What is REALLY causing your gut irritation??? Causes, symptoms and holistic treatments for dealing with IBS including FODMAPs, gut healing foods, natural supplements and lifestyle changes.

OVERVIEW:

My 3 Step approach to healing your gut:

> IDENTIFY: what is the root cause of your gut irritation?

> CLEANSE: get rid of the irritant (e.g parasite, bad bacteria overgrowth, food intolerances).

> HEAL: focus on nourishing your gut, boosting your immunity, reduce inflammation and rebalance your microbiome.
