Why Your Food Won't Digest Properly - The cause of Bloating, Gas, and an INFLAMED GUT

Improper digestion leads to a host of digestive issues that severely compromise your health and well-being. These conditions include acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, deficiencies, constipation, bloating, gas, depression, obesity, and even cancer.
In this video, I give you 5 REASONS Your Food is NOT Properly Digesting. This will help you understand the most common reasons I find people suffer in their digestive health. Once you improve your digestion instead of wasting your time with treatments that only put a bandaid on the cause you might experience permanent relief.
This is the first step towards healing the gut, correcting the behavior that caused it. The second step is removing the years of accumulated waste and toxins that reside in the gut. Check out my Full-Body Detox 14 or 28-Day Detox and the countless reviews on my website to RECLAIM your gut health!

1. Low stomach acid (too many carbs and unhealthy foods) 2. Improperly combining foods 3. Drinking too much during meals (dilutes stomach acid; drink prior to the meal) 4. Gut dysbiosis (an imbalance of microorganisms in the intestines) 5. A trash diet You're welcome! 🙂 I'd add a 6th reason -- INACTIVITY or lack of exercise and movement.

My adopted son who is now twenty seven ate a handful of raisins when he was about one year old. Went to sleep and in the morning woke up not breathing properly. Somehow a raisin went in the wrong way, lodged in his nostril and was pulled out as a big green grape! It was unreal. I just thanked God. We didn’t know how he slept with that clogged nostril. Even with that experience I never thought about the body having to rehydrate these dried out foods. Wow.

[@MikeThaPhilosopher]

You are my doctor brotha! I truly appreciate your work. 🙌🏽

[@vernonpeoples2568]

Thanks Dr. Price for mentioning the importance of not drinking during meals, 30mins to a hour before or after meals because in the mouth the saliva secretes enzymes that accompany the (Bolus) foods as you swallow and liquid of any kind breaks the bonds of these enzymes (Amylase, Protease, And Lipase) which help your body breakdown, carbohydrates, proteins and fats, therefore best practice is to not drink during your meals to optimize digestion,nutrient extraction and prevent bloating and gas. Thanks Dr. Price for all your doing for us. 🙏🏾

[@veganfuture4224]

I have noticed it is absolutely crucial for me to have enough liquid for the food in my system… so lately I’ve been drinking lots with my food which helped me digest better… but I might give it another try (did it before) with rather drinking before the meal and watch my digestion.

Interesting! As soon as I finished eating, I would drink a glass of water. I have been told it helps to digest the food a lot faster. I guess I was doing it totally wrong. I didn't know you were to drink about an hour before meals or 30 mins after. Ugh! Everyday you learn something. Thanks for the info. Your vids are always informative.

Yes, thank you-food combining explained perfectly. Listen, I’m a witness that if you combine the right foods and remove man made processed foods, you’ll definitely lose weight.

It fell off when I combined the right foods for digestion. God bless 🙏🏾
