What is REALLY causing your gut irritation??? Causes, symptoms and holistic treatments for dealing with IBS including FODMAPs, gut healing foods, natural supplements and lifestyle changes.
OVERVIEW:
My 3 Step approach to healing your gut:
> IDENTIFY: what is the root cause of your gut irritation?
> CLEANSE: get rid of the irritant (e.g parasite, bad bacteria overgrowth, food intolerances).
> HEAL: focus on nourishing your gut, boosting your immunity, reduce inflammation and rebalance your microbiome.
