Gut health is everything, if your gut is in bad shape, then so is your immune system It is important to get it
sorted.
![Page 3: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
You’re recovery from training will also be terrible if your gut is in a mess thanks to all the inflammation that will be kicking around in your body generally.

Leaky Gut Syndrome
![Page 5: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Clinical medicine and nutrition doesn’t officially recognise this syndrome as of yet but if Dr Axe is writing articles about its importance, then I’m a believer!
![Page 6: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Whether the condition exists or not, the standard treatment of drinking 5g of glutamine first thing in the morning with a probiotic tablet is hardly going to do you any harm, so it’s worth a go.
![Page 7: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Gelatine has gained lots of headlines recently too, for it’s ability to heal injured ligaments, tendons and potentially help those with arthritis.
![Page 8: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
It’s also said to health the mucosal lining in the stomach.
So try bone broth, gelatine powder or hydrolysed collagen. I personally use gelatine powder in my morning smoothies.

For Leaky Gut Syndrome
- Consume 5g Glutamine Powder on an empty stomach
- Take a probiotic supplement and/or fermented drink
- Supplement with gelatine

Healthy Gut Flora
![Page 11: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Now you need to look at your gut flora.
This can go to shite if you eat too much sugar, deep fried food and especially after taking anti-biotics.
![Page 12: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Fermented foods or drinks such as kefir, kombuccha and/or sauerkraut are a good idea ñ just start off slowly.
![Page 13: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
There are loads of probiotic supplements on Amazon but VSL3is touted by Dr Rhonda Patrick.
Buy it direct from the website though, as this why it comes in an ice-pack the following day.
![Page 14: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
As I’m writing this one of my friends has just messaged me on FB to say that VSL3 has literally changed his life and sorted his IBS
![Page 15: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
https://www.vsl3.co.uk/
![Page 16: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Note that when you first try probiotic foods or supplements, you might feel worse for the first few days but once your stomach starts adjusting, you should feel cushdy.
![Page 17: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
To help digestion, try diluted apple cider vinegar before meals too
Some people swear by apple cider vinegar, whilst others say it does nothing. I’m still using it though!

Cut out sugar
![Page 19: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Consume a probiotic like VSL3
![Page 20: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Try a fermented drink like Kefir or food like sauerkraut
![Page 21: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
FODMAP Diet
![Page 22: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Ah the FODMAP diet. This has been my saviour but also it’s what turns people off when I try and advice them in regards to IBS.
![Page 23: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
As you can see, the list is pretty extensive but for me cutting out wheat and dairy was life changing.
![Page 25: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Cannabis?
![Page 26: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
There are mountains of evidence now starting to pile up for CBD oil and medical cannabis as a direct way of treating a range of inflammatory bowel disorders.
![Page 27: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Here are some of the abstracts from just a few studies:
![Page 28: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
STUDY - Clinical endocannabinoiddeficiency (CECD): can this concept explain therapeutic benefits of cannabis in migraine, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome and other treatment-resistant conditions?
![Page 29: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
CONCLUSION:
![Page 30: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Migraine, fibromyalgia, IBS and related conditions display common clinical, biochemical and pathophysiological patterns that suggest an underlying clinical endocannabinoid deficiency that may be suitably treated with cannabinoid medicines.

Academic Paper -Cannabidiol in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: A Brief Overview
![Page 32: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
CBD is a very promising compound since it shares the typical cannabinoid beneficial effects on gut lacking any psychotropic effects. For years, its activity has been enigmatic for gastroenterologists and pharmacologists, but now it is evident that this compound may interact at extra-cannabinoid system receptor sites, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma. This strategic interaction makes CBD as a potential candidate for the development of a new class of anti-IBD drugs.

Another study looking at cbd and gut health - remember that gut inflammation and permeability has been linked to systemic inflammation and depression.

Cannabinoids mediate opposing effects on inflammation-induced intestinal permeability
![Page 35: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These findings suggest that locally produced endocannabinoids, acting via CB1 receptors play a role in mediating changes in permeability with inflammation, and that phytocannabinoids have therapeutic potential for reversing the disordered intestinal permeability associated with inflammation.

The final thing that I would recommend, is to consume lots of anti-inflammatory foods. Ginger, tart cherry juice (make sure you tolerate it okay, cherries are on the FODMAP exclusion list), kale and oily fish.

Add gelatine and/or glutamine to your diet for your gut lining
![Page 39: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Sort your gut flora with a probiotic supplement
![Page 40: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Cut out sugar and deep fried foods for gut health & reduced inflammation
![Page 41: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Try the FODMAP diet - especially reducing dairy - try for 3 days
![Page 42: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Look into CBD oil
![Page 43: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Intermittent Fasting is also worth a try.
![Page 44: How to Treat IBS & Improve Gut Health](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051504/5a64e6b57f8b9ac21c8b7a17/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
If you’re in a world of trouble and looking for a quick-fix, order some VSL 3 and cut out dairy for 3 days and monitor for any improvement.
