@drheatherfinley posted to Instagram: I can't stand it when people are told the only solution for their bloat is to eliminate more foods... Unless you have an actual allergy or celiac, you don't have to be gluten, dairy, or soy-free or cut every food group you love forever in order to be bloat free. Elimination is NOT always the solution to your constipation and bloat - just ask my gutTogether client Laura. She was so scared to add foods back in to her diet after cutting them out.

While I don't prescribe specific foods to magically "heal the gut," (because 1 food will not make or break gut health) I do love to highlight the benefits of some of them - including bananas!
