Feeling six months pregnant after every meal, even the “healthy” ones, was not cutting it for me.
The brain fog, fatigue, and bloating were nonstop. I finally found out it was SIBO: Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth – where bad bacteria overgrow in the wrong part of your gut and start hijacking your digestion and your entire life.
Healing meant shifting everything, cutting out sneaky trigger foods I never suspected, like garlic and onion (which was a personal tragedy, because I love to cook), and following a low FODMAP diet to calm my gut down.
It’s still very early in my healing and I still have intense side effects and I know it’s going to take plenty time to fully heal my body and brain, even with working out, antibiotics (yes, SIBO sometimes requires traditional medicine!), etc.
This bowl? Bone broth + rice noodles:23g protein, 0g sugar, gluten-free, low FODMAP and exactly what my body needs right now.
Bone broth is great for repairing things like Leaky Gut which can turn your life upside down!
Adjusting my meals hasn’t been easy, but choosing healing over hype? That part’s non-negotiable.
I’m not perfect and I don’t get it right every day – because what total life change doesn’t come with hiccups and set backs? But, the goal is progress and overall doing what’s best for my body.
