Leaky Gut Diet – 6 Tips to Kickstart the Healing Process
Are you confused about what foods to eat on a leaky gut diet?
Are you bombarded with too much diet information that you don’t know what to do?
Does it not matter what you eat, you still suffer from the effects of Leaky Gut Syndrome?
Odds are you need a complete diet overhaul.
Whether you love to stay in and cook or go out to your favorite restaurant, I’ll help you with what you should be eating to overcome leaky gut.
But if you do like to enjoy a restaurant or two, you’ll want to check out my leaky gut restaurant tips so that you can eat out without having to worry about the negative effects of eating what is on your fork.
So let’s get to it and look at 6 great leaky gut diet tips that you can start using today to start getting relief from your symptoms.
1. Stick to a Diet of Whole Foods
Your diet should consist primarily of fresh meat and vegetables with the addition of limited whole grains, nuts, seeds, and fresh fruits. Animal protein is a must. Stay away from processed and packaged foods that contain lots of fillers and hidden ingredients that may be driving your symptoms or conditions.
2. Adjust Your Food Ratios
We are all genetically and ethnically different. Some of us do better with higher protein and others with higher carbohydrates in our diet. Some do best with an equal balance. You want to find your optimal food ratio. Don’t worry, it sounds harder than it really is.
Start by testing both ends of the spectrum. Start with a meal of primarily meat and less vegetables. How did you feel afterwards?
Then on the next day, try a meal with mostly vegetables, some meat, and a small amount of grains. How did you feel afterwards?
Take the food ratio that you felt best with and then fine tune it from there. After you fine tune, you now have your proper food ratios that you should stick for all the meals.
3. Cook Your Veggies
When dealing with intestinal permeability, your digestion is impaired and raw uncooked vegetables can be hard to digest. It is best to cook them thoroughly to help assist your body to properly digest them. In fact, a good leaky gut diet should focus primarily on foods that are easy to digest.
4. Stay Away from Common Food Allergies
If you suffer from intestinal permeability, then you also suffer from food allergies. They both go hand in hand and are one of the most commonly overlooked Leaky Gut Syndrome treatment steps. You want to stay away from these foods and other foods that contain them.
Often times, avoiding these foods alone is enough to alleviate many of your chronic symptoms. Your diet should be designed to eliminate these common food allergies so that you can properly heal and won’t have to avoid them forever.
Just a Few Common Leaky Gut Diet Food Allergies
- Gluten found in wheat, rye, and barley
- Milk products found in milk and cheese
- Soy found in Tofu, vegetable oil, salad dressings, etc
- Sugar found in most processed foods
But your food allergies are not limited to these items alone. You typically become allergic to many of the foods you commonly eat. Determining your food allergies is easy with the Leaky Gut Cure program I have put together.
5. Cut Out the Baked Goods, Cookies, and Pastries
These products are often made entirely of white flour and sugar. These are two ingredients that are found on the list above and should be avoided. They contain no nutritional value and actually strip your body of much needed nutrients. But don’t worry though, there are many great natural and healthy desert recipes that are allowed and encouraged.
6. Switch Over to Natural Sea Salt
All of the studies that show the adverse effects of salt were done on toxic and processed white table salt. But you’re not going to use that stuff on your leaky gut diet. Sodium chloride (salt) is a very important element required for your body to function properly.
A good quality Natural Sea Salt has natural trace minerals and is in the form that your body can use best. It is not bleached nor does it contain any toxic anti-caking agents.
Throw out your fake and processed salts (i.e. Morton’s). New Zealand Pacific or Celtic Sea Salts are a great choice. If you have any question about your sea salt, you’ll know you have the right stuff because it won’t be white. Instead it will have pigment like gray or pink.
These simple yet great diet tips alone can take you a long way in getting relief from your chronic symptoms. This is because diet is the foundation of health. That is the primary factor as to why my holistic approach to healing gets such amazing long term success.
