If your digestion feels different after changing your diet, start by looking at the basics before making any big changes.
How to Fix It
Start with a few simple things:
Drink enough water: Hydration plays a big role in digestion.
Keep some whole-food carbs in your meals: Include foods like fruit, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and vegetables as part of a balanced meal.
Stay active: Walking and regular movement can support digestion.
Check your food tolerance: If certain foods, especially dairy, regularly leave you bloated or uncomfortable, pay attention to how your body responds.
Keep meals simple: Stick mostly to minimally processed foods and avoid constantly changing your diet.
What Is Not the Issue?
Protein itself is not necessarily the problem. Keep protein as the base of your meals and look at the rest of your diet first.
You do not need to immediately cut out food. Check hydration, movement, and overall food balance before making big changes.
You do not need to rely on laxatives or gut-health supplements. Start with the basics and give your body time to adjust.
