Between the holiday parties, dinners, dessert tables, and booze, you\u2019re likely out of your routine and ready to make some simple changes to get back to feeling your best.<\/p>\n<p>So what can you do? The good news is that making a few simple swaps in your diet can have a major impact on your digestion and overall gut health. Whether you\u2019re interested in optimizing your gut health or you\u2019re struggling with poor digestion, try incorporating some of these gut-healing foods as a first step.<\/p>\n<h4>Kefir<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/probiotics_558.html\">Probiotics<\/a> are live bacteria or yeasts found in fermented foods that, when consumed, take up residence in the gut and improve health. Kefir, a fermented drink traditionally made with cow&#8217;s or goat&#8217;s milk, is an excellent source of probiotics. Another bonus, kefir contains antibacterial properties which help boost immunity and overall health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> There are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/5-reasons-go-dairy-free\/\">dairy-free<\/a> kefirs on the market. You can get coconut-kefir or water-kefir and still enjoy the gut boosting benefits.<\/p>\n<h4>Sauerkraut &amp; Kimchi<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/fermented-foods-for-gut-health\/\">Fermented foods<\/a> such as sauerkraut and kimchi are also an excellent source of probiotics. These foods give your gut healthy, living microorganisms which crowd out the \u201cbad\u201d bacteria, improve absorption of minerals, and support overall health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip<\/strong>: These foods are usually best kept refrigerated, and not cooked so you don\u2019t kill the beneficial probiotics.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/webber-naturals-ground-flaxseed_7168.html\">Flaxseed<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>This tiny but powerful seed is exceptionally high in fibre, which provides food for the good bacteria you want in your gut and helps eliminate toxins and excess hormones from your system.\u00a0 Want to prevent constipation and ensure proper elimination? Flaxseed fibre also promotes regularity\u2014one more reason for you to enjoy it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Add a tablespoon of flaxseeds to your morning <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/bobs-red-mill-organic-old-fashioned-rolled-oats_160541.html\">oatmeal<\/a> or yogurt bowl as an easy way to sneak in more fibre and omega 3s.<\/p>\n<h4>Bananas<\/h4>\n<p>Although they get less attention, prebiotics may be just as important than probiotics for gut health. This is because they feed your friendly gut flora and help them increase on their own. Bananas are an excellent source of prebiotics and have been shown to increase healthy gut flora and reduce bloat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Other prebiotic rich foods include Jerusalem artichokes, chicory root, raw dandelion greens, leeks, onions, garlic, asparagus, beans, and <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/bobs-red-mill-organic-old-fashioned-rolled-oats_160541.html\">oats<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Raspberries<\/h4>\n<p>The recommended daily amount of fibre is 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men\u2014but if you\u2019re like most Canadians, you\u2019re nowhere close to meeting your daily intake. A cup of raspberries packs in 8 grams of fibre and is a delicious way to boost your daily fibre intake while keeping your \u201cgood\u201d gut flora in check.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Eat berries (and all fruit) on an empty stomach and preferably first thing in the morning to prevent fermentation later in the day. This will reduce bloating and gas, and keep your tummy happy!<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/coconut-oil_3560.html\">Coconut Oil<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Coconut oil is mostly made up of a unique kind of saturated fat called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs are more easily digestible than other types of fat, which means less strain on the digestive system\u2014and therefore an excellent option for those who have a sensitive stomach.<\/p>\n<p>Coconut oil also contains <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/natural-ways-to-cool-down-inflammation\/\">anti-inflammatory<\/a> and antifungal properties which heal the digestive tract and help kill \u201cbad\u201d microorganisms that can cause chronic inflammation and discomfort.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Look for cold-pressed, virgin coconut oil to make sure you\u2019re getting a high quality oil which will provide you with the best nutrients.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/whats-the-deal-with-bone-broth\/\">Bone Broth<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/broya-turmeric-ginger-chicken-bone_136008.html\">Bone broth<\/a> has been used for thousands of years as a digestive tonic to help reduce symptoms of chronic digestive issues such as IBS, colitis, and Crohn\u2019s disease. Studies also show that the amino acids in bone broth such as L-glutamine and glycine help normalize stomach acid and reduce inflammation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> There are so many ways to sneak more bone broth in your diet! Use it to cook your favourite grains, drink it straight up instead of <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/tea_682.html\">tea<\/a>, or use as a base for a soup or stew.<\/p>\n<h4>Fennel Seeds<\/h4>\n<p>Fennel\u2019s anti-inflammatory properties will help calm your stomach and digestive track. Try chewing on <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/frontier-natural-products-organic_85985.html\">fennel seeds<\/a> after or before a meal, or sip on <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/pukka-three-fennel-tea_119852.html\">fennel tea<\/a> to relax an upset stomach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Chewing fennel seeds can also keep your breath smelling minty fresh.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/ginger_4853.html\">Ginger<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Ginger has been used for centuries as a digestive aid and is known for reducing bloating, flatulence, and IBS symptoms. It stimulates digestive acids that help support optimal digestion and maximize nutrient absorption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Add fresh ginger to stir fries, smoothies, and juices.<\/p>\n<h5>Foods to Skip<\/h5>\n<p>If you\u2019re eating a healthy diet but still suffer from digestive issues, you may have a hidden food sensitivity. It may also help to avoid or cut back on the following food and drinks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alcohol and caffeine<\/li>\n<li>Refined sugar and artificial sweeteners<\/li>\n<li>Sweetened fruit juices and sodas<\/li>\n<li>Fried and\/or processed foods<\/li>\n<li>Gluten, soy, and dairy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It may also be a good idea to try a supervised elimination diet to discover how food sensitivities affect you. This process usually takes 3 weeks and is best done with the help of a professional. Seeing how your body feels and operates in the absence of trigger foods can help you pinpoint the culprits that may be holding you back from achieving optimal health.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]The holiday season can leave many of us with bloating, gas, and digestive troubles.
