(For conditions affecting any part of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus)
1. Drop inflammatory foods.
Examples include seed oils, wheat, sugars (including honey, sweeteners, and fruits), and dairy products, including processed yoghurts.
2. Eat clean.
Focus on:
- Complex carbohydrates: Pumpkins, butternuts, arrowroots, sweet potatoes, yams, beans, and green bananas.
- Animal proteins: All animal proteins.
- Vegetables: All vegetables.
3. Change your cooking oil to saturated fats.
Use ghee, tallow, coconut oil, avocado oil, lard, suet, and butter.
4. Start fasting.
Take two meals per day, one at midday and the other in the evening. This allows at least a 6- to 8-hour gap between meals. One meal a day (OMAD) should come a month after perfecting the two-meals-per-day routine.
5. Stop abusing painkillers, especially steroids and NSAIDs.
These medications can damage and erode the gut lining, leading to gastritis and, later, peptic ulcer disease. Investigate the cause of the pain (a symptom) and address it.
6. Stop abusing antibiotics.
Self-prescribing antibiotics whenever you have an infection can lead to antibiotic resistance. Not every infection requires antibiotics.
Whenever antibiotics are prescribed, consider taking a probiotic after completing the course of treatment, such as fermented cabbage, kimchi, kombucha, or kefir, to help restore the gut microbiome and introduce beneficial bacteria that may have been lost during treatment. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are known to eliminate both good and bad bacteria.
7. Stay properly hydrated using salt and water.
This helps ensure that you retain the water you take in for utilisation by your cells and tissues.
8. Review your medications.
The longer your prescription list, the greater the potential for problems. Nearly all drugs are known to cause gastrointestinal disturbances; therefore, taking more medications may increase your risk of complications, including liver and kidney problems.
9. Exercise.
Walking and swimming are full-body exercises that help with gut motility. Weightlifting and Kegel exercises can also help.
10. Stop drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes.
These two habits can harm you faster than ignorance. The damage they cause to the gut and nearly all other organs is immense.
11. STOP SNACKING.
Snacking is eating!
12. Squat when pooping.
Squatting is the natural position for passing stool. Sitting while pooping can increase pressure during straining, which may contribute to the development of haemorrhoids.
