Summary

Today, I’m going to tell you how to get rid of bloating. After you chew your food, it travels through the esophagus and into the stomach. The stomach is very acidic to break down proteins and kill microbes.

Ninety percent of digestion occurs in the small intestine, where bile and secondary bile salts made by your microbes break down your food. The large intestine, small intestine, and pancreas release enzymes to aid digestion. Around 20% of these enzymes are made by your microbes.

Bloating is caused by a problem with digestion. The type, amount, and diversity of your gut bacteria directly affect bloating. This often depends on if you’ve taken antibiotics and how much you’ve taken over time.

Broad-spectrum antibiotics significantly reduce your microbes, and they do not come back! If you’re missing any of your gut microbes, you’ll experience bloating, gas, burping, constipation, and more.

Other chemicals in the environment that mimic antibiotics can also cause a bloated belly. Glyphosate, birth control pills, steroids, anti-depression medications, PPIs, artificial sweeteners, fluoride, and statins can all contribute to bloating.

So many people can not properly digest food anymore because they don’t have all of their microbes in sufficient quantities.

A high-quality probiotic is a great solution to bloating. Along with probiotics, consume fermented foods regularly, such as kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, and pickles. Apple cider vinegar and kombucha can also help awaken dormant microbes by acidifying their environment. These microbes help support your bile and enzymes, helping you digest food, which takes stress off your organs.

**I am finding that using only ONE TBS of fiber in the recipe makes a better-quality product.

0:00.0	Today we're going to teach you what's behind bloating so you can permanently get rid of bloating.
0:05.1	When you eat food, you chew it, it goes through the esophagus, it goes down to the stomach,
0:09.3	where you have a lot of acid.
0:10.8	And the reason why it's so acid in the stomach is so you can break down proteins.
0:15.1	And also that acid is going to kill any microbes that are on the food.
0:18.4	Then we have this mixture in the stomach that then ends up in the
0:21.3	small intestine where you digest like 90% of the food. And you have all sorts of things that are
0:26.2	helping you. You have the gallbladder, which is releasing something called bile to start
0:30.5	breaking down the fats. But you also have secondary bile salts made by your microbes. On the left side of your body, you have this thing called
0:38.5	a pancreas, and that's making certain enzymes to help you break down carbohydrates, proteins,
0:44.0	and that's where you get a lot of breakdown, as well as certain microbes in the small intestine
0:48.7	and the large intestine help release enzymes. I wanted to point that out because 20% of all the enzymes are made by the microbes.
0:58.3	Not to mention, then we get certain acids that are created like lactic acid. And that lactic
1:04.0	acid also helps the microbes thrive because a lot of the good bacteria thrive in an acid
1:10.4	environment. What does all this have to do with
1:12.8	bloating? Well, bloating is basically some problem in the digestion. You can have two people
1:19.9	eat the same food. In one person bloats and the other person doesn't. Why is that? One really
1:26.7	big difference between these two people is the type and the other person doesn't. Why is that? One really big difference between these two people
1:28.5	is the type and the amount and a diversity of gut bacteria that they have. And a lot of your
1:36.6	microbial density and the health of your microbes has to do with if you took an antibiotic in your past and how many antibiotics you took in your past.
1:48.3	The greatest lie about antibiotics is that they do cause a diminishing of your microbes,
1:54.1	but within weeks, they'll come back to normal.
