If you experience frequent digestive discomfort such as swelling, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, constipation or intolerance to certain foods, it is recommended to go to a nutritionist. A professional can help you identify which foods may be affecting your digestive system and design a feeding plan adapted to your needs. It is also essential if you have been diagnosed with a digestive pathology such as celiac, SIBO or food allergies, as you will need to adjust your diet properly. In Vivea we analyze your case in depth for brindarte nutritional strategies that help you relieve symptoms and improve your digestive well-being.

Food intolerances and food allergies are not the same, although they can generate digestive symptoms. A food allergy involves a reaction of the immune system to a specific food, which can cause serious symptoms such as difficulty breathing or anaphylactic shock. On the other hand, an intolerance occurs when the digestive system cannot process a food properly, generating symptoms such as swelling, gas or diarrhoea. A common example is lactose intolerance, caused by the lack of the lactase enzyme. It is essential to obtain a precise diagnosis to know how to handle each condition. At Vivea we help you identify and adapt your food to avoid discomfort and ensure balanced nutrition.

Yes, stress directly influences digestive health. The digestive system and the nervous system are connected through the intestine-brain axis, which means that stress can alter intestinal motility, cause inflammation and modify the intestinal microbial. Many people experience symptoms such as diarrhoea, constipation, swelling, or abdominal pain when they are under stress. In addition, chronic stress may worsen conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome or gastroesophageal reflux. To improve your digestive health, it is important to combine adequate feeding with stress management strategies such as meditation, exercise or conscious breathing. In Vivea we not only design nutritional plans, but we also guide you on life habits that can improve your digestive well-being.

It is not recommended to remove food without a precise diagnosis. Many people eliminate food groups based on symptoms without really knowing the cause of the problem. This may lead to nutritional deficiencies or even worsening symptoms. For example, eliminating gluten without being celiac may make it difficult to correct diagnosis. Before making drastic changes in your diet, it is important to go to a health professional who can guide you and do necessary tests. In Vivea we analyze your case to identify the cause of your discomfort and offer you an adequate nutritional solution without endangering your health.

If you have celiac, you must completely avoid any food containing gluten, a protein present in wheat, barley, rye and derivatives such as spelt or kamut. This includes products such as bread, pasta, breads, beer and many processed foods that may contain traces of gluten. It is also essential to read product labels, as gluten may be present in sauces, sausages or supplements. In addition to avoiding gluten, it is important to bring a balanced diet to prevent nutritional deficits, especially of iron, fiber and vitamins of group B. At Vivea we help you design a gluten-free diet that is safe, varied and adapted to your needs.

Irritable bowel syndrome (II) is characterized by abdominal pain along with symptoms such as swelling, abdominal distension, diarrhoea or constipation without an identifiable structural cause. However, these symptoms may be confused with other digestive diseases such as inflammatory intestinal disease, food intolerances, or bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). For a correct diagnosis, it is important to go to a health professional who discards other conditions through medical tests. At Vivea we help you identify the triggers of your symptoms and design an adapted nutritional plan to reduce discomfort and improve your well-being.

The SIBO (bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine) requires a treatment that includes specific antibiotics for the type of overgrowth along with a nutritional approach to meet nutritional needs and improve digestive symptoms. Feeding plays an important role in the management of SIBO to manage symptoms and cover possible deficiencies. One of the recommended nutritional guidelines is the low FODMAP diet performed in a personalized way. In Vivea we design specific food plans for SIBO, adapting the diet to each phase of treatment to improve digestive health without compromising nutrition

If you have a food allergy, it is essential to completely remove the triggering food to avoid adverse reactions. However, this does not mean that your food should be monotonous or restrictive. In Vivea we help you find safe and balanced alternatives to replace allergens without affecting your nutrition. We also teach you how to read labels, identify possible cross-contamination and plan varied and safe meals for your condition.

The diagnosis of celiaquia can be overwhelming, but with the appropriate accompaniment, the transition to gluten-free food can be simple and effective. The first is to learn how to identify gluten-containing foods and how to avoid cross-contamination. It is also important to check your nutritional status, as many celiac people have iron, calcium and vitamin deficiencies in group B. In Vivea we guide you in this process, helping you to structure your food in a safe, varied and balanced way so that you can improve your quality of life without concerns.
