Healthy stomach acid is essential for proper digestion and helps trigger the release of bile, which is critical for breaking down fats and absorbing nutrients. Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. When bile flow or gallbladder function is impaired, digestion can suffer and place additional stress on the pancreas. The pancreas produces insulin as well as digestive enzymes needed to break down food properly. Poor digestion can contribute to stomach bloating, discomfort, and nutrient absorption issues. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is another common cause of bloating after meals. Poor gut health and sluggish digestion can also lead to constipation and ongoing digestive problems. Even the specific location of your stomach bloating may provide clues about the root cause of your digestive issues.

Chew each bite 20xs to activate stomach acids, might take a bit to start working correctly again, but it will. You will activate stomach acids, start digesting again and won't need to take anything for digestion. This is what has worked for me!

1. “It’s not just about the food, it’s about the system. It’s about your body’s ability to break down that food.” 2. “When people eat healthy foods or even raw vegetables or things like that, that’s when a lot of people have digestive issues simply because they don’t have the acid, they don’t have the bile, or they don’t have the enzymes.” 3. “The worse off the digestive system is, the less fiber you can digest.” These quotes from your talk matter to me because when my Crohn’s disease flares and the bloating gets severe, eating can stop feeling nourishing and start feeling physically threatening, painful, and emotionally exhausting. I have spent so much time feeling guilty or confused when “healthy” foods make me feel worse, but hearing that digestion is about the entire system, not just the food itself, helps me feel less broken and less ashamed of what my body struggles to tolerate sometimes. What hits me hardest is realizing that my body may not need more force, restriction, or self-judgment; it may need more support, gentleness, nervous system calm, and a way of eating that actually matches the reality of what my digestive system can handle right now instead of what I think I “should” be able to eat. You have given me a lot to ponder about the next steps of my journey.
