How about random stomach pains that end up ruining your day and robbing you of your focus and energy? If so you need to realize that malabsoprtion is just one part of a vicious cycle that needs to be addressed right away. I'm about to share with you how malabsorption is contributing to your stomach pains and what you need to do start correcting it. If you fail to take action to correct this problem you are putting yourself at a great risk of nutritional deficiencies that will continue to get worse and might end up leaving you confined to the bedroom and bathroom.
In this article when I'm referring to stomach pains I'm generalizing all types of digestive problems including acid reflux, bloating, cramping, gas, constipation, diarrhea and anything else related to your gut. In this sense I'm lumping any digestive troubles as stomach pains because most people have a hard time telling where and what is causing digestive pains. I want to realize right now that no matter what I call these pains they are not normal and need to be fixed if you want to feel healthy, full of energy and give your best gifts to the world.
What Is Malabsorption?
To fix these problems first we need to understand them, the best explanation on the subject is a book called "Breaking The Vicious Cycle" written by Elaine Gottschall. For the purposes of this article I will give you an overview but if these problems resonate with you please go buy that book to get the full explanation. The vicious cycle I alluded to above is a cycle of digestive problems that together will continue to cause you stomach pain and deteriorate your life if not addressed. The cycle starts when an injury to your intestine takes place. Once the intestines are injured inflammation sets in causing poor digestion of foods. When foods are not properly digested they cannot be properly absorbed which is called malabsorption. The cycle continues when these unabsorbed foods feed bad bacteria that cause more injury to the intestines and then the whole cycle repeats itself.
In other words if your currently having stomach pains then you have at least some minor damage to your intestines. This damage will cause you to not be able to digest complex foods such as grains and starches. When your food is not properly digested you cannot absorb the needed vitamins and minerals needed to sustain high energy and fix your intestine injuries. This is malabsorption and if it is allowed to continue you will sooner or later develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies. These deficiencies are only going to cause you more pain and lower your energy levels further.
What To Do About Malabsorption
If you continue eating your current diet and don't take any of the steps I'm about to teach you the vitamin and mineral deficiencies will cause a ripple affect across your whole body. The body is very intelligent and will always make sure critical organs like the brain, heart and lungs get nutrients before other less critical organs like your stomach, muscles, and bones. Over time these less crtical organs slow down and stop operating at full efficiency causing adrenal fatigue, thyroid problems, chronic fatigue syndrome and immune suppression.
This makes the malabsorption part of the vicious cycle very important to fix to avoid these very serious problems. It's important to note that malabsorption is fixable and can be corrected fast if the proper steps are taken. To fix malabsorption the first step is to ensure that we are getting at least the recommended daily amount of vitamins and minerals, the easiest way to ensure this is take a daily multi-vitamin. The next step is to take proper steps to make sure the food you do eat is easily digestible by your damaged intestines. To do this make sure you chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly. The last step is to only eat foods that are easily digestible until your body can break the vicious cycle and heal itself.
