I used to have tummy troubles all the time. ALL the time.
I was embarrassed to see a doctor about it. I minimized the issue and told myself it made sense that I had tummy troubles since many other people in my family also have this issue.
I dealt with it through restricting my diet, thinking that if I cut out the triggering food, things would stay on an even keel. (Now I wonder if the trigger was actually glyphosate).
Last year, we had a fish fry that really did a number on me. I was so worn out the next day that I tried something new: kombucha.
Overnight, everything changed. I’m happy to say that my stomach is very regular now.
I usually keep 1 or 2 bottles in the fridge and drink a “shot” or teacup-full after dinner. Once in a while, I’ll drink an entire bottle. It’s pretty high in sugar, so I try to go light on the amount in one serving.
I could kick myself for not trying it sooner, for not doing the research and figuring it out sooner. I could kick myself for continuing to suffer for so long. For decades.
Knowing what I know now, I wonder if this was the vulnerability in my particular system, which “let in the bad.”
Allowed prolonged mitochondrial dysfunction.
Let in the cancer.
Sigh.
Well, I can’t go back, but I can tell you: If you have tummy troubles, seek out some fermented foods.
- Kefir
- Saurkraut
- Fermented pickles
- Kombucha
- Yogurt with active cultures
- Kimchi
There’s a wonderful doctor you can find on YouTube named Dr. Will Bulsiewicz. He’s the gastro doctor you never knew (or admitted) you needed.
