Small, consistent habits can make a big difference in reducing gut inflammation and helping you feel your best.
Internal Medicine Specialist Dr. Nardine Messiha recommends:
• Choose fiber-rich foods and fermented foods like yogurt.
• Add anti-inflammatory foods such as ginger and turmeric.
• Manage stress with regular movement, exercise, or meditation.
• Limit alcohol, smoking, and carbonated drinks, which can irritate the digestive tract.
If you’re experiencing ongoing bloating, acid reflux, abdominal pain, nausea, or other digestive symptoms, don’t ignore them. Talk with your primary care doctor or gastroenterologist to help identify the cause and determine the right treatment plan.
