And as we start to escalate and challenge your gut, your gut will have the ability to keep up with what you're doing as long as you're going slow enough. And this is how you build.

So for the person who has gas and bloating, yes, processing your food. This could be done through cooking your food, making like I'm a big fan of soups, stews, things like that.

In some cases that actually improves it and makes it more easily tolerable.

And the other thing is to look at low FODMAP foods. So FODMAPs are the parts of our food that are fermentable, that cause gas and bloating. And for the person who has a damaged gut, for example, if you have chronic gas and bloating, you have your old bowel syndrome, then it can be a good place to start with the low FODMAP foods and then ramp up over the course of time.

So an example are raspberries. Raspberries are low in FODMAPs, but they're actually very high in fiber, like extremely high in fiber. And so it can be a great food to start with because it's less likely to cause gas and bloating and make your symptoms worse.
