Key takeaways
When your gut feels off, stop blaming food alone; your motility, digestion, gut lining, and microbiome work together as one ecosystem, and each system needs support.
If you're bloated, don't just lie down; walking activates gut motility. In addition, digestive enzymes help break down food so everything isn't sitting stagnant inside you.
If you have IBS, it could be a label for symptoms, not necessarily the root cause, so testing for SIBO or other gut issues can reveal what else is happening.
Your gut may handle a healthy food poorly when digestion and your ecosystem are struggling, so food sensitivity doesn't automatically mean that food is unhealthy or must disappear forever.
For better digestion, give your gut four to five hours between meals because meal spacing activates its cleaning waves and reduces bloating by supporting motility and letting your gut clean itself.
