We talk a lot about foods that support gut health, but it’s just as important to understand which foods may be working against it. Not because they’re inherently bad, but because certain food categories are more likely to trigger inflammation, irritation, or microbial imbalance when digestion is sensitive.
This article breaks down what actually makes a food problematic for the gut, from inflammatory and ultra-processed foods to high-FODMAP, high-histamine, and acid-provoking ingredients. It also explains why reactions are often driven by digestion, gut barrier function, or microbial balance rather than the food itself.
