<b>If Your Gut Is Sick, You Are Sick – 5 Ways to Heal Your Gut</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>(This post probably contains affiliate links. Our full disclosure policy is really boring, but you can find it </b><a href="http://carlyonpurpose.com/disclaimer-disclosure/"><b>here</b></a><b>.)</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Gut health issues – fad or not fad?</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Ten years ago, I would have told you that I thought this “gut health” fad was just that – a fad. (And I could absolutely<i>not </i>accept that everyone was suddenly coming down with “celiac” disease. As we advance medically, diseases should become less rampant, not more – right?)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
And then my husband started having stomach aches <i>every</i>night and <i>every</i> morning. He started sleeping ALL THE TIME when he was at home. He was sort of… permanently unhappy. Not really depressed, but not himself either. He was too tired to do anything fun ever, and he was always sore all over (muscles/joints ect).</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I really thought it must be stress from his job – I remember saying to him, “You can’t possibly have a stomach ache ALL THE TIME!”  Eventually, it got so bad that he went to see a doctor. (And then I believed that it must be bad.)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
And he got a diagnosis of Colitis – an inflammatory bowl disease. Essentially, the doctor said, the intestinal villi were worn down in the lining of his gut, causing inflammation and ulcers. Even worse, in the long run though, was that the villi are supposed to absorb nutrients from your food.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Wrecked villi = wrecked nutrient absorption.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Wrecked nutrient absorption = nutritional deficiency = your body is getting weaker everyday.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Basically, the doctor said, unhealthy guts = unhealthy people. It’s not like having a broken wrist. The gut affects the entire body.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<img src="https://carlyonpurpose.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/gutinfographicsmall-410x1024.jpg" /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
And what was the cause of this gut damage? Probably Grains. With their gluten. Maybe Antibiotics had thrown off his internal chemistry. Maybe getting E-coli (when we visited peru) had done some long term damage. A western diet high in processed foods and low in veggies could be to blame.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The fact was that it didn’t matter how his gut got damaged. A sick gut was making him sick. He wasn’t JUST having stomach aches, it was affecting his <i>whole body</i>.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
So how come EVERYONE suddenly has gut health issues? (This was my question to the doctor.) And is it possible to heal your gut?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>A LOT of things have changed in the last couple hundred years</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
What are just a few of the things we do now (that we didn’t do hundreds of years ago) that are damaging our intestines?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
– Antibiotics are a big one. They’re an amazing medical advancement. Thousands of lives are saved every day thanks to them. But antibiotics can’t differentiate between the good bacteria in our bodies and the bad bacteria. They attack <i>all</i> the bacteria. The natural state of our guts are thrown violently off with even one course of antibiotics.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
– Chlorinated drinking water is another. Chlorine also kills all bacteria, not just good bacteria.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
– We are exposed to far more chemicals now than ever before – pesticides, medications, and even household cleaning products could be responsible for gut damage.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
– We eat an excessive amount of processed foods. Pasteurized foods no longer contain bad bacteria – OR good bacteria. Studies are suggesting that our huge intake of saturated fats can mess with our internal flora and cause inflammatory bowl diseases (<a href="http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/saturated-fats-change-gut-bacteria-and-may-raise-risk-for-inflammatory-bowel-disease/">source</a>). Bad bacteria feeds on our high sugar diets and flourishes in our guts.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
– We eat genetically modified food. For some, the jury is out as to if this is affecting our digestive system, but I don’t see why there <i>couldn’t</i> be a relationship between GMO foods and the increasing incidence of gut disease.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
There are other possible causes for our current gut health struggles, like excess alcohol intake, excess stress, a sedentary lifestyle or even past surgeries that caused damage to our intestines. Regardless of the cause of your unhealthy gut, you need to fix it if you want to feel good.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>If you suspect you have a damaged gut, What can you do to fix it?</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
(Of course you should see your doctor and get a proper diagnosis, and talk to him about your issues.) But there are lots of things you can do at home to heal a damaged gut / imbalanced intestinal flora.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
First of all, remember that if your gut is damaged you probably aren’t absorbing the nutrients from your food – even if you’re eating GREAT food! So switching cold turkey to a diet of salads and raw veggies isn’t even always the answer for healing your gut. Some raw veggies are actually <i>really hard </i>for a damaged gut to digest.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>5 things you can do at home to help heal your gut</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Replenish the good bacteria in your gut</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
You can supplement with high quality (preferably human strain) probiotic supplements (<a href="http://amzn.to/2c5JWsw">this is the brand my husband is taking</a> re doctors orders). You can also help to populate good bacteria in your gut with foods that naturally contain good bacteria – fermented  foods. <a href="http://carlyonpurpose.com/make-kefir-at-home/">Home made milk kefir</a> (or water kefir). <a href="http://amzn.to/2cClqiA">RAW apple cider vinegar</a>, Kombucha, sauerkraut ect- but don’t cook them! Heating the fermented food kills the bacteria.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Cut back on sugar</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Sugar feeds the bad bacteria in our bodies, and starving them out will only help you! It also increases inflammation, and inflammation is never good. Other “bad” things that generally weaken your body – like alcohol or saturated fats, are also detrimental to your gut. Cut WAY back on these.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Cut out difficult to digest foods</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Allow internal sores to heal. Steam broccoli, cauliflower, carrots ect before eating, leave grains (including corn) out all together (phytic acid – found in grains – can irritate an already suffering gut even more), and limit red meats. These changes don’t necessarily HAVE to be forever. But you do want to let yourself heal.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Take good quality nutritional supplements</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
…until your body is able to absorb vitamins and minerals from food. Your body needs these nutrients to heal, but struggles to get them from food if your digestive system is really badly damaged. This has been the most expensive part of healing G’s gut – but it’s also made a huge difference in his energy levels and general body soreness.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
He takes a <a href="http://amzn.to/2bZDd4R">liquid B vitamin</a>, a <a href="http://amzn.to/2ca7hYC">liquid magnesium</a>, a <a href="http://amzn.to/2cj9YvP">liquid mineral supplement</a>, and <a href="http://amzn.to/2cD2Y9A">L-glutamine</a>. (Those links are to the specific brands that we use in our home.) <a href="http://amzn.to/2cD2Y9A">L-glutamine</a>, an amino acid, is especially powerful in helping to heal the gut. Studies have shown that it is essential to repairing damage in the intestines (<a href="http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PII0140-6736(93)90939-E/abstract">source</a>). It also has some <a href="https://draxe.com/l-glutamine-benefits-side-effects-dosage/">other pretty awesome benefits</a>, like muscle growth promotion, curbing cravings for sugar and alcohol, improving blood sugar and fighting cancer, just to name a few.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Try bone broth and aloe vera juice to sooth & heal</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Neither one is necessarily going to be your favorite food – but these two things are incredibly soothing and healing to a digestive system that needs some love. Bone broth is packed full of healing, good for you things (- like collagen, proline, glycine, glutamine, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur, chondroitin sulfate, and<b> </b>glucosamine, <a href="https://draxe.com/the-healing-power-of-bone-broth-for-digestion-arthritis-and-cellulite/">according to Dr. Axe</a>). Make your own bone broth at home to ensure that you’re not getting any nasty MSG or other additives in it. Here’s a fantastic article on <a href="http://therealfoodrds.com/bone-broth/">how to make your own bone broth (and why you should)</a>by Jessica @ The Real Food Dietitians.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Aloe vera juice is the other one – particularly good for bad stomach ache caused by IBS, Crones, Colitis ect. It’s very soothing, but it also has<a href="http://guthealthproject.com/aloe-vera-gel-6-ways-this-super-plant-improves-digestion/?utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=social-post&utm_content=aloe-vera-digestion&utm_term=pinterest-followers"> a host of other benefits </a>– it’s a natural anti-inflammatory (if your gut is damaged, you can bet that inflammation is a problem for you), it encourages the growth of good bacteria, and it helps to keep you regular (something you REALLY want while healing your gut – or anytime. Having food just hanging around in your digestive tract fermenting is NEVER GOOD!).</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Recently I purchased<a href="https://un233.isrefer.com/go/hyg15/carlyonpurpose/"> Dr. Eric Zielinski’s Heal your Gut Summit</a> – and I SO WISH I had this resource when we first started learning about Gut health. We spent over $2000 (and many many hours) on meetings with a nutritional doctor who taught us about gut health. This is the information I wished for, shared by more than 30 gut health experts from around the globe. They give you the evidence-based tools you need to heal your gut, and it’s less than 100 bucks. (Plus it comes with 25 awesome looking bonus gifts… I can’t tell you what I think of THOSE because I bought the summit as part of a different package, but the bonus gifts LOOK awesome haha! TWO of them are on how to heal your gut with Aloe… so I know I’m on the right track with that point.)</div>

<div dir="ltr">
Have you tried any of these methods to heal your gut? What else have you found that works for you?? While G is on his way to recovery – almost no stomachaches anymore – we are still diligent when it comes to what we eat and what we don’t, and at this point we still think the supplements he takes are a worth while investment. Life’s too short to feel crappy all the time, and I’m SO excited that we’ve managed to find the cause of his issues and take steps to fix them.</div>

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND HEALING TURMERIC GUMMIES (PALEO, AIP

<div dir="ltr">
<img src="https://asquirrelinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/turmeric_1_text_2.jpg" /><b>It all started with terrible lower back pain.</b>  You see I have been following the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol since 2012.  After a year on strict AIP, I felt ready to start the reintroductions (yes, 1 year – I am a slow healer). Coffee was one of the first reintroductions I made, and it was successful.  As long as I kept my consumption of coffee low, say a maximum of one cup per week, I was fine.  But then I slowly started drinking more and more of it without even noticing.  It just kind of happened.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>And that’s when symptoms started creeping back in.</b>  I tried to ignore them at first (ahem, like that’s ever been a sound healing practice!).  It was mostly mild joint pain and itchy, watery eyes. Then I started to suffer from persistent and severe lower back pain that was shooting down my legs.  Long story short, one day, I ended up completely stuck because the lower back pain was so severe. Not good!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<img src="https://asquirrelinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/turmeric_gummies_3-1.jpg" />I went to see my chiropractor, but that didn’t bring me instant relief of course.  That first night, I barely slept because of the pain.  I gave in and took ibuprofen.  Now this is big for me because I never take pain killers.  I know they are not good for me, especially with an autoimmune disease. NSAID medications are a well known trigger for damaging the gut.  And the whole point of the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol is to repair the gut! So you see, taking pain medication isn’t a good idea.  <b>I searched for a natural way to reduce inflammation, and thus pain.  Turmeric was the answer. It is especially recommended for joint pain as it can help to quickly reduce the pain.</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<img src="https://asquirrelinthekitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/turmeric_gummies_4.jpg" /><b>Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant, potent anti-inflammatory, and a osteoarthritis pain reliever.</b>  This orange colored spice, related to the ginger family, has been used for centuries by Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine to clear infections and inflammations on the inside and outside of the body. It is a powerful root with numerous health benefits.  Try to include it into your diet as much as you can!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
You can find it in its natural form, as a root, or ground. Both are easy to source in health food stores like Wholefoods and Vitamin Cottage. I used ground turmeric for this recipe, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WR4LMY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000WR4LMY&linkCode=as2&tag=asquinthekit-20&linkId=KDG2SMWLEB2DSMWL">here</a><img src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=asquinthekit-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000WR4LMY" /> is my favorite brand.</div>

<div dir="ltr">

<div dir="ltr">
<b><b>TURMERIC GUMMIES</b></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Final Notes:</b> <b>these gummies are not meant to be a dessert, but rather a healing food.</b>  Before adding the gelatin powder, check the liquid and adjust the amount of honey to your taste.  I personally like them with only 3 tablespoons of honey, but the taste of turmeric is still present, although quite palatable.  You will be the judge of what is best for you!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Also, some turmeric powder may accumulate at the bottom of the gummies and form a thin layer. I don’t mind it, but if you prefer you can cut that out before eating the gummies.</div>
