Gut insights
The gut plays an incredibly important part in how we live our lives. It is where the majority of our neuro-transmitters are made. A disruption in the biochemistry of the gut can lead to many 'symptoms' such as anxiety, neuro-diverse indicators, hyperactivity, anger, difficulty in retaining information etc. A well-balanced diet is necessary but equally we are all different and some naturally 'good foods' can cause disruption in certain people.
Apart from the foods that we eat, the other factors that can create ADHD/Autistic symptoms tend to be:
​
-
Difficulty digesting gluten and casein
-
Poor overall digestion leading to nutrient deficiencies
-
A lower ability of the body to get rid of certain toxins
-
Some foods which can be toxic to certain people
-
Low levels of certain enzymes
-
High levels of oxalates
-
Low iron and zinc levels
-
Methylation issues
We need to look after our Microbiome.
