PS l put more bloating tips in the description box. 🤗 ily! hope this is helpful!! let me know if you try anything out, and don't forget - chew your food, relax and let your life nourish you. 🥰

[@boneshakauhaahaa]

I have literally watched this video multiple times, just to keep digesting the information. I am currently healing from parasitic infection and needing to deal with the bacteria(candida/other). I have learned so much and have had the best digestion system I have had in over a decade! Thank you for sharing this information with us. ♥

[@daniellechambers6858]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. This is incredibly needed for me! I have been praying and asking God how to heal my gut and this video is apart of His answer! Thank you!

[@SincerelyHannah9]

Notes: 1. Damage control: assess what is irritating your gut. Examples: gluten can be very difficult to digest (try sourdough). Eat organic wheat because of glyphosate sprayed on wheat. Improperly prepared beans (soak them first). Cruciferous vegetables (leafy greens) that are raw; cook them well. Dairy can be irritating to some people as well; try raw milk. 2. Soothe: alove vera and marshmallow root. 3. Bind: bind onto toxins with charcoal. Systemic enzymes.

[@boneshakauhaahaa]

As I heal from parasitic infection, endometriosis and try to conceive, I am soooo thankful for this video. A lot of what you’re talking about is a huge part of my healing process. Thank you so much for sharing! ♥️

[@Christyyyytyyyyyyy]

Cambria!! I’ve been a viewer for years & this video has been so so informative and helpful! A year ago I started struggling with severe joint pain, abdominal pain, and feeling like I would get a fever everyday. It literally felt like I had the flu for 6 months. I went to the dr’s a bunch but they weren’t super helpful so I did some research and have been cutting back on gluten. I’m 98% all of my symptoms were gluten-related but am following up with a rheumatologist for an possible autoimmune issues. This was super informative for me as a consumer just to be more aware of why gluten may have all of sudden wrecked my body and it’s likely because of the damage it’s been doing to my digestive tract. Thankful for these videos!

[@janelcerda6522]

This is such a wealth of information, thank you so so much for sharing. I am having so many gut issues and didn't know where to start. Laying something so complicated out so simply is amazingly helpful ❤

[@amywalshie]

I never comment on KZbin videos, but I am SO glad I found your channel! I am waiting for the results from my Viome test and I’ve just cut out gluten for gut and thyroid issues. I feel so encouraged and supported by you (from afar). Thanks so much for sharing all that you do! ❤

[@CambriaJoy]

I’m so so glad you commented and I’m so glad you found it too!! So happy to help you!! Always want to encourage and support you 🥹🤍 I’m so glad you feel it!! Let me know if there’s every anything else I can do to help you 🤗💛

[@navarretefarms3483]

This is so me! I'm studying to get my health coaching cert and I've been struggling with recurrent miscarriage and perioral dermatitis...I know it's my gut, I'm so happy I found your channel!!

[@JosDLM]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Hope you get the healing you need.

[@rileydearth139]

For my iherb fans I found a great snack/dessert: get the nuco coconut wraps, put peanut butter and natural fruit spread (I get the blueberry one) for like a pb&j vibe, but the secret ingredient in the dessert wrap is to add rice chex cereal (or any cereal really). Then wrap it up and enjoy! Sooo good! The recipe was inspired from the back of the nuco wraps packaging.

[@user-ws4kx3zv5z]

Cambria! I love your videos and I love hearing about your journey! Totally resonates with me! I actually was finally getting ready to order the Viome gut test and was so excited, and I looked up the company on the better business bureau ... it had literally all horrible reviews, for all different kinds of reasons. People calling it a scam. It sounds like your experience was good ... but for any of us newbies, I just don't know. I'm kinda bummed all of a sudden. Any other gut healthy test companies that you know about? Thank you!

[@lillee0205]

I love that you are soo educated!! It makes your tips so much more real knowing that you are so smart!!

[@CambriaJoy]

Haha I have been through it all with gut health so my passion for learning is real 😂😭and even after I graduate I’m taking an entire extensive gut health course 🙌🏼 you’re the sweetest Calla I love to share with you!!

[@MagnoliaBellle]

​@@CambriaJoy can you please share the link or details for the gut health course?

[@user-dc1gb6cd4w]

Thank you for this video!❤

[@AvidReader19]

Yay for another video! I love the longer videos. 🎉

I’m so glad to hear that!! 🥰

I needed this video! Saving now!

[@emilymae3723]

This was so informative! Thank you so much for this. So many times I see doctors not able to find the root cause of what you’re feeling (myself included ) because they’re so quick to push pharmaceuticals when an issue arises. I have always preferred the holistic approach to things so going to the NP or doctor for an issue has been out of the picture for a while as nothing goes anywhere with them. I had stated that I have felt unwell and it has been seen by others around me, yet everything with the tests came back “normal” with my vitamins. I have felt so under the weather and just a general sense of unwell for a solid year, I thought it was mainly due to alcohol, so I cut that out. Needless to say my stomach is DAMAGED from the overuse of alcohol for a year of my life ( not partying but at least 3 a night some days or more when social) , not to mention I have always struggled to push myself out of my comfort zone when it comes to food because I’ve always had adverse reactions to certain things, but this is literally because I have not taken care of my stomach or eaten the right things for at least 5 years due to mental health and bad relationships/trauma from childhood. This has caused me to find comfort in the sweets and comfort in controlling what I am eating as I’ve never had control of anything happening around me. I have never been overweight, but I also have never eaten properly and sugar has always had a grasp on my diet. I am learning this is definitely something I need to work on for the sake of being well and healthy. I want to live a long a fulfilling life, and not have to worry about if I am going to have not optimal health. I also have been researching how glucose levels impact the way you function and feel, and how most of us are on a glucose rollercoaster. This has been my issue for so long, seeing it now from outside of myself has made me realize how much of an issue it actually is. This new year is a new leaf, where self care is top priority, for the sake of my own future and success.. Thank you again. For all the knowledge ❤️

[@LizariHoltzhauzen156]

Hi Cambria😊, I loved this video. I struggled with gut issues most of my life and I am going to try and follow these guidelines. I just have another question what is your view on artifical sweetners? Is it good for your gut?

[@abbyt3240]

This came at the perfect time! My doctor just put me on antibiotics for a really long time and I am nervous about it wrecking my gut! I will look into these. Thank you!!!😊

[@CambriaJoy]

Ahhh I’m so happy to hear that!! Yes so happy to help!! 🤗💛💛

[@ingridmartin7986]

Your videos have really helped me jump-start my own journey to improving my health. Thank you, and may God continue to bless and keep you and give you peace. 🙏 ❤

[@CambriaJoy]

I’m so so happy to hear that! And thank you so much, may He do the same for you 🥰❤️❤️

[@being_kaleea]

When Cambria talks WE👏🏽 LISTEN 👏🏽❤️❤️❤️🥰

[@rchurch78]

Hello Cambria! Love your videos! This is so helpful and addresses what im going through right now! I have one question, do you recommend doing all these things at once or is there any kind of timeline that you recommend for incorporating all these tips? Thank you! 😊❤

[@CambriaJoy]

Hi!! I’m so glad!! 🥰 I personally did them all at once personally! I wrote even more notes in the description box. Definitely read the directions on the label too! 😊🤍

[@art_strings]

Yes, a naturopath suggested L-Glutamine. It helped me SO much.

[@CambriaJoy]

That’s awesome! Me too! Lifechanging! 🙌🏼

[@MeeksLp]

Oh I’m so grateful for this video I just received my York test for food intolerance for me and my daughter I eat really healthy but my gut is really irritated I just don’t know what it is but I have a feeling it’s a combination of things You have really inspired me it tests over 200 foods and it tests gG1 to gG4 I’m really looking forward to the results Do you know anything about sea moss it apparently contains almost every micronutrient the body requires . Thank you so much, love from a massive fan in the UK

[@itssimplyglitz]

How do you personally use the charcoal?? Also is there a time frame between all these steps? Thanks for this informative video !!💗

[@StaceyA_]

Thank you so much!! ❤ should I be taking a hormone blood work as well as gut test?

[@kianamarie2670]

This video pops up literally as I'm having the worst day of bloating! So uncomfortable! Thanks for all the tips cam!!! ❤ as always love your content and you!!!

[@CambriaJoy]

Aww yay! I’m so happy to hear that hopefully this helps!! Love you Kiana ❤️❤️

[@teresasweeney3901]

Omgggg!!! Thank you for this ! Best video ever 🎉 do you take all thede supplements at the same time or do them in phases ?

[@CambriaJoy]

I’m so glad it was helpful! You can take them as needed depending on what you need to focus on but I’ve taken them all at the same time just as different times of the day as I noted in the description 🤗

[@brittanysmith8586]

Great video, trying heal my gut, is watermelon good to snack on and fuja juices with tumeric , and smothies, almond milk

[@fiercebeauty9]

Thank you!

[@dalizatorres8749]

So educational 🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@chocophye]

Thank you for this video!❤ It lead me to a possible cause for my chronic spontaneous urticaria. 😊

[@JosDLM]

Update? I got the same.

[@chocophye]

@@JosDLM still have it. My labs came back and apparently I have hyperthyroidism 🥲 Currently taking meds to lower my thyroid hormones. My vitamin D is also on the low side so been taking supplements and doing morning walks. Hopefully it gets better soon.

[@ameesaldana]

I LOVE learning from you! Thank God for a beautiful, intelligent, God-loving lady like you!

[@damarisrochaalvarado4032]

Hi Cambrian, what was the colostrum you recommended?

[@saramarques7986]

I'm dealing with this bloating gut issues problem and I found that what's been working for me is fenugreek seeds soaked and eaten in an empty stomach, also I consume all dairy but I can't digest milk. I appreciate your work and loved these tips! Btw, I'm a very long time subscriber! Much love 😙

[@CambriaJoy]

That’s amazing fenugreek I’ve heard of that! How awesome thanks for sharing! Im so glad you loved the tips and i love you so much im so glad you’ve been here all these years much love to you my friend 😚💕

[@denisemoye495]

It’ll be the lactose. You’ll probably find you can tolerate dairy products that are lower in lactose such as the harder cheeses and cream/butter. Softer cheeses and milk have higher amounts of lactose.

[@kmarie8206]

Is there a sourdough recipe you can recommend? 😊 I’ve been noticing that I have been struggling with bloating even if I don’t eat very much one day; the following day I am extremely bloated. Thank you for these videos.

[@jennyberger6688]

What about paleo alternative flours? What if nut flour and cassava and all isn’t good either. How do we use the charcoal?

[@Diana-mu9vd]

Also, what do you take for bile flow and mineral supplement?

[@lindarose8668]

I keep watching!

[@ptpink1983]

Thank you for another wonderful video. I had a gut feeling that a new video was coming 🤣

[@CambriaJoy]

HAHHAA I LOVE YOU

[@elisewhittenburg4054]

What are your thoughts on stevia leaf? Is that easy on the gut?

[@kellymuss]

This video is so informative and I just found your account and I’m loving it and going to get your books ! Do you have an Amazon or link tree loving everything ur posting but wish I had a place to find it all in one spot or save to my LTK so when I’m ready to purchase I can? Also wondering what if any of these items are breast feeding safe. I know about a lot of this process and items but have never heard someone with a good story explain it all so clear, also paid a ton to see a naturopath and kinda had the same experience

[@kellymuss]

Okay I found your links! Any thoughts on what would be a breastfeeding safe protocol to heal candida and gut? I understand you are not giving medical advice I just really have no where to go the naturopath I have seen is so expensive and I don’t feel like I got a ton out of it . And I feel like your video here is so clear! I live in a small town with not a lot of other options for naturopaths . I am cutting gluten, dairy is so hard to cut and nuts bc that’s what I use to keep my protien levels high and lower my on the edge ac1. I am adding coco oil when I can and lmnt everyday more mag at night and cut out putting spinach in my smoothies, would love to add in a supplement but not sure what’s safe? Seems aloe may be needed to skip and the l glut. I went through gestational diabetes and now trying to cut out cashews ( which I make my own milk) and peanut butter and cheese and yogurt which helped my protien during that time now to cut out for candida I feel so overwhelmed and stressed about what I can and can’t eat. Thoughts on adding the mono supplement?

[@kellymuss]

Also thank u so glad I found ur account so cozy and such a relief that life and food and been peaceful and enjoyable

[@breannacascia]

My 3 year old is really struggling with gut related issues, hoping I can implement some of these with her!! Thank you for pouring so much into your channel. It’s so so appreciated. ❤🫶🏻

[@CambriaJoy]

Poor baby! Oh I’m so happy to help! 🥰❤️

[@MariA-yr8kd]

I have a couple of questions about the test. 1. Will it it give you specific recommendations for what to do based on your results? 2. Is there a better time to take it? For example, will the results be “skewed” if you had a week of eating more junk or if you ate really clean? 3. What does the test actually entail?

[@theGLITTERbit]

I took this test. It just says, bad or good under these topics, and gives you tons of foods to eat but doesnt make the association of what to add in or reduce to help the specific thing. my doctors are holistic doctors and still couldnt help me understand because it doesnt give any answers other than bad or good under the topics.

[@kdani4777]

Eating less, even for short periods of time gives the body a chance to focus less on digestion so it can heal itself. The tricky part for people is to not develop an eating disorder.

[@CambriaJoy]

Absolutely!

[@wellnesswithsammi]

What are the continued education nutrition courses you take? I am super interested in taking them!

[@CambriaJoy]

I’m taking the functional labs training program from kale diagnostics when it comes out at the end of this year after I graduate from the nutritional therapy association 🤗 highly recommend NTA!

[@HomewithCasey]

I really needed this. I've been having gut issues 😕

[@CambriaJoy]

I’m so glad I hope this helps you 🤗

[@niamhbyrne4036]

Hi super video, so informative. Could you recommend anything for chronic constipation? Thanks

[@CambriaJoy]

Health fats are really important for constipation, ghee, butter, organic coconut oil, avocados, 🤍 also magnesium and potassium can contribute to constipation as well.

[@niamhbyrne4036]

​@@CambriaJoythanks, do you mean magnesium & potassium can contribute towards helping to alleviate constipation?

[@aprilreed9932]

I trust what you're saying mainly because your skin looks immaculate. You must be doing something right.

When do you take charcoal and monolaurin? Breastfeeding wonder if both are fine to take.

[@jaydendibb6368]

Which is the best aloe vera to take?

[@emoriarty777]

Question about after you kill, do you need to take a probiotic per say or can things like yogurt and kefir be sufficient?

[@LP-qr4ko]

Can children use these products? Any suggestions for gallbladder removal?

[@danaej7024]

Looks good! What brand of pasta do you recommend?

[@CambriaJoy]

I love the jovial brown rice pasta!

[@Diana-mu9vd]

Did you have a reaction when first starting just thrive probiotic? I’ve tried Megaspore but wow I felt awful s nauseous headache … wondering if all spore based are similar that way.

[@theweekendmagazine4657]

How did you get rid of candida ? İs no sugar diet helped?

[@CambriaJoy]

I’m so so glad to hear that!! 🥹💕 I praise Him for that too!

[@Melissa-zt4ul]

Your skin looks amazing just curious what are you doing ?

[@itskrisjeanne]

Question: Did you do all these steps at once or is this in phases? Like are you taking binders and killing and sealing all at once while also taking probiotics or is this a step by step thing? Please help, I’ve been trying to heal my gut for almost 3 years 😢.

[@denisemoye495]

I read that the gluten issue was due to the change of wheat used, one that is more resilient to disease and a higher yielding wheat but has a higher amount of gluten in. That’s why gluten intolerance was hardly heard of years ago.

[@Diana-mu9vd]

Also jersey cow or other vs black and white cow might be better, goat or sheep milk has less lactose so may be an option for those that can’t do cow milk, then there’s yogurt which I believe has no lactose but still has casein sometimes triggering to people. Both worth trying vs black and white cow milk.

[@brandykenoly6532]

where do you get your raw milk and thanks for making this video

[@healingkatlyn99]

Hello can I make a homemade marshmallow root tincture with that still be

[@alexandrasmith9190]

I know this was for gut but what did you take to heal your tongue.? like get the thick white cast off of it.?

[@CambriaJoy]

Everything mentioned in this video! The monolaurin is really important for killing the yeast, and then the Sacc. Boullardii probiotics and the bifido strains of probiotics linked in the description taken with every single meal is important as well. Homogenized dairy can flare up yeast overgrowth too you just have to pay attention to what foods flare you up! I hope this helps check the description box for those exact links to everything! ❤️

[@theGLITTERbit]

I need someone to interpret my viome test, it didnt help me at all- i literally dont understand any of the terms. its not user friendly unless you know the terms and such!

Oh man! That’s so challenging I can’t give medical advice so I would definitely talk with your doctor or work with a practitioner, like Kale Diagnostics to get individualized help with this area! I really do wish I could help more!! I’m so glad you love them 🥹 I wish there was more I could do! Especially because you’re breastfeeding doing a gut protocol definitely has to be done with caution. 🤍

[@brick3815]

You can get calcium from other sources like broccoli, seeds, sardines, almonds, leafy greens, beans... not just dairy!
