The Gut Repair Protocol (Non-Antibiotic Version)
A structured, physiology-based system to reduce bloating, improve digestion, and restore gut function.
How to Use This Protocol
This guide is designed to be followed in order.
Gut repair works in phases:
Stabilize → Support → Rebuild → Reinforce
Each phase builds on the previous one.
If symptoms increase, return to the previous phase for 3–5 days before progressing.
What This Protocol Focuses On
Gut repair is not about adding more supplements.
It is about restoring coordination across four systems:
Digestion
Motility
Microbiome
Gut lining
When these are aligned, symptoms tend to improve without force.
SIGNS + BASELINE
Common Signs of Gut Imbalance
Bloating within 30–90 minutes after eating
Gas or abdominal pressure
Brain fog after meals
Irregular stool (less than 1x/day or more than 3x/day)
Food sensitivities
Fatigue after eating
Skin reactivity
Baseline Targets Before Progressing
Before moving past Phase 1, aim for:
Bowel movements: 1x daily, formed, easy to pass
Bloating: reduced or predictable
Energy: stable between meals
If these are not present, stay in Phase 1 longer.
PHASE 1: STABILIZE (DAYS 1–7)
Goal: Reduce digestive stress + create rhythm
Meal Timing Structure
Eat 2–3 meals per day, spaced 4–5 hours apart.
Avoid grazing.
This allows:
full digestive cycles
improved motility (migrating motor complex)
