A Little Extra Help

So I am still kind of struggling to figure out exactly what my body wants to be completely happy. I still often have an upset stomach even if I haven't eaten gluten or dairy. To help with this I take probiotics and cod liver oil every day


Probiotics can help with lots things.
-gastrointestinal (Crohn's, IBS, constipation, diarrhea) problems 
-help prevent vaginal and urinary infections in women
-reduces many negative side effects of antibiotics
-I find it to be pretty helpful when my tummy starts a-grumblin' because it increases the ability to digest food.

Cod liver oil is pretty cool too. 
-if taken during pregnancy, it helps with the coordination of the child!
-can help with acne
-beneficial for eyesight
-and way  more! there are long lists of all the benefits of this nifty fella.
-I use it because it has anti-inflammatory properties and helps my intestines to calm down as I probably have
  Leaky Gut Syndrome. (When your intestines are inflamed so toxins leak out into your body, it's not fun)

I find that these two supplements drastically increase my tummy's happiness!
