Things I did for my gut (that actually moved the needle) 👇 1️⃣ Cut back on painkillers like ibuprofen — they’re rough on your gut lining. I save them for when I actually need them 2️⃣ Stopped taking antibiotics for every little thing — they wipe out the good bacteria too. Only when a doctor says it’s truly necessary 3️⃣ Limited alcohol — even a couple drinks inflames your gut lining 4️⃣ Homemade fermented foods > store-bought — most store versions are pasteurized, so the good stuff is already dead 5️⃣ 8+ hours of sleep — this is when your gut does its repair work 6️⃣ 5g of glutamine a day — the one thing I never skip 7️⃣ Filtered water only — tap water has chlorine + microplastics that mess with your gut bacteria 8️⃣ Dropped bread + sugary drinks — refined carbs and sugar feed the wrong bacteria
