Description

Why do healthy foods suddenly cause bloating and pain?




In this episode, I share how one of the most stressful seasons of my life completely changed my gut and forced me to rethink foods I’d eaten for years without issue. I also walk you through how stress disrupted my microbiome, why I used the FODMAP diet as a short-term reset, and how I transitioned back toward a more diverse diet.



What you’ll learn:




(02:43 ) Why bloating and food reactions can appear even with a “perfect” diet.


(05:27 ) What FODMAPs actually are and how they affect digestion.


(06:57 ) Why FODMAP foods are not bad but problematic for a compromised gut.


(07:44 ) Which foods are lower FODMAP and easier to tolerate during healing.


(09:54 ) How long to stay on a low FODMAP approach and why it’s temporary.


(11:47 ) How to reintroduce foods safely while rebuilding gut health.


(13:50 ) Why stress management is essential for long-term gut healing.
