Fun Fact: as little as 6 hours after a brain injury the connection between your brain and gut starts to diminish.
After 2 TBI’s my brain and gut broke up and I’m desperately trying to get them back together. This strained relationship causes me to be bloated most of the time for one reason or another 😩 it’s not cute and very uncomfortable so I’ve taken it upon myself to be come a, how to beat bloating “expert” and wanted to share what I’ve learned
HOW I BEAT BLOATING
1. Sleep!! Who knew? When you’re asleep if your brain and gut have a happy marriage they get a lot work done in your gut to eliminate bloating
2. Water: I mean come on…dehydration = NO little brown kids getting dropped off at the pool 😂 = bloating
3. Managing Stress: stress can have a big impact on how much time your body spends breaking down food. Constant stress limits that time
4. Limiting Sugar: sugar can feed bad bacteria causing an imbalance in your gut. That means less good bacteria to break down food and absorb nutrients
5. Digestive Enzymes: I take these before every meal to help my gut break down and absorb food. If I don’t take these I’ll be bloated for days
6. Magnesium Supplement: along with helping you calm down magnesium draws moisture to you GI tract resulting in a smooth ride lol if you know what I mean. I take mine right before bed.
I hope these tips help, if you have more questions feel free to ask! P.S. still bloated in this picture 🤷🏽♀️🙃
