Whether you’re a bodybuilder experiencing GI issues due to stress and oral steroids or, like me, you have a chronic GI illness, many people experience bloating issues.

Here’s my go to anti bloat protocol and why I use each item.

Morning Drink:

16oz water

1 shot glass apple cider vinegar 

1 shot glass lemon juice

1 scoop colostrum

1 scoop greens powder

Apple Cider Vinegar

• Improves digestion by increasing stomach acid

• Helps balance gut bacteria

• May reduce gas and bloating

Lemon Juice

• Stimulates digestion and bile production

• Acts as a natural diuretic to reduce water retention

• Helps alkalize the body and reduce bloating

Colostrum

• Supports gut lining health

• Promotes beneficial gut bacteria growth

• May reduce inflammation and bloating

Greens Powder

• Rich in fiber to support digestion

• Contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds

• Helps detoxify and reduce bloating

Peptides:

500mcg Oral BPC

500mcg Oral KPV

If peak week or during Crohn’s Flare:

1,000mcg Oral BPC

1,000mcg Oral KPV

Oral BPC (Body Protection Compound)

• Gut Lining Repair: Promotes rapid healing of the gut lining, which supports digestive health and helps prevent issues that can cause bloating, such as leaky gut and ulcers.

• Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Reduces inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, which can alleviate bloating and discomfort, especially in conditions like IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).

• Improved Motility: Normalizes gut motility, helping to relieve constipation and support regular bowel movements, both of which can reduce bloating.

• Microbiome Balance: Supports the balance of gut bacteria, which is essential for healthy digestion and minimizing gas and bloating.

• Pain Relief: May reduce abdominal pain and cramping associated with bloating.

Oral KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine Peptide)

  Reduces Gut Inflammation: Calms inflammatory markers in the digestive tract, which is often a root cause of bloating, especially in IBS and IBD (inflammatory bowel disease).

• Accelerates Mucosal Healing: Promotes the repair of the gut lining, improving barrier function and reducing symptoms like bloating and abdominal discomfort.

• Improves Digestive Function: By soothing the gut lining and supporting nutrient absorption, KPV can help normalize digestion and minimize bloating.
