Planning meal times ahead

If you have chronic gut issues, trust me, it’s definitely ok to plan ahead. Planning is part of life for everyone, ie: education, marriage, navigating kid activities, vacationing. So why make it a problem when it relates to your nutrition and gut health? It’s definitely ok to review the menu, plan ahead what you are going to eat that is safe, advocate for yourself during your dining experience including knowing your limits and triggers and when you are going to stop eating. You don’t have to feel any shame to speak up for your specific needs so that you can show up as your best self. You deserve to bring back joy into your social life and the whole dining out experience.
