How I Survived Stomach Issues

This book was produced by someone with similar issues to yours. How I Survived Stomach Issues is a practical, reader‑friendly guide for anyone navigating digestive discomfort, food sensitivities, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Drawing from lived experience and careful research, this book explores the everyday triggers that can upset the stomach, from lactose intolerance and sugar to stress, sleep, and even cookware choices.

Organized into five clear chapters, it covers:

1. Dietary Triggers: Common culprits like dairy, beer, high‑fat foods, and additives.

2. Lifestyle Factors: The impact of sleep, stress, hydration, and exercise on digestion.

3. Cooking & Preparation: Safe methods, mindful seasoning, and kitchen strategies for stomach‑friendly meals.

4. Self‑Management: Tools like journaling, symptom tracking, prayer, and knowing when to seek medical help.

5. Other Possible Factors: Fast food, gluten sensitivity, hormonal changes, toxins, and the gut microbiome.

The book concludes with "20 IBS‑friendly, lactose‑free recipes" designed to bring comfort back to the table, along with practical reflections to help readers personalize their journey.

This is not a medical manual or a "fix‑all" solution—it's a supportive resource that blends practical advice, personal insight, and faith‑based encouragement. The goal is simple: to help you better understand your body, reduce discomfort, and build a lifestyle of balance, confidence, and long‑term digestive health.
