Healing from leaky gut is a journey, not a destination. This article explores the author's personal experience with leaky gut, sharing their daily struggles and triumphs as they navigate a new diet to regain their health. On day 11, the author faces a setback with extreme fatigue, but emphasises the importance of listening to their body's signals and being responsive to its needs. With a focus on nourishing foods like mussel soup, steak salad, and homemade burgers, the author is taking small steps towards recovery, and sharing their recipes and experiences along the way.
Two steps forward, one step back...Today I have been extremely tired, despite a very good night's sleep the last few nights. It was so bad that I had ½ cup of espresso after lunch. That didn't help, so I took a nap with my youngest daughter in the afternoon. It's all about listening to your body and trying to understand what it's telling you. Listening and being responsive to your body's signals will take you far. Next week I hope to have time to describe what leaky gut is and how I know that this diet I am now eating will help me feel better. Happy weekend to all of you out there in the real world!
