How She Ended 20 Years of Stomach aches, Bloating, and Fatigue in 6 Weeks
What if the foods you thought were helping you… were actually hurting you?
That was Sarah’s story.
She did everything right. She gave up gluten. Took digestive enzymes. Tried low histamine diets. Even swore off sugar and alcohol.
Yet she still had bloating after eating. A stomach ache every single day. Fatigue. Psoriasis. GERD. Lymphocytic colitis. Food reactions that made no sense. Doctors kept handing her diagnoses, but no real solutions.
Sound familiar?
If you're stuck in the cycle of bloating, mystery stomach aches, and exhausting food sensitivity rabbit holes — this blog is for you.
I’m breaking down exactly how Sarah healed bloating, stomach pain, and food sensitivities after 20 YEARS of suffering… and what your doctor is probably missing.
The Real Reason Your Stomach Hurts (Even If You Eat "Clean")
Sarah's story isn't rare.
Most of my clients come to me after spending 5, 10, or even 20+ years trying to get to the bottom of their symptoms.
They’ve:
- Cut out dairy, gluten, sugar, corn, soy
- Spent thousands on food sensitivity tests
- Tried every gut health diet out there
But they’re still stuck with:
- Bloating after eating anything
- Stomach ache pain that comes and goes
- Random reactions to foods they used to tolerate
- Bloating from period hormones or stress
It’s not in your head.
It’s not “just IBS.”
It’s not solved with peppermint tea and low FODMAP.
The real issue? Your gut has been damaged by hidden root causes. Things like:
- Histamine intolerance
- Food sensitivities that no one’s tested you for
- Copper toxicity or mold exposure
- Gut pathogens missed by conventional stool tests
If your gut is inflamed, confused, or overwhelmed — even the “cleanest” foods can cause bloating and stomach aches.
Why Most Gut Health Diets Don’t Work Long-Term
Let’s talk about the low histamine diet.
Sarah tried it. She thought histamine high foods were her problem.
And to be fair, she wasn’t wrong. Her symptoms flared with ovulation and menstruation — classic signs of histamine intolerance.
But cutting histamine foods didn’t fix the problem.
She was still bloated. Still exhausted. Still reacting to meals that should’ve been "safe."
Why?
Because removing foods doesn’t fix the reason your gut is reacting in the first place.
Low histamine diets can give temporary relief.
But they don’t:
- Heal the root cause of histamine intolerance
- Rebuild your gut lining
- Remove pathogens
- Detox copper or mold
That’s why I tell my clients: don’t marry your elimination diet.
We use diet strategically. Not forever.
Sarah didn’t need a more restrictive diet. She needed answers.
The Truth About Food Sensitivity Testing (And Why You’re Probably Doing It Wrong)
Sarah had done multiple food sensitivity tests.
The MRT. Viome. At-home kits. You name it.
And guess what? Not a single one told her she was sensitive to the foods causing her daily stomach aches:
- Rice
- Corn
- Potatoes
- Dairy
The foods she thought were safe. Even healthy.
But once she ran the right kind of food sensitivity test — the Zoomer — everything changed.
This test showed the actual proteins her immune system was reacting to. Not just whole foods. Not just inflammation markers. But the specific protein peptides that triggered her immune system.
This is the difference between wasting $300 on a test… and getting your life back.
After seeing her Zoomer results, Sarah cut out the foods her immune system flagged.
Within days:
- Her stomach aches stopped
- Her appetite returned
- Her energy skyrocketed
- Her skin glowed
- Her face looked younger
She told her trainer: “I’ve never felt this good during a workout.”
No more bloating.
No more stomach pain after eating.
Just results.
Why Rice, Corn, and Potatoes Might Be Hurting You
You’ve probably heard it before:
“Rice is gentle.”
“Potatoes are safe.”
“Corn is gluten-free.”
Sure. But not for everyone.
Sarah was eating baked chicken with rice and veggies — a meal she thought was healthy. Instead? It gave her bloating and stomach pain.
Because rice was one of her biggest triggers.
These foods are rising culprits in food sensitivities — especially in women with histamine intolerance, gut dysbiosis, or autoimmune disease.
But you won’t figure that out by guessing. Or Googling. Or cutting one food at a time.
That’s why Sarah said:
“There would've been no way for me to figure this out on my own. It’s a big lifestyle change. But with one test, I had answers.”
The Gut-Skin Connection No One Talks About
Sarah didn’t just have digestive symptoms.
She had psoriasis. Psoriatic arthritis. Headaches. Loss of smell. Fatigue. She even said:
“I’ve had a stomach ache every day for 20 years. I was never hungry.”
Let that sink in.
She lived for two decades with daily pain, no appetite, and zero answers.
Doctors offered Miralax.
Digestive enzymes.
More diagnoses.
But never the why.
Once she started her Better Belly Blueprint protocols — everything shifted.
She got her GI Map back.
She followed the Nutrient Protocol.
She added Gut Health Supplements we personally curated.
Within six weeks?
- Hunger returned
- Energy improved
- Stomach aches stopped
- Skin started glowing
She even looked younger.
This is the power of addressing root causes.
What About the Histamine Problem?
Sarah’s practitioner suspected histamine intolerance.
And she was right.
But instead of just focusing on diet, she referred Sarah to the Better Belly Blueprint.
Why? Because we don’t just manage histamine — we heal it.
We:
- Identify root causes (like mold, copper, or nutrient deficiencies)
- Test for gut pathogens driving inflammation
- Support detox and liver health
- Restore the gut lining
Sarah got this support in our protocols:
- Liver Protocol
- Nutrient Protocol
- Parasite Protocol
She didn’t need to cut more foods.
She needed to heal.
And now? Even when she accidentally eats dairy while traveling, she knows exactly what caused her symptoms — and how to recover.
You Don’t Need 20 Years to Heal. You Need the Right Strategy.
Here’s the truth:
Sarah didn’t get better because she “tried harder.”
She got better because she got answers.
No more guessing.
No more chasing symptoms.
No more restrictive diets that fix nothing.
She found the Better Belly Blueprint, and in just six weeks of focused support — she changed her entire trajectory.
Now she says:
“I feel hope for the first time.”
That’s what I want for you.
If you’ve been told:
- “Your labs look normal.”
- “It’s just stress.”
- “You’ll have to manage this forever.”
Please hear me: you are not crazy, and you are not stuck.
There is another way.
The First Step? Stop Guessing. Start Testing.
If you:
- Bloat after every meal
- Have stomach aches that come and go
- React to foods for no reason
- Suspect histamine intolerance or food sensitivities
…you need to stop guessing.
Start testing.
Not all tests are created equal. The Zoomer food sensitivity test showed Sarah what no other test had caught.
And our functional lab bundles go even further:
- Gut pathogen testing (GI Map)
- Nutrient deficiencies (HTMA)
- Mold + toxin load (Mycotox panel)
- Food sensitivities (Zoomer)
Plus step-by-step protocols to heal your gut, reduce histamine, and finally feel normal again.
