Agut reset? Really? Doesn’t it just sound like a new fad? Why would a coeliac say yes to a diet that requires cutting out even more food? The answer is simple: despite rigidly following a gluten-free diet, I get regular tummy pains and can’t wear a pair of jeans for more than an hour without feeling like someone’s twisting my insides. That said, I feel so bombarded by media experts I don’t know where to begin. What’s causing the pain? Could it be fruit? Is it onions? Perhaps I need colonic irrigation?
So I was curious to try a new 7-day gut reset, courtesy of nutritional therapist Anna Mapson of Goodness Me Nutrition. It promises ‘a new way of eating which will reduce inlammation and lessen irritation to the gut’. And it doesn’t seem to involve anything too hard. I mean, it’s only a week, right?
