Beat the Bloat at BBQs: Enjoy Summer Food Without Regret

Nothing says summer like BBQs, beach snacks, and ice-cold drinks — but if every gathering leaves you bloated, gassy, or sluggish, it’s time to support your gut a little differently.

You don’t need to skip the burgers, chips, or s’mores. You just need a game plan that gives your digestion the support it needs — so you can feel good and enjoy the moment.

Here’s how to enjoy summer food without paying for it later.

Why BBQs Can Wreck Your Digestion

Social eating often means:

• Large portions eaten quickly
• Fried and processed foods (hello, chips, hot dogs, dips)
• Sugar-heavy desserts and drinks
• Alcohol and carbonation
• Grazing for hours instead of eating full meals

For your gut, that means a lot of work. If your digestion is already sensitive, these habits can trigger:

• Immediate bloating or gas
• Constipation or urgency the next day
• Reflux or discomfort while trying to sleep
• Cramping or sluggishness

The key? Support your digestion before, during, and after indulgent meals — especially in the summer heat.

3 Key Supplements to Support Digestion at Summer Events

Let’s talk strategy. These three products are your BBQ-season besties:

💊 One: The Digester

When to take: 10–15 minutes before your meal

Why: This supplement mimics your body’s natural enzymes and stomach acid to help you break down food more effectively — especially proteins, carbs, and fats. It’s perfect for big meals, BBQs, and when you’re eating foods you don’t usually tolerate well.

Pro tip: Pack it in your purse or beach bag. One capsule before you eat = less bloat after.

💊 Two: The Miracle Worker

When to take: At night, post-event

Why: This magnesium-based supplement helps support motility and calm your nervous system. It promotes regularity without urgency, making it ideal if you tend to get backed up after eating heavier foods or traveling.

Bonus: It also helps your body wind down for better sleep after a stimulating day.

💊 Three: Gut Soother (Chocolate or Vanilla)

When to take: The morning after (or daily for prevention)

Why: Packed with L-glutamine, Gut Soother helps repair the gut lining, reduce inflammation, and calm the digestive system. If you wake up puffy, gassy, or off after a BBQ, this is the perfect way to reset.

Blend it into a smoothie or shake it up with almond milk for a soothing, healing start to your day.

Recovery Day Game Plan

If you do end up bloated, backed up, or uncomfortable the next day, here’s how to bounce back:

• Start your morning with warm lemon water
• Take Gut Soother to calm and repair
• Eat light, hydrating meals with fiber-rich veggies
• Use The Miracle Worker if needed to support elimination
• Skip intense exercise and focus on walking + movement

Don’t Let Bloating Steal Your Summer

A little support goes a long way — and with the right supplements, you can enjoy all the fun of summer food without sacrificing how you feel in your body.
