Key Steps to Managing a Sensitive Stomach, Gluten Intolerances and Gut Issues
<p>In this episode I talk about one of the most common conversations I have with clients: gut issues. A recent client chat about IBS symptoms got me thinking about why gluten wasn't on my list of first things to look at, even though it's one of the most heavily marketed "fixes" out there. I cover how common GI distress really is, where the gluten free trend came from, and what a fascinating 2025 study found when people who believed they were sensitive to gluten were put to the test.</p><p>I also take you through the tiering system I use with my clients, so you can work through the changes most likely to make a difference, in order. If you've struggled with bloating, reflux or a sensitive stomach and felt unsure where to start, this one should give you a clear, evidence based place to begin.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapters:</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>00:00</strong> Introduction and why I'm covering gluten and gut issues<br><strong>02:49 T</strong>he rise of gluten free, coeliac disease and FODMAPs<br><strong>05:06 </strong>The 2025 study putting gluten sensitivity to the test<br><strong>07:22 </strong>What's really behind GI issues, plus tier one of my system<br><strong>09:44 </strong>Tiers two and three: practical diet and lifestyle changes<br><strong>14:27</strong> The low FODMAP diet and how it should be used</p><p><br></p><p>If this has been useful, check out my website for information about online personal training. <a href="https://www.andyvincentpt.com/work-with-me" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Andyvincentpt.com</strong></a></p>
