How to Improve Your GUT HEALTH // My Untold Story 🤫

[@tudormiller887]

I have a rare genetic disease I never knew I had. (Tyrosinemia Type 2) it affects my metabolism and liver.. I used to eat red meat, gluten, dairy & sugary foods regularly, giving me constipation, stomach cramps, as well as feeling bloated and fatigued all the time. Now I eat meat free, dairy free, gluten free, non sugary foods, drink hot water twice a day. I feel and look better. All of the gut issues a experienced before, have disappeared, plus I've lost a ton of weight in the process.

As a long time vegan, I think I eat clean by avoiding anything artificial, no gluten, no preservatives, no caffeine, no processed foods, drink only filtered water throughout the day and have a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables each day. Unfortunately I suffered a work injury 8 years ago and now have extremely limited mobility which prevents lifting weights, running, swimming, etc and the lack of exercise plus being on opiates for chronic severe pain has caused extreme constipation. No matter how much fiber and water I consume, my intestines are not moving waste through my system. It has been literally over one month since having a “normal “ poop. Also, despite eating clean I have gained nearly thirty pounds of excess weight on my petite body. I went from super athletic, adventurous and active to sitting in a wheelchair in a very short time frame. Once proud of my healthy body, I am now dealing with a long list of serious medical problems. It’s tough to stay positive when so much is going downhill but I’m determined to get as healthy as I can. Could you give me a few ideas of how to lose weight given my limitations? All of the waste that’s been stored in my sluggish gut may be a big contributor to the weight gain and the health issues. Please help! Love your approach to nutrition and gut health and thanks for sharing about your own constipation problems too.

Hi Sue, thank you for sharing your story and I’m so sorry you are dealing with all that you are. The things I can recommend (of course speak with your healthcare provider) are a diet primarily of raw fruits and vegetables and periodic water fasting.

Why do i need to rinse beans when they come canned? U mentioned this but didnt elaborate

[@veganmichele]

It can help cut down on how much gas they produce ☺️

I'm over hearing this thing about "complete protien" every whole plant food has every essential amino acid and I have looked at thousands of nutrition tables from pubmed, USDA, NCCDB, etc. And Not a single one even had an amino acid table that was incredibly imbalanced.

[@veganmichele]

You are correct. Whole plant foods are complete👍
