Are you struggling with problems with your digestive tract?
Gut problems and PCOS occur incredibly commonly together. The symptoms can include pain, bloating, windiness, constipation, diarrhoea, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), to name just a few.
Millions of people (including those without PCOS, too) around the world are struggling—from symptoms such as discomfort, through to those that are incredibly embarrassing, and even disabling, are common.
A healthier gut is essential for many reasons. Your gut breaks down and absorbs nutrients, prevents toxins from entering your body, and removes unwanted, toxic waste. It forms a significant part of your immune system, helps to maintain hormonal balance, and, interestingly, can help you to lose weight.
These gut-friendly tips may help reduce gut problems and PCOS
- Avoid gluten for a time. Test if this helps. Gluten is a known gut irritant, and I have seen incredible positive health changes from just changing this one thing.
- Drink 8 glasses of water per day. A hydrated gut is a healthier gut.
- Exercise regularly. The motion helps to move things along, so to speak, and helps your gut to work better.
- Supplement with high-quality magnesium, a prebiotic, probiotics and apple cider vinegar.
- Reduce or eliminate processed foods, particularly those high in sugar. These foods cause much harm, and can also increase the ‘nasty gut bugs’ like candida (which cause thrush).
- Increase your intake of vegetables, fresh fruit, and salads. The fibre and nutrients are great for not only your gut, but your overall health as well.
- Learn to relax. A stressed gut cannot function properly.
- Receive Chiropractic care. One study showed 26% of people receiving regular Chiropractic care noticed a significant improvement in their gut function (even if this is not why they received care).
For many of my patients, implementing even one or two of these tips can lead to a positive change in their gut health, resulting in a reduction, or even elimination, of gut symptoms.
