Digestive Issues
Do you find that you suffer from stomach problems shortly after eating? This can result from any number of reasons such as indigestion, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), stomach ulcers, Crohn’s disease, food allergies, or food insensitivities.
As a Nutritionist in Cortland, NY, we will do comprehensive health screening to uncover the cause of your digestive issues and develop a plan based on what your body needs, such as vitamins and nutritional supplements.
We’ll consider your lifestyle to ensure the plan is sustainable, unlike most diets that are difficult to stay committed too for any length of time.
Constant stomach problems such as constipation problems, bloating, diarrhea, or being gassy can make everyday life difficult and potentially embarrassing. The constant discomfort and many challenges you face on a daily basis are frustrating.
Not to mention that you feel tired constantly.
And not fully understanding what triggers the episodes makes finding relief difficult. It feels as if no matter what you eat or when you eat, you feel horrible a few hours later.
These are all signs of poor digestion. Generally, this is caused by years of poor nutrition and an unhealthy lifestyle. Thankfully both are correctable with a change in your choices of food and change physical activity.
Our digestive systems are filled with good and bad bacteria. The good bacteria is essential to maintaining a healthy gut, as they will attack harmful microbes, eliminate toxins, fight off infection and illness, and help our bodies absorb the nutrients.
When there aren’t enough good bacteria, the bad bacteria take over. As a result, you have poor digestion and suffer from these many symptoms—eventually leading to something worse, such as an autoimmune disease, sickness, and more inflammation.
How To Help Digestion Through Nutrition?
It sounds a bit redundant, doesn’t it? But the right foods can help to promote self-healing and promote good bacteria, therefore improving your digestive system. This can be achieved by eliminating processed foods, such as sugar and refined carbs. But this alone will not cure all of your digestive issues.
Diet and nutrition are crucial to your overall well being. Without proper nutrition and essentials vitamins and minerals, our bodies cannot function properly. Generally, when our bodies lack certain nutrients, vitamins, or minerals, our bodies tell us based on symptoms, muscle reflexes, cravings, and other telltale signs.
Searching online for information will certainly cause information overload. There’s a ton of useful and inaccurate information out there. You can try the various natural healing treatments available on the internet, but the problem with them is they will not be individual to your specific needs.
We are all different; there's no plan that is universal when it comes to healing our bodies. For instance, you may be lacking Vitamin D. No matter how much healthy foods you eat, the lack of this Vitamin will still result in constipation or diarrhea.
