Is It the Food… or Your Gut Asking for Help?”

Many people believe that certain foods are the reason they feel bloated, gassy, or suddenly uncomfortable after eating.
But here’s a perspective most people don’t talk about.

From experience and basic nutrition science, excess gas is often not about the food itself, it’s about what the body hasn’t released yet.

When a person hasn’t passed stool for days, waste products stay longer than they should in the large intestine. Over time, this trapped waste begins to ferment, producing gas. That discomfort you feel?
It’s your gut saying: “I need to be emptied.”

So no, it’s not always that fruits, vegetables, or certain meals are “making you fat” or “causing gas.”
More often, it’s constipation, poor hydration, low fiber intake, or irregular eating patterns.

The large intestine’s job is simple:

✅Absorb water

✅Store waste

✅Release waste regularly

When that process is delayed, the body sends signals as bloating, gas, discomfort to demand attention.

This is why:

✅Eating fiber-rich foods helps bowel movement

✅Drinking enough water supports stool softness

✅Regular meals train the gut

✅Movement (even walking) stimulates digestion

Gas is not the enemy.
It’s communication.

Instead of blaming food, ask better questions:

🙋‍♀️🙋Am I eating enough fiber?

🙋🙋‍♀️Am I drinking water?

🙋‍♀️🙋Am I ignoring my body’s urge to go?

Healthy digestion is not about avoiding food,it’s about supporting the gut.

Listen to your body.
It’s always talking.

Let me be honest with you…
If you’re someone who eats anything you see outside or around that is exposed to the atmosphere without covering, and the next thing you notice is that you’re stooling nonstop for hours
I’m sorry, but you didn’t “catch” anybody.
Your stomach just caught your lifestyle.
Especially this dusty period, the atmosphere is filled with bacteria and so on.

Most times, the problem is not spiritual or mysterious.
It’s simply what you ate, how it was prepared, and how exposed the food was before it entered your mouth.

We don’t talk about this enough:
When food sits outside, uncovered, dirty, or exposed to the atmosphere, microorganisms multiply on it.
And once you eat that contaminated food?
Your stomach will respond immediately.
Sometimes with stomach pain… sometimes with running stomach… sometimes with vomiting.

That’s why hygiene is not a “nice-to-have”,it’s a survival skill.

Before you eat anything outside this season:
– Look at the food well.
– Ask how long it has been sitting out.
– Wash fruits with salt thoroughly before you bite.
– Avoid foods that look too exposed or too handled.
– And when in doubt… walk away.

It’s a season of love, enjoyment, and plenty hangouts but don’t let excitement make you forget the basics of food safety.

Love yourself enough to protect your stomach.
Your body deserves care, not crisis.

Let me share something that happened the other evening.

I was eating my dinner around 7–8pm honestly, I was tired, I didn’t have the strength to start cooking anything serious, so I settled for some Pawpaw fruit I had. Nothing heavy, just something to keep me going.

Then my friend walked in and said,
“Judith, you’re eating this by 7pm? You want to burn the fat you’ve gained?”

I just stared at her, shocked.

Since when did vitamins and minerals become enemy of weight goals?
Since when did people start believing that eating late automatically burns fat or adds fat?

Let me be real with you:
Food isn’t your enemy. Timing isn’t your enemy. Ignorance is the real enemy.

Those foods she called “fat-burners” are actually nutrient-dense meals that help your body do its basic daily functions: immunity, digestion, metabolism, hormone balance, energy levels.

If you're trying to gain weight, should you avoid food like this?
Absolutely not.

If you're trying to lose weight, should you avoid it?
Still no.

Because here’s the truth I told her:

You can’t live on carbohydrates alone.
You can’t live on protein alone.
You can’t live on vitamins and minerals alone.

Every nutrient works hand-in-hand with the others. The body is not a separate container where carbs stay on one side and vitamins stay on another. They all work together like a team to keep you alive, strong, and healthy.

Skipping your fruits and vegetables because “they burn fat” is how people get sick.
Skipping carbs because “they cause weight gain” is how people lose energy.

There’s no nutrient you should neglect.
Not for weight loss.
Not for weight gain.
Not for any reason.

Food is meant to nourish, not punish.
Eat intentionally. Eat with understanding. Eat what supports your goals but don’t demonize any nutrient.

And if all you can manage by 7pm is your Pawpaw fruit?
Eat it proudly. Your body needs it.

Aidan fruit may look simple, but don’t be deceived, it is powerful.
The goal isn’t to use it in every meal, but to use it when your body needs warmth, healing, digestion support, and nourishment.

The next time you're making pepper soup…
Or you're feeling under the weather…
Or you need something to help your digestion…

Reach for Aidan fruit.
Let nature support you the way it has supported our mothers and grandmothers for generations.
