Gut & Digestion Bundle

Gut & Digestion Bundle

Do you bloat, get abdominal pain or have gas after eating vegetables or high fibre foods? If you do, you might have a gut issue like SIBO. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth is characterised by an over abundance of opportunistic bacteria in the small intestine. This is the leading cause of IBS and triggers nutrient deficiencies as well as impairing neurotransmitter production. ⁣ To combat this, it’s a good idea to follow a low FODMAP diet, limiting the types of carbs you consume to avoid feeding the bacterial overgrowth.⁣ This will starve the bacteria, keeping symptoms under control but will not kill it off entirely. You need to go one step further and pair the diet with an antimicrobial like MCT Oil. Antimicrobials have the ability to eradicate the bacteria entirely, addressing the root cause of your symptoms. ⁣Depending on how severe the issue is, this protocol may need to be followed for up to 12 weeks. As SIBO begins to subside, it’s likely that there will be some accumulated small intestinal damage as a result, so healing the gut lining also needs to be focused on. ⁣Foods like colostrum are great for this as they will facilitate your intestinal wall to repair fully. Colostrum contains transforming growth factors that stimulate the growth of connective tissue, including the gut lining. ⁣Once the gut is repaired, you can then introduce our Digestive Organ Complex, which contains pancreatic enzymes. These enzymes; lipase, protease and amylase are responsible for breaking down fat, protein and starches and to help the body extract the micronutrients from them.
