In this short video, Lucas Wilhelm Hedenbäck explains that even the healthiest foods can cause bloating if the gut is damaged and unable to digest and absorb nutrients properly. He argues that a compromised gut leads to inflammation, and consuming cold or raw items such as smoothies, salads, and protein shakes can worsen the condition. He recommends focusing on warm, cooked, easy-to-digest meals when the gut is stressed, and invites viewers to comment "gut" to receive a detailed guide on fixing gut health.

You can eat the healthiest food in the world and still feel bloated. Here's why. If your gut is damaged, your body can't properly digest and absorb food. So even things like grass-fed meat, organic vegetables, and clean diets can all cause bloating because digestion isn't working properly. And if you're eating cold smoothies, raw salads, and protein shakes while your gut is already inflamed, you're making it even worse. When your gut is struggling, it needs warm foods, cooked meals, and easy digestion, not more stress on top of already existing stress. Comment gut and I'll send you a full in-depth breakdown on exactly how to fix your gut health for good.
