HOW TO CONQUER PAIN: The Three Step Process To Reduce Chronic Pain And Inflammation

Remove

Remove all bad bacteria from your gut and foster a healthy gut environment. Do you eat eggs and toast for breakfast every day? Food allergies are caused primarily from eating the same foods day after day. It is necessary to rotate food (protein) in order to have a more comprehensive selection of amino acids.

For the next 3-6 weeks, preferably 6 weeks, eliminate the sensitive seven from your diet: wheat/gluten, sugar, corn, soy, eggs, dairy, and peanuts. After 6 weeks, reintroduce each food every 4 days. Observe how each food makes you feel after you reintroduce it into your diet. If it makes you feel like crap, remove it from your diet. This is the cheapest way to find out if you have a food allergy.

Re-inoculate

Put good bugs back into your stomach to promote a healthy gut environment. Take probiotics (good bacteria) and eat foods that contain lactobacillus acidophilus and bifido bacteria, which can be found in a quality yogurt. I recommend Fage, a delicious Greek yogurt that can be found at your local supermarket.

Replace

It is important to have sufficient stomach acid levels in order to digest and absorb foods properly. If you are hcl deficient, take betaine hcl as a supplement until stomach acid levels normalize.

Repair

Supplement your diet with glutamine, an amino acid that repairs the gut lining and keeps your immune system in top shape.

Step 2:Clean up your diet: Pro-inflammatory vs. Anti-inflammatory foods

The age-old proverb “you are what you eat” sums up your relationship with food. In order for your body to stay fine-tuned, you must maintain homeostasis within your gut. Eat wholesome foods that are anti-inflammatory and skip the sugars and processed foods, which are pro-inflammatory.
