Couldn’t agree more about eating more fiber! I still try to keep carb intake low but making sure i have enough fiber to compensate!

thanks for the read!

Gut health is so connected to many areas of our bodies. I started working on my gut health and my skin changed forever. Before I suffered from acne, dull skin, and scars. Now, I won’t say it’s perfect again, it’s much better than before.

Speaking as someone with IBS – if you have gut issues, consuming more fiber can be literally crippling (esp. during a flare-up). Cooking my own foods and not eating out, avoiding onions and garlics and complex carbs that literally make me double over from the stomach cramps are all key for me though. Being aware of which foods are fodmaps-friendly has been helpful. I’d strongly recommend to anyone having chronic issues that they try an elimination diet.

It is really easy to just consume easily digestible foods like simple carbs when you’re having issues but there are veggies and fruits out there that won’t cause pain. Great article, overall good advice. As far as the fiber goes… i’d only say proceed with caution. there’s a very thin line that easily turns into terrible, terrible cramps.

Great article, very informative. Thank you. Quick question, been dealing with a sickness and was prescribed 10 days of antibiotics, would I continue taking probiotics during those 10 days or just wait till after and then up my initial doses of them? How about the fermented foods, change any of the ways I am consuming them while taking antibiotics?
Just curious. Thank you.

This is a great post. I had no idea gut health was related to so many other areas of your health. It’s impressive what we can do when we understand how our body works.
