Is following a specific diet without making other changes, enough to move the needle and get rid of your symptoms?
It depends.
What is actually happening when you remove certain inflammatory or trigger foods?
It definitely can have a positive effect… but is it enough?
Certain foods can heavily trigger inflammation, leaky gut, brain fog, acid reflux, bloating, joint pain, sinus issues, and many other symptoms…
There are foods- like gluten- that will never be considered a part of a healthy gut-healing-friendly regimen (regular, non-organic, heavily sprayed wheat….)
We have to get rid of HIGHEST offenders, like gluten, because we have the facts on what they do to the system.
It literally rips holes in the lining of your intestines– yikes!
But what about all the other supposedly inflammatory foods? Dairy? Eggs? Sugar?
If your body is in an inflammatory state, you will likely react to MANY foods, even ones that most of us think of as healthy.
But in my experience, it’s not usually worth spending the money on a food sensitivity test, unless you REALLY want to get into it and spend the money.
We know they’re not always accurate and it totally depends on what you’re currently eating.
Food can move the needle a quite a bit, YES.
But it my question is, WHY are you reacting to food in the first place?
A healthy robust gut should be able to tolerate a wide range of foods.
So removing these foods for a long period of will leaving you feeling stuck, like you have to be restrictive forever.
And I want more for you than that.
Focusing on removing HIGHLY processed foods with preservatives, chemicals, dyes, seed oils and ingredients you cannot pronounce; while focusing on a whole foods diet- food that is closest to how it grows in nature– can do so much to quell the inflammation.
If we want to achieve deeper healing, we have to address more of the underlying cause and bring in specific healing nutrients so the results arelong lasting.
We talk about these potential root causes in my Gut Rehab Masterclass.
