Bloating and Heartburn Is Not Normal!

Jun 22, 2022

How Does Your Stomach Feel After You Eat?
Are you prone to stomach aches, bloating and heartburn?  If any of these questions seem familiar to you, or you’ve experienced them on some level, then you probably have some digestion issues. If you’ve been wondering if you need to speak to a professional about your digestive health, then you might want to see if you come across any signs that you need to improve your digestion in the following article.

Your Breath Smells
When most people notice that someone has bad breath, their first reaction might be to pull back and avoid the subject, but telling someone that they have bad breath could be life changing for them because bad breath is soften a sign of much more important issues. Many people who have bad breath simply have digestive problems that they haven’t become aware of yet. Paying close attention to when your breath smells can also give you an indication of what’s triggering it specifically.

You’re Tired After Meals
Do you feel energized and lively after meals, or tired and lethargic? How you feel after a dinner can say a lot about the state of your digestive health. Sometimes it can be as simple a needing to have more fiber in your diet, but one major issue that people have is constipation. This build up of waste can prevent your body from absorbing the vital nutrients that you need to stay healthy. This could also become more serious when you’re not able go to the bathroom on a regular basis and toxins build up inside your body. Normally, one way they get excreted is through the stool.

Adult Skin Issues
So, a pimple suddenly rises on your cheek. Then a few days later another, and another. Is this just adult acne? Well, it’s possible, but it’s a fairly common thing for people with digestive problems to have skin issues. Many skin issues begin in the gut, due to an imbalance of bad bacteria. If you get enough good bacteria to fight the bad, then your skin might naturally clear up.

Think of me as a health detective and wellness coach working in partnership with you to restore your health. We work together to uncover the contributing factors to your chronic symptoms, to eat well, sleep well, move more and stress less.

I love the GI MAP test because it helps my clients and I discover gut dysfunction that may be contributing to daily digestive issues as well as other chronic symptoms like anxiety, fatigue and brain fog.

What Clients Are Saying

Carla really helped me to figure out my gut pain and issues after so many years. I finally feel like I have energy and clarity around my health! She was so easy to talk to and helped me discover problem areas that were causing me so much distress, when no other doctors could help.
VICTORIA

Well Humans changed my life. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis accompanied by chronic hives. It sprang up out of nowhere and caused bizarre “food allergies” that I’d never had before. Because of Carla’s coaching and dietary recommendations as well as GI Map testing, I can happily say that I am now symptom-free, and I have been in remission for over a year now. All of the doctors I saw told me I would have to deal with my symptoms because there was no cure, but here I am, back to living a mostly normal life. I highly recommend Carla and Well Humans for anyone looking for real answers and treatments that work.
KALYN

When working with Carla, you are in capable, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring hands. Carla truly cares about your well being and wants to help you be the healthiest that you can be. My health was truly suffering and with her guidance and suggested testing, we uncovered some issues that nobody else had uncovered, despite my going to some of the top rated medical institutions. My health and pain improved greatly due to Carla’s sleuthing…she knew where to look. Through many health challenges, I was quite emotional and Carla showed me what compassion looks like. If you want to truly improve your health, start with Well Humans.
BETH

Over years, I’ve tried various “alternative” medicine as well as conventional “western” medicine approaches. Skin ailments are hard to treat – so many aspects of a life can produce skin symptoms. I enthusiastically recommend Well Humans and Carla for a simple reason – I’ve experienced sustained, substantial improvement! I have hardly ever posted a review of anything, but writing this was an easy choice to make. I wish you all the best in your journey towards better health!
JON

I searched the U.S. to find someone who does what Carla does. Carla has used her knowledge, support and expertise to optimize my health and well-being with a blend of scientific medical tests, supplements and diet changes. I wasted a lot of time on my hunches, the internet and experiments with supplements and food and NOW i have an actual plan. Superb supportive knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Carla. Grateful.

I never knew that I had a gluten allergy and intolerance until Carla discovered it in my blood work! I’m so grateful that she made this discovery and I have been gluten free ever since. I sleep better, don’t feel bloated and have much more energy. It was a life-changing insight.
