More protein isn't always better. Protein is important for muscle, metabolism and healthy ageing — but if you've suddenly increased your protein intake and your digestion isn't keeping up, you may notice: • Bloating • Gas • Constipation • Heaviness after meals • Reflux or digestive discomfort The answer isn't necessarily to stop eating protein. The real question is: Can you comfortably digest and tolerate the amount you're eating? If increasing protein consistently makes your digestive symptoms worse, don't just keep pushing through it. Look at your digestion, not just your protein target. 💬 Comment “HELP” if you're struggling with digestive issues. @sonamfunctionalmed . . . . . . . . .. #functionalmedicine #protein #guthealth #gut
