🚫 3 “Healthy” Habits That Wreck Your Gut (You’re Probably Doing #2)
Morning “detox” juices on empty stomach
Why: Acidic juices + fasting = gastric erosion (ulcers in 6 months).
Fix: Eat fat + fiber first (e.g., avocado toast) → then drink lemon water.
Skipping meals for “cleansing”
Why: Fasting >12 hours slows digestion → constipation (per Nutrition Journal).
Fix: Eat within 1 hour of waking (even 100 calories helps).
Overdoing “gut-healing” supplements
Why: Too much ginger/lemon disrupts pH → yeast overgrowth.
Fix: Use ginger in food (not juice); skip lemon water if you have acid reflux.
💊 What to Ask Your Doctor (Not Google)
If bloating/fatigue persists >2 weeks, demand these tests:
SIBO breath test (90% of “colon detox” seekers have SIBO)
Celiac panel (1 in 10 bloated patients have undiagnosed celiac)
Stool test (checks for parasites/inflammation)
💡 Doctor’s trick: Track symptoms with the Bristol Stool Chart. Type 1–2 = constipation; Type 6–7 = diarrhea. This is your real gut health report card.
