your go-to pre-run routine to avoid 'Runner's Runs'? 🙌

If constipating microbes leads to slow intestinal movement, and slow intestinal movement leads to constipating microbes, how do we get out of this never-ending cycle?Fiber, exercise, deep breathing, and water, that's how!

As always, knowledge is power! We can outsmart our microbes by creating an environment in our gut that is less friendly to constipation and more welcoming to regulating microbes.

🍝Choosing whole-grain pasta instead of plain old pasta is better for your gut! Why❓It’s because the extra protein and fiber packed into whole-grain pasta help tame blood sugar spikes.
Plus whole grain pasta is packed with other essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and zinc.

What’s your favorite pasta dish? Have you tried it with whole-grain pasta? Let us know in the comments!
