There are trillions of microorganisms living in the gut, comprised of dozens of different species performing important metabolic functions.
Gut microbes help us break down foods like fibers that we wouldn’t otherwise be able to process and are also key for the development of the immune system.
They help the body tell the difference between dangerous disease-causing microbes and helps the immune system learn not to attack itself. 🤒😷

THANKSGIVING TUMMY TIPS
Feeling bloated (the feeling of fullness) after eating is usually not a cause for concern, as it is a normal part of the digestive process. Distention – which is the visible expansion of the stomach, is also very normal. Our stomachs will naturally expand throughout the day as we eat. ESPECIALLY around a holiday when you are eating foods you don’t regularly consume and in larger portions.
However, when either bloating or distention is accompanied by discomfort and pain, that is when there can be a cause for concern, and there are some changes you can make to potentially help.
We have put together some top tips for common digestive troubles this thanksgiving:
