I May Have Leaky Gut Syndrome, What Now?
If it’s determined that you do have leaky gut syndrome, then there are a few ways to approach treatment. You’ll need to focus on healing your gut and in turn, you’ll improve your health. Here are a few simple steps in order to successfully heal when suffering from leaky gut.
Eliminate Problematic Foods
It’s recommended that while you heal, you stay away from grains, as well as conventional cow’s milk. Not only does the protein A1 casein harm your gut, but since milk is pasteurized, it destroys vital enzymes, making sugars like lactose hard to digest. Some healing foods include fermented vegetables, coconut products, sprouted seeds and bone broth.
Take Supplements
To encourage a healthier digestive system, take beneficial supplements, such as glutamine, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and licorice root.
Reduce Stress
Begin to practice meditation, take a walk in nature or get into the habit of drinking calming herbal teas. Most importantly, eliminate key stressors in your life.
Depending on the severity of your leaky gut, the healing process could take days, weeks or years. In order to ensure long-term health, you need to create balance in your life. Just remember, health is wealth. Unless you work with your gut, unfortunately, it will continue to work against you.
