Gut inflammation is correlated strongly with depression
- Cut out sugar & refined cards
- Supplement with a probiotic or eat fermented foods and drinks
- Turmeric is one of the strongest anti-inflammatories. I supplement with Merica Turmeric. Black pepper increased ‘uptake’ of standard turmeric
- Consider cutting out diary and gluten. These can cause inflammation in some
- Eat nutrient dense foods like broccoli, spinach and kale
- Consider a magnesium supplement. I’ve found this very effective
- Supplement with fish oil and vitamin D3 in the winter
- Consider intermittent fasting – 16 hour protocol – Stop eating at 8pm and eat again from 12pm the next day. Be very careful however and build up to the full 16 hour fast.
I also drink 10g of glutamine first thing in the morning as this supposedly helps heal and protect the gut lining.
I also drink diluted apple cider vinegar about 15 minutes before main meals to help digestion
NAC powder is also effective for some in reducing gut inflammation
