today's video is in partnership with sodii did
you know that one in four people is carbohydrate intolerant if you're battling with bloating
fatigue or mysterious digestive troubles today's video might be an eye opener this is a condition
that's often misunderstood and often confused with gluten intolerance so keep watching because in
today's video we're going to be discussing 10 warning signs that you are carbohydrate intolerant
what this means for your health and what you can do if you experience these symptoms carbohydrate
intolerance occurs when your body struggles to properly digest certain carbohydrates due to
insufficient levels of digestive enzymes like amales or lactose Amala specifically is
responsible for breaking down starch into sugar but how much Amala your body produces
largely comes down to genetics Studies have shown that individuals with ancestral diets rich
in carbohydrates like rice or wheat tend to have higher levels of Amala production in contrast
those whose ancestors relied on more protein heavy diets often produce less Amalise this
genetic Factor plays a key role in how your body processes carbohydrates making it more or
less efficient in digestion if you have a lower production of amalay this means the carbohydrates
stay in your digestive tract for longer undigested leading to symptoms like bloating gas and
abdominal discomfort and this explains why some people feel better when they eat carbohydrate
rich foods and other people feel more sluggish to make things more complicated 's production can
also be affected by factors like stress age and overall gut health and this is why recognizing
the signs of carbohydrate intolerance can help you to optimize your diet to your personal needs
so let's get into the 10 warning signs the first one is bloating if you feel bloated after a carb
heavy meal this might be your body's way of saying I can't digest this properly this often happens
when undigested carbs ferment in your gut causing pressure and discomfort number two abdominal pain
cramping pain in the lower abdomen or around the belly button is another red flag pay attention to
what foods you're eating when this pain occurs if it's food that's rich in starch carbon tolerance
could be the reason why number three excessive gas again this is often caused by undigested carbs
fermenting in the gut number four diarrhea if carbs pass through your system too quickly this
can lead to loose stools frequent diarrhea can also disrupt your gut Flora making digestion
even harder over time and that's a cycle you don't want to get caught in number five nausea
do you feel queasy after a meal that's rich in bread or pasta your body might be overwhelmed by
undigested carbs number six fatigue carbohydrates are meant to be an energy source but if your
body isn't digesting them efficiently or it's not digesting them quick enough then you're not
getting this energy leaving you feeling drained number seven poor digestion frequent indigestion
after meals can indicate at Carbon tolerance and this is concerning because over time it can also
lead to nutrient malabsorption compounding other health issues number eight heartburn acid reflux
isn't just about spicy food carbs can trigger it if they're not digested properly foods like bread
and pasta can trigger reflux as undigested carbs create pressure in the stomach number nine
hormonal imbalances particularly with women carbon tolerance can indirectly affect hormones
disrupting insulin regulation and other metabolic processes for women this can even worsen
symptoms of PCOS or contribute to weight gain and this kind of goes hand inand with number
10 which is an irregular menstrual cycle carbon tolerance might contribute to this because of
its impact on hormonal Health by stressing the indoctrinated okay so if you had these symptoms
or if you already knew you're carbohydrate intolerant what can you do so because carbohydrate
intolerance is caused from a lack of the digestive enzymes needed to break down starch the first
thing you can do is reduce carbohydrates and if you want to get even more specific starch in your
diet start by reducing your intake of high carb foods like bread and pasta replace these carbs
with healthy fats instead and make sure you have a good quality protein Source at the center of
every meal a lack of the enzyme responsible for breaking down starch isn't an issue if you're
not consuming it or if you're not consuming a lot of it now when you first switch to a low carb
diet one of the first things you might notice is that you shed a lot of water weight this happens
