Do you suffer from bloating, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), or constant digestive discomfort?
You’re not being paranoid, you’re not being crazy, we are not the generation of people who complain about their tummies.
There’s a reason why you’re feeling like this, and it might be a sign of chronic inflammation.
Let me explain. I’m Yalda Alaoui, a Nutritional Therapist and Inflammation Pioneer. I started my work back in 2007 when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called Ulcerative Colitis. Prior to that, I had suffered for many years from what I now think was probably IBS.
I had stomach pains, there were so many foods I couldn’t digest. I was rushed quite a few times to hospital when I was a teenager with terrible stomach pains and at that time doctors would check for appendicitis and if you didn’t have that they would tell us it was just a bit of gas, go home.
I now know that my gut bacteria were disrupted and unfortunately, that might have contributed to me developing an autoimmune disease because bloating and digestive issues can lead to chronic inflammation.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Bloating, and Chronic Inflammation
Let me explain. 70% of your immune system cells, called gut-associated lymphoid tissue, reside in your gut. When you have poor digestion, when you have a compromised microbiota, when you have a lack of diversity in your gut bacteria, there are great chances that your immune system health might be compromised.
Chronic inflammation is a dysregulation of the immune system so when you improve your gut health, you improve your immune system health, and you lower your chronic inflammation.
Also, you might notice that when you’re bloated you feel quite anxious and have low energy and a lack of focus. That’s because 60% of your neurotransmitters are produced in the gut.
Anti-Inflammatory Diet for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Leaky Gut
How can my method help you? Well, when I launched this platform my primary aim was to improve gut health and lower chronic inflammation.
All along the gastrointestinal tract, there is a thin layer of mucus. When our gut bacteria are disrupted, we lose that layer of mucus. That leads to a syndrome called Leaky Gut Syndrome. When we have Leaky Gut Syndrome little particles of food can go from the gastrointestinal tract and leak into the bloodstream. The body, the immune system, then sees that as a foreign pathogen and starts producing antibodies against those foods.
Food Intolerances and Leaky Gut
That’s why you might find that you have food intolerances, and you say oh I can’t eat this it makes me feel unwell, I can’t eat that. Most people with food intolerances in fact don’t have food intolerances. What they do have is Leaky Gut Syndrome. So don’t go and waste a fortune on tests for food intolerances, improve your gut health, and start the Eat Burn Sleep lifestyle.
