Gut-Healing Holiday Gummies (AIP, GAPS, GF, DF)
So Christmas has come and gone but I’m not ready to say goodbye to the festive colours, fun and treats just yet.
I’m not gonna lie, you guys. I wasn’t 100% successful at following my own guide to surviving the holidays! I did eat healthy in the lead up and I decided what my non-negotiable were but I still ended up with some very uncomfortable symptoms for a couple days after the big feast.
What did I do wrong?
Well, I had been AIP for 4 months before the holidays and I didn’t ease off of it the way I had intended. I dove right into AIP no-no’s like nightshade vegetables, butter, nuts and (of course!) chocolate. So my system really just wasn’t ready for everything I threw at it. I didn’t eat like crazy by any means but multiple reintros at once is never a good idea.
Did you stay healthy over the holidays?
Did you end up with tummy troubles like me? Headaches? Skin problems? Other inflammatory issues?
No matter what your symptoms are post-holiday indulgence, I have just the treat for you!
These Gut-Healing Holiday Gummies allow you to keep enjoying the treats of the holidays season WHILE helping your gut heal from the less healthful treats you enjoyed!
The best of both worlds, am I right?
