so i’m always reading your comments

getting ideas for videos and someone

mentioned

what to do with an inflamed digestive

tract that’s what i’m going to talk

about

the first thing i want to bring up is

what is the function of your digestive

tract

i’m mainly talking about your stomach

your small intestine and the large

intestine

the main function is to break down your

food the macronutrients

carbs proteins and fats and then absorb

the micro nutrients okay pull it in

through the digestive tract

at its smallest level in other words

you’re eating protein

but we’re absorbing amino acids you’re

eating fat

and you’re absorbing essential fatty

acids you’re eating carbohydrates and

you’re extracting the vitamins and

minerals

and then part of the undigested fiber is

taken care of

from your own microbes if you have any

inflammation

in any part of your digestive tract

you’re going to have a very difficult

time absorbing okay

there’s a condition called malabsorption

that means you’re just not getting the

absorption of the nutrients into the

body and that could occur

from inflammation in the lining of your

colon

or scar tissue that was created from the

inflammation so now we have a situation

because we’re not going to get the full

absorption of vitamins

minerals essential fatty acids certain

parts of your digestive tract

absorb certain nutrients okay so if we

can identify what part of your

digestive tract is damaged let’s say the

the last

part of the ilium that’s the last part

of the small intestine

then we know you’re not going to be able

to absorb the amino acids as well

or the bile salts so you won’t get that

recycling

and chances are you’re going to be

deficient in bile which means you’ll

probably be deficient in vitamin a

d e and k and also 90

of all your digestion occurs in this

small intestine

okay so if your stomach doesn’t have

enough acid or your gallbladder doesn’t

have enough bile

or your pancreas is not releasing the

enzymes and you’re going to get

something that ferments too much

so you’re going to get a lot of bloating

and pain in your small intestine

and so there’s a number of things that

create inflammation

it could be from taking antibiotics it

could come from antacids

it could come from pathogens because you

don’t have enough

acid in your stomach it could come from

food poisoning

tapeworms gluten grains

omega-6 oils highly inflammatory it

could also come from food allergies

could be from nuts or dairy or it could

be from fiber because there’s already

pre-existing damage and it’s just

tearing up your colon

so regardless of the cause of

inflammation there’s several things that

you can do

number one you may want to go carnivore

for a while because people with gut

issues

do better on carnivore at least for a

couple months okay

they don’t do well on a very high fiber

diet unless there’s maybe a small amount

of fermented vegetables

or cooked vegetables they can possibly

handle that but depending on the damage

you might not want to add

fiber however this is interesting

normally

wheat has gluten it’ll tear up your

stomach

but if you have wheatgrass juice a high

quality i’m talking organic raw

wheatgrass juice or it’s powder

that comes without the gluten that comes

without the fiber and that can create

some

major relief in your intestinal tract

especially if there’s

any problems with ulcers and

inflammation

or irritation or gastritis because the

wheatgrass

juice powder it’s without the fiber it’s

not wheatgrass this wheatgrass juice

powder

has a lot of phytonutrients including

chlorophyll that’s incredibly healing

for the internal lining of your

digestive tract so if you have any gut

issues or any inflammation that would be

one thing i would highly recommend

i’ll put a study down below that was a

pretty hardcore

double-blinded study uh showing some

really good results

okay the next thing you need to do is

fasting okay

definitely regular intermittent fasting

as well as periodic prolonged fasting

that’s going to give the digestive tract

a chance to heal you’re going to create

a condition called autophagy which is

going to help repair

the lining of your colon very important

vitamin d

at least 20 000 i use because it’s a

very powerful

anti-inflammatory and if you have gut

damage

you’re going to have a more difficult

time absorbing vitamin d

as well as calcium and then you also

want to replace what’s missing let’s say

you’re low in hydrochloric acid

or you’re low in enzymes or you’re low

in bile or you’re low in your good

bacteria so anyway that’s my

recommendation if you have

inflamed digestive tract hey before you

go

if you’re benefiting from any of my

content

i would love to hear about your success
