Bloating & Food Intolerance
Abdominal Bloating
The digestive tract contains up to two pounds of live, living bacteria. The majority of this bacteria reside within the large intestine. Some of these bacteria are protective and health enhancing. Others, however, are toxin producing. Any disturbance of gut health can trigger symptoms of bloating.
Abdominal Bloating Causes
Many prescribed drugs can disrupt the microbiome. Antibiotics are a real concern. Most worrying are repeat courses of antibiotics because of the potential damage to the gut bacteria. Repeat courses could mean that you are not treating the root cause. What is feeding this ongoing infection? Treating the root cause as opposed to just treating symptoms is increasingly what patients request from their doctor.
Your diet is critical to your gut health. Prebiotic foods such as garlic, onions, lentils, leeks, asparagus bananas etc. are some of the essential foods that feed the good gut bacteria. However, for some people these foods can trigger a lot of gas and bloating. Food intolerance is a significant problem for many people and can cause severe bloating symptoms.
For people suffering with coelic disease, gluten will negatively impact their gut health. Gluten intolerance is another separate issue. Many people are affected by Candida Albicans (Thrush). This infection is associated with recurring urinary tract infections and skin issues. The source of the infection is often rooted in a disturbed gut bacteria (microbiome) and bloating is a common feature.
Gut Bacteria
The blue and green globules are the overgrown, toxic spores within the colon. The white specles are the toxins released by these toxic gut bacteria.
