Ep 44: What Your Food Reactions Are Telling You

Feel intense bloating after eating garlic, onions and fiber? Nauseous after eating food rich in fats? So often we blame the food for the bloating, irregular BMs and stomach pain. But we get it all wrong. In most cases, it's not a food issue. It's a gut issue. Which foods you react to can reveal the underlying why. In this episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, I discuss the complexities of food reactions and sensitivities. It is absolutely essential to understand the underlying causes of your food reactions rather than simply eliminating foods. Together we discuss how bacterial overgrowth, low stomach acid, bile issues, and histamine reactions can lead to discomfort after eating, and how these issues are often misattributed to the foods themselves. If you're trying to decode your digestive issues and understand the deeper why, this episode is for you.   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Food fear can develop from repeated negative reactions. Understanding the root causes of food reactions is crucial. Elimination diets do not heal the gut. Repairing gut function is essential for food tolerance. Sensitivity to fiber-rich foods can be a sign of bacterial overgrowth. Bile is crucial for fat digestion and nutrient absorption. Feeling worse after eating healthier foods may indicate histamine issues. Gut motility problems can lead to bloating and discomfort. Constipation will negatively impact digestive, skin, and hormone health. It's essential to identify the root causes of digestive issues. Understanding individual responses to foods is key to better health.   LINKS: Book a strategy call with Hannah HERE Take the Gut Health Root Cause Quiz for free!
