The Reason You Feel Bloated

Stomach bloating is one of the most common signs of a leaky gut. Find out how to get rid of bloating by addressing gut health.

Today, we’re going to talk about bloating, the number one symptom associated with a leaky gut. If you have a leaky gut, you have crevices and holes in your gut where food particles and substances can travel through without a stamp of approval from the immune system.

For example, if you have a leaky gut and egg protein gets through, your immune system will respond as if it’s a virus, bacteria, or pathogen. The next time you eat eggs, you could have an immune reaction.

If you have a leaky gut, you’ll notice new food allergies along with the following symptoms:
•Inflammation
•Joint pain
•Skin reactions (e.g. psoriasis, dermatitis)
•Headaches

The most damaging side effect of a leaky gut is the development of autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s.

To get rid of bloating, you’ll need to address the cause of a leaky gut. Check out the 7 most common causes of a leaky gut:
1. Vitamin D deficiency
2. Seed oils
3. Raw vegetables
4. Lectins
5. Fiber
6. Sugar
7. Gluten

Even if you correct your diet, you must ensure you have enough vitamin D to fix your leaky gut. Get plenty of sun without burning, or take 20,000 IU of vitamin D every day.

Glutamine is crucial for gut health. Red meat is the best source of glutamine. Cabbage, bone broth, eggs, and kefir are also good sources. Zinc is also important for gut health. Oysters, shellfish, seafood, and sea kelp are the best sources. Fasting gives your digestive system a chance to rest and repair if you have a leaky gut.

    As I do agree with nearly 100% of this, I went from years of Keto to Carnivore and then had 2 ER episodes of Diverticulitis within a month of each other. I added fiber back into my diet and have been good. So, I do think fiber is needed. I was explained to like this: our colon is a muscle, and if it is not used properly, it becomes weak, like any other muscle in our body. When you do not give it foods that make it contract/flex it will become weak. I hope this makes sense to the rest of you as well. So, eat your meat, but I recommend that you eat your fiber too 😉

    • @HappilyCarnivore on June 14, 2024 at 3:09 pm

      Fiber isn’t needed for a lot of people. We’re all different, so what’s a problem/helpful for one isn’t necessarily going to be the case for everyone else. I’ve been fiber free 3 year this August and am thriving. Every time I’ve tried to reintroduce a vegetable I’ve had issues. I 100% feel my best on a carnivore/fiber free diet. And I’m not alone. There are thousands of others (at least) that thrive without fiber. So while it might be needed for some, it’s certainly not needed by all.

    I was having digestive issues and electrolyte problems while doing keto and fasting. Bloating, anxiety, depression, skin issues, sleep issues, grinding my teeth, and always having to pee after drinking water. I would supplement electrolytes and it would hardly help at all.

    I started to take phosphatidyl choline and it got better but wasn’t solving my issues.

    Eventually I started mega dosing vitamin D because a wart virus was going crazy and my immune system seemed to be doing absolutely nothing to stop it. I also started taking vitamin C in the form of acerola cherry powder, as well as black seed oil and a good quality omega 3.

    All of my problems went away and I am losing weight as if I were on keto and I’m eating whatever I want!

    I had very very very bad bloating, also I developed autoimmune hepatitis. Doctors focused on hepatites, that did nothing to my gut problem, my gut bloating was so bad that sometimes I felt like I was going to literally pass out and about to call the hospital. Since doctors were worried more about the hepatitis rather this gut problem that was impacting my life, making me staying in bed even for 36 hours 1/2 times a week I decided to solve it by myself with an elimination diet. I removed things with fibers (integral cereal), I removed almost all sugars allowing myself natural occurring ones like that found in milk, I stopped any kind of fruit, and just like this the problem almost went completely away. I was eating stagionated cheese, meat, eggs, dairy, easily digestible carbs like potatoes and pasta/rice (this last one was the problem), BUT they never went totally away until I decided to go gluten free, it was the best decision I could ever make, my digestion improved like never before. I think that gluten was the main problem, I’m not celiac, I’ve done the test, but I’m 100% sure it is not accurate and at least I have a very big sensitivity to it. Now I want to slowly reintroduce fruits, but I’ll never go back with gluten.

    It was difficult to find the root, my bloating was presenting after around 10 hours of the meal having gluten, so I could have it at night, as well as in the morning, depending If I was eating pasta at lunch or dinner. They sneak up refined wheat even in things like frozen cheap hamburgers or veggy stuff, so read the labels and be careful.
