What’s the fastest way to heal my Gastroparesis?
All of these are pretty usual questions or starts to questions that I get when people come to me asking for help with Gastroparesis.
They see how I am now and think I got this way overnight. Well, I didn’t develop Gastroparesis overnight and I can promise you that I didn’t fix it overnight either.
It took me years, A LOT of trial and error and commitment to getting better to feel the way I do now. So, that’s why I started Real Peel. To help you improve your Gastroparesis MUCH faster than I did, but it still won’t be fast.
YOU NEED TO BE COMMITTED, EVEN WHEN YOU DON’T WANT TO.
So, here are a few things I did pretty much every single day for an entire year that helped me fast track my healing journey.
Warm Lemon Water. Yes, I talk about this in literally everything I have, but there is a reason why. It is so incredibly helpful for your digestive system. It takes some time for your body to adjust to it, especially if you have reflux issues. I started with just a slice of lemon in a coffee cup size of warm water, and now I use a half lemon daily and then I transfer that lemon to my water I drink all day, Why is it so important?
helps combat dehydration
stimulates the digestive system
provides you with vitamin C
aids in digestion
helps prevent kidney stones (I get these too, sadly)
provides a potassium boost
and plenty of more benefits I didn’t list
Morning Walks. Every single day. y’all. I would start my morning with lemon water and then go for a 20 minute walk. Walking before you eat anything actually helps stimulate your digestive system, burns fast and helps your metabolism. These days, my day starts a little differently since I have a baby, but I do this general order still.
Smoothies & Juices. Yes, there was a time that I was only consuming smoothies and juices all day long. That didn’t last a year, though. However, I did continue consuming a smoothie and a juice every single day for a year. This helped me combat my malnutrition and help me get in vital nutrients that I hadn’t been getting due to not eating previously.
Have I talked about all of these things before? Yes.
So, why am I talking about them here, again? Well, sometimes, it makes more sense to break things down into easier to digest pieces….pun intended.
Sometimes, when you are trying to figure out where to start with this stupid condition, it’s overwhelming to try to fix diet, lifestyle, mindset, etc. all while still feeling like crap and not having enough brain power to put together a plan.
So, if you can do just 3 things every single day that do not take much effort, it’s much easier to keep going on this journey.
