A lot of people who suffer from stress, anxiety or depression etc etc, also suffer from gut issues. I know I have!
I genuinely enjoy experimenting with different healthy foods to try, so for me, this is not a chore.
My diet consists of being, gluten-free and a low fodmap diet. I also do intermittent fasting for 18 hours, which means I only eat between the hours of 12-6pm.
I eat outwith this window, but I don’t make a big deal out of it if I do. It is usually when I have cooked something nice and I cannot help myself but eat some, like experimenting with banana bread, which is my latest obsession. Today, I am making homemade apple sauce in the slow cooker, to use as a substitute for sugar in the banana bread I am going to make tomorrow, so it is even more healthier!
This article I am going to post is especially handy for help in understanding the timing of digestive issues. For example, I ate something ghe other day and got immediately bloated, and my first thought was, what I had just eaten gave me that reaction, but this article helped me to understand that the reaction time was too quickly to blame that food.
So, I am posting it here because it really helped me make sense of everything.
The author of this article is the dietitian for the US News & World Report. She is known as America's Most Trusted Dietitian. Her book The Bloated Belly Whisperer has been a game changer for many.
So it is safe to say, she is an authority on digestive issues and was recommended to me by a Fodmap trained dietician, that I have came across during my time spent researching food and digestive issues, which I genuinely do enjoy.
The timing of digestive reactions can reveal the cause of the symptoms - and the culprit may not be what you originally thought. Learn more here.
