Feeling mixed, swollen or just clear? It may be time for a bowel control.
When you have abdominal problems, it is completely natural to blame what I just ate. While cutting certain foods from your diet may be useful, it will not necessarily solve the problem – especially when you grow old.
“Elimination of highly acidic and ultra-processed inflammatory foods such as sugar, gluten-containing grains, artificial sweeteners, milk and seed oils is absolutely a good idea-these are weapons of mass destruction for your intestinal microbioma,” Gut health expert and famous nutritionist Dr. Daryl Gioffre told the post.
“However, even when people remove these foods, they can feel better, but they will not fully recover unless the root cause is addressed.”
This is because the true culprit may not be as much food as the way your body responds.
“Intestinal dysfunction – whether it is food sensitivity, dysbiosis, inflammation or running intestines – it is not just what you eat, but how well your body is digested, absorbs and assimilates nutrients in the foods you eat,” Gioffre explained.
And the older you get, the more you have one thing you work against you – acid in the stomach.
Gioffre, the best -selling author of “subtract your acid”, said one of the largest drivers of poor digestion while we age is low stomach acid, a condition known as hypochlorhydria.
“As we age, our bodies do not produce more acid in the stomach – we produce less, making it more difficult to break down and absorb nutrients in food properly,” he noted.
“Low stomach acid also weakens our protection against pathogens from the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe.”
Symptoms of hypochlorhidria include heartburn, cramps, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, indigestion, a burning sensation in the mouth and unusual fullness after a normal meal.
Hypochlorhidria can lead to autoimmune disorders, inflammation of the skin, gastritis and aclorhidri – the scientific term for when your stomach is working literally.
Out of age, other factors that can increase your risk of hypochlorhydria are chronic stress, excess alcohol consumption, tobacco use, long -term use of heartburn and vitamin deficiencies.
“The most digestive and intestinal health is not just about eliminating foods – it is about restoring optimal stomach acid levels to strengthen our digestion,” Gioffre said.
As such, he recommends going on a small acid-healthy trip-with a simple hack, with two intestinal health ingredients.
Drink 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar diluted in ⅓ cup warm water 20 to 30 minutes before your largest meal of the day.
One thing to mention: if you have acid reflux, you will want to pass this type.
Otherwise, “this simple step improves digestion, reduces inflammation and helps your microbioma tolerate a wider range of dense nutrients-so you are not stuck by eliminating foods forever,” he said.
