How Scleroderma Impacts Gut Health — And What You Can Do About It
Gut issues are incredibly common in scleroderma — but they also show up across many autoimmune diseases. In this episode, I’m diving deep into how scleroderma affects the gut, why gut motility and vagal tone matter so much, and what you can actually do to support digestion and resilience — whether or not you have a scleroderma diagnosis.
If you’re dealing with bloating, reflux, constipation, food sensitivities, SIBO, or nutrient deficiencies — this one is for you.
I’ll cover:
- How excess collagen and nervous system changes affect gut function
- Why so many people end up on PPIs — and what to do alongside them
- How to safely support motility and nutrient absorption
- My go-to foods and supplements for gut repair and resilience
- The critical role of vagal tone — and simple ways to improve it
- Practical steps to address stubborn constipation
Plus I’ll share how I use Nurosym for vagus nerve support (discount code VJ5 for 5% off here), and how our Gut Health Testing Package can help you get to the root of your gut symptoms. Learn more here.
And don’t miss our upcoming live Q&A on Foods to Eat for Autoimmune Disease inside The Autoimmune Forum — happening 18th June. Link in show notes.
Your gut can heal — and this episode will give you the tools to start.
