The irritation in your tummy can be a result of certain food allergies or sensitivities causing aggravation to the gut lining. You can repair this by beginning a food elimination programme, then after 3 weeks gradually introduce each food type to see what you're reacting too.
Our gut holds around 70% of our immune system so it’s important we look after it -
Unhappy gut means unhappy us!
The usual culprits are:
• Dairy
• Corn
• Wheat
• Soy
• Yeast
How to fight back with food:
Probiotics
