IMPORTANT TIPS FOR OPTIMAL GI HEALTH DURING YOUR TIME ON A LOW-FODMAP DIET: ■ Liver from pastured animals one to two times weekly will help to replenish your vitamin B12, iron, and other nutrients you may be deficient in due to dysbiosis. ■ Homemade bone broths can be very healing for the GI tract. ■ Meats are most easily digested when prepared at low cooking temperatures, using moist cooking techniques. Consider using a slow-cooker, stewing, braising or poaching for at least 30 days. ■ Vegetables should be well-cooked with any seeds removed to improve digestibility; minimize your intake of raw, fibrous fruits and vegetables. For more information on this, see: http:// chriskresser.com/got-digestive-problems-take-it-easy-on-the-veggies ■ Be very careful when eating out, and consider calling ahead to ask about preparation methods and ingredients to find an option that works for you.
