You're doing everything right: drinking water, eating salads, and opting for healthy beans. Yet, your gut is rebelling, leaving you bloated and uncomfortable. Conventional wisdom says these foods are good for you, so why the distension? The BSB perspective reveals it's not the foods themselves, but what's happening *inside* your body. Your gut microbiome, liver detoxification pathways, and even the quality of your water are all playing a role. This isn't about avoiding healthy foods; it's about understanding the root causes of your body's reactions and fixing what's truly out of whack.
What you'll learn
- Bloating from water signals underlying gut dysbiosis reacting to water purification agents.
- Cruciferous vegetable bloating points to an overwhelmed, compromised liver struggling to detoxify.
- Legume intolerance often indicates a gut microbiome imbalance, not inherent food 'badness.'
- Conventional labs often miss critical liver dysfunction; demand advanced autoimmune panels.
- Your body's reactions to 'healthy' foods are feedback mechanisms, not reasons to avoid them.

Now, let's get and new ways of thinking. Now, let's get and new ways of thinking. Now, let's get into it. into it. into it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Feel that? What is up everyone? Welcome back to What is up everyone? Welcome back to What is up everyone? Welcome back to another episode of Integrative View another episode of Integrative View another episode of Integrative View Radio. You have Dr. Nicole flying solo Radio. You have Dr. Nicole flying solo Radio. You have Dr. Nicole flying solo today. Uh talking about uh one of my today. Uh talking about uh one of my today. Uh talking about uh one of my favorite topics as to why you are favorite topics as to why you are favorite topics as to why you are getting bloated for no good reason. Aka, getting bloated for no good reason. Aka, getting bloated for no good reason. Aka, you are getting bloated from drinking you are getting bloated from drinking you are getting bloated from drinking water. You are waking up bloated. And water. You are waking up bloated. And water. You are waking up bloated. And you're even getting bloated from you're even getting bloated from you're even getting bloated from consuming vegetables. consuming vegetables. consuming vegetables. So, let's talk about it because I feel So, let's talk about it because I feel So, let's talk about it because I feel like this is sometimes an excuse for like this is sometimes an excuse for like this is sometimes an excuse for people to say, "Fuck it. I'm getting people to say, "Fuck it. I'm getting people to say, "Fuck it. I'm getting bloated from drinking water and eating bloated from drinking water and eating bloated from drinking water and eating healthy, so I might as well just eat the healthy, so I might as well just eat the healthy, so I might as well just eat the fast food, the burger, the pizza, the fast food, the burger, the pizza, the fast food, the burger, the pizza, the tacos, etc." Well, I hate to burst your tacos, etc." Well, I hate to burst your tacos, etc." Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but you're not necessarily bubble, but you're not necessarily bubble, but you're not necessarily helping the problem. Not necessarily helping the problem. Not necessarily helping the problem. Not necessarily because all of those foods are bad, but because all of those foods are bad, but because all of those foods are bad, but most of them are containing a lot of most of them are containing a lot of most of them are containing a lot of chemicals and processed foods which are chemicals and processed foods which are chemicals and processed foods which are filled with chemicals. That's really the filled with chemicals. That's really the filled with chemicals. That's really the key to understand in most of what's key to understand in most of what's key to understand in most of what's going on with people reacting to food is going on with people reacting to food is going on with people reacting to food is that food ain't food anymore. that food ain't food anymore. that food ain't food anymore. So, I want to preface with that, but So, I want to preface with that, but So, I want to preface with that, but more importantly, what I want to talk more importantly, what I want to talk more importantly, what I want to talk about in this moment is a little bit about in this moment is a little bit about in this moment is a little bit more of a basic understanding of why more of a basic understanding of why more of a basic understanding of why your system is reacting to quote unquote your system is reacting to quote unquote your system is reacting to quote unquote healthy foods. It's actually a feedback healthy foods. It's actually a feedback healthy foods. It's actually a feedback mechanism to tell you exactly what is mechanism to tell you exactly what is mechanism to tell you exactly what is wrong. wrong. wrong. So, let's start with water. If you are a So, let's start with water. If you are a So, let's start with water. If you are a person that drinks water and you are person that drinks water and you are person that drinks water and you are getting bloated having, you know, a getting bloated having, you know, a getting bloated having, you know, a basketball in your belly after, this is basketball in your belly after, this is basketball in your belly after, this is a sign that there are very specific a sign that there are very specific a sign that there are very specific organisms, pathogens, infections that organisms, pathogens, infections that organisms, pathogens, infections that are inside of your gut are inside of your gut are inside of your gut that are not supposed to be there. and that are not supposed to be there. and that are not supposed to be there. and the agents that they use to clean the the agents that they use to clean the the agents that they use to clean the water are going in to your system and water are going in to your system and water are going in to your system and killing your pathogens which is then killing your pathogens which is then killing your pathogens which is then creating belly distension. So let's creating belly distension. So let's creating belly distension. So let's backpedal here really quick. backpedal here really quick. backpedal here really quick. Water they have water plants in order to Water they have water plants in order to Water they have water plants in order to clean the water. So you might be clean the water. So you might be clean the water. So you might be drinking tap water. Maybe you're drinking tap water. Maybe you're drinking tap water. Maybe you're drinking out of a brida. Maybe you're drinking out of a brida. Maybe you're drinking out of a brida. Maybe you're drinking out of some other type basic drinking out of some other type basic drinking out of some other type basic filtration system. If you do not have an filtration system. If you do not have an filtration system. If you do not have an elaborate purification system, which is elaborate purification system, which is elaborate purification system, which is like reverse osmosis or or distillation, like reverse osmosis or or distillation, like reverse osmosis or or distillation, you're getting exposed to chlorine, you're getting exposed to chlorine, you're getting exposed to chlorine, ammonia, chloramine that they use to ammonia, chloramine that they use to ammonia, chloramine that they use to clean the water so that it is suitable clean the water so that it is suitable clean the water so that it is suitable to be tap water. to be tap water. to be tap water. And so those are agents to kill And so those are agents to kill And so those are agents to kill organisms in the water so that you're organisms in the water so that you're organisms in the water so that you're not drinking [ ] E. coli. not drinking [ ] E. coli. not drinking [ ] E. coli. But the thing is is that a lot of people But the thing is is that a lot of people But the thing is is that a lot of people are walking around with bad bacteria, are walking around with bad bacteria, are walking around with bad bacteria, bad fungus, even mold inside of their bad fungus, even mold inside of their bad fungus, even mold inside of their guts because of the foods that they're guts because of the foods that they're guts because of the foods that they're consuming or the environments that consuming or the environments that consuming or the environments that they're living in. And this is then they're living in. And this is then they're living in. And this is then creating gut dispiosis. You're going creating gut dispiosis. You're going creating gut dispiosis. You're going ahead and drinking that water. And now ahead and drinking that water. And now ahead and drinking that water. And now it is the same agents chlorine, ammonia, it is the same agents chlorine, ammonia, it is the same agents chlorine, ammonia, chloramine are going into your gut and chloramine are going into your gut and chloramine are going into your gut and creating a very mild die off of those creating a very mild die off of those creating a very mild die off of those organisms and now you are getting gases organisms and now you are getting gases organisms and now you are getting gases released which is making your stomach released which is making your stomach released which is making your stomach distend or bloat. distend or bloat. distend or bloat. So you might say, "No, I drink bottled So you might say, "No, I drink bottled So you might say, "No, I drink bottled water." Well, to be honest, I don't water." Well, to be honest, I don't water." Well, to be honest, I don't [ ] know what's in bottled water [ ] know what's in bottled water [ ] know what's in bottled water because who knows? They might be because who knows? They might be because who knows? They might be bottling up tap water. There's bottling up tap water. There's bottling up tap water. There's definitely been speculation and theories definitely been speculation and theories definitely been speculation and theories around that. But even regardless, if you around that. But even regardless, if you around that. But even regardless, if you are drinking water that you know is are drinking water that you know is are drinking water that you know is distilled or using reverse osmosis, distilled or using reverse osmosis, distilled or using reverse osmosis, the bottled water is usually traveling the bottled water is usually traveling the bottled water is usually traveling in plastic where the plastic is in plastic where the plastic is in plastic where the plastic is expanding due to heat and those expanding due to heat and those expanding due to heat and those chemicals are going inside of the water chemicals are going inside of the water chemicals are going inside of the water and now you're drinking it. So, you're and now you're drinking it. So, you're and now you're drinking it. So, you're sometimes getting bloat and distension sometimes getting bloat and distension sometimes getting bloat and distension from the different BPAs or chemicals from the different BPAs or chemicals from the different BPAs or chemicals that are in the water that your body is that are in the water that your body is that are in the water that your body is naturally reacting to because that's naturally reacting to because that's naturally reacting to because that's what your immune system does is it what your immune system does is it what your immune system does is it attacks foreign things to protect you. attacks foreign things to protect you. attacks foreign things to protect you. So, there we go on the water part. So, So, there we go on the water part. So, So, there we go on the water part. So, now the next runner up is people that now the next runner up is people that now the next runner up is people that are having issues from eating salads or are having issues from eating salads or are having issues from eating salads or eating broccoli or eating cabbage, eating broccoli or eating cabbage, eating broccoli or eating cabbage, sauerkraut, things like that. sauerkraut, things like that. sauerkraut, things like that. So there is a uh category of vegetables So there is a uh category of vegetables So there is a uh category of vegetables that are called cruciferous vegetables. that are called cruciferous vegetables. that are called cruciferous vegetables. Some of the different vegetables that Some of the different vegetables that Some of the different vegetables that are in that category is going to be are in that category is going to be are in that category is going to be cabbage, it's kale, it's broccoli. cabbage, it's kale, it's broccoli. cabbage, it's kale, it's broccoli. And these are very specific types of And these are very specific types of And these are very specific types of vegetables that amplify detox of your vegetables that amplify detox of your vegetables that amplify detox of your liver. So when you eat these foods, they liver. So when you eat these foods, they liver. So when you eat these foods, they are enhancing liver detoxification. are enhancing liver detoxification. are enhancing liver detoxification. But if you have a boatload of toxins in But if you have a boatload of toxins in But if you have a boatload of toxins in your liver, you are then going to react your liver, you are then going to react your liver, you are then going to react and maybe you're going to get loose and maybe you're going to get loose and maybe you're going to get loose bowel movements. Maybe you're going to bowel movements. Maybe you're going to bowel movements. Maybe you're going to get bloating or distension of your get bloating or distension of your get bloating or distension of your abdomen. So this is the vegetables are abdomen. So this is the vegetables are abdomen. So this is the vegetables are doing exactly what they're supposed to doing exactly what they're supposed to doing exactly what they're supposed to do. But the problem is is that your do. But the problem is is that your do. But the problem is is that your liver is jacked up and no one is telling liver is jacked up and no one is telling liver is jacked up and no one is telling you that. So broccoli, broccoli sprouts, you that. So broccoli, broccoli sprouts, you that. So broccoli, broccoli sprouts, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, arugula, radishes, these are all kale, arugula, radishes, these are all kale, arugula, radishes, these are all different cruciferous vegetables. So you different cruciferous vegetables. So you different cruciferous vegetables. So you might react to one, you might react to a might react to one, you might react to a might react to one, you might react to a few of them. But one of the primaries few of them. But one of the primaries few of them. But one of the primaries that I hear is that people have a high that I hear is that people have a high that I hear is that people have a high reaction to kale. have a high reaction reaction to kale. have a high reaction reaction to kale. have a high reaction to broccoli and broccoli sprouts. to broccoli and broccoli sprouts. to broccoli and broccoli sprouts. Broccoli is very very high in something Broccoli is very very high in something Broccoli is very very high in something called sulfurophane which is like a called sulfurophane which is like a called sulfurophane which is like a master detoxifier of your liver. So if master detoxifier of your liver. So if master detoxifier of your liver. So if you're eating this and you're getting you're eating this and you're getting you're eating this and you're getting gassy and you're getting bloated, then gassy and you're getting bloated, then gassy and you're getting bloated, then that is because it is amplifying your that is because it is amplifying your that is because it is amplifying your liver's function, your your liver's liver's function, your your liver's liver's function, your your liver's ability to detox. But now those toxins ability to detox. But now those toxins ability to detox. But now those toxins are dumping into your gut which is then are dumping into your gut which is then are dumping into your gut which is then creating the bloating and distension.

So, you need to get your liver properly checked, not get your liver properly checked, not get your liver properly checked, not your A and your ALT, but you need to get your A and your ALT, but you need to get your A and your ALT, but you need to get an autoimmune panel ran on your liver. I an autoimmune panel ran on your liver. I an autoimmune panel ran on your liver. I have been doing this 15 years. Over 90% have been doing this 15 years. Over 90% have been doing this 15 years. Over 90% of the people that I have tested in the of the people that I have tested in the of the people that I have tested in the past 10 years have a positive autoimmune past 10 years have a positive autoimmune past 10 years have a positive autoimmune liver. The the thing that people don't liver. The the thing that people don't liver. The the thing that people don't understand is that our livers are under understand is that our livers are under understand is that our livers are under assault every [ ] day because of all assault every [ ] day because of all assault every [ ] day because of all the [ ] that's in the food, in the air, the [ ] that's in the food, in the air, the [ ] that's in the food, in the air, in the water. And in the water. And in the water. And our livers are under assault since we're our livers are under assault since we're our livers are under assault since we're literally infants. There are plenty of literally infants. There are plenty of literally infants. There are plenty of infants that I work with right now that infants that I work with right now that infants that I work with right now that are being born already with a are being born already with a are being born already with a compromised liver. And I know this compromised liver. And I know this compromised liver. And I know this because we're running the DNA testing because we're running the DNA testing because we're running the DNA testing and we're running labs. And we already and we're running labs. And we already and we're running labs. And we already know that these babies are two weeks, a know that these babies are two weeks, a know that these babies are two weeks, a month old, three months old, and they month old, three months old, and they month old, three months old, and they already have compromised liver function. already have compromised liver function. already have compromised liver function. This is this is very alarming and this This is this is very alarming and this This is this is very alarming and this should be a sign that you're not always should be a sign that you're not always should be a sign that you're not always going to get this information from your going to get this information from your going to get this information from your conventional doctors and your liver is conventional doctors and your liver is conventional doctors and your liver is going to create a cascade of different going to create a cascade of different going to create a cascade of different effects. When I work with people, if effects. When I work with people, if effects. When I work with people, if their liver is compromised, these are their liver is compromised, these are their liver is compromised, these are the same people saying, "I have horrible the same people saying, "I have horrible the same people saying, "I have horrible periods. I have hormone imbalance. I periods. I have hormone imbalance. I periods. I have hormone imbalance. I have infertility. I have headaches. I have infertility. I have headaches. I have infertility. I have headaches. I have migraines. I have IBS." have migraines. I have IBS." have migraines. I have IBS." Even I have heart issues. because your Even I have heart issues. because your Even I have heart issues. because your giant vein from your liver goes right to giant vein from your liver goes right to giant vein from your liver goes right to your right atrium. And these are people your right atrium. And these are people your right atrium. And these are people that are dealing with heart issues, that are dealing with heart issues, that are dealing with heart issues, heart putations. They're being told that heart putations. They're being told that heart putations. They're being told that they have um uh now I'm forgetting the they have um uh now I'm forgetting the they have um uh now I'm forgetting the actual name of it. actual name of it. actual name of it. Anyway, they're having different issues Anyway, they're having different issues Anyway, they're having different issues that are coming up with their heart, but that are coming up with their heart, but that are coming up with their heart, but it's not the heart. It's actually the it's not the heart. It's actually the it's not the heart. It's actually the liver. Even inflammation in the legs is liver. Even inflammation in the legs is liver. Even inflammation in the legs is a sign that there is potentially a sign that there is potentially a sign that there is potentially something going on liver and heart something going on liver and heart something going on liver and heart combined. combined. combined. So overall the liver is something that So overall the liver is something that So overall the liver is something that needs to be looked at for everyone needs to be looked at for everyone needs to be looked at for everyone nowadays. nowadays. nowadays. Okay. So the the last category that Okay. So the the last category that Okay. So the the last category that we're going to talk about that is going we're going to talk about that is going we're going to talk about that is going to be one of the givens and I know this to be one of the givens and I know this to be one of the givens and I know this is going to be like well everybody knows is going to be like well everybody knows is going to be like well everybody knows that beans soluble fiber. So beans and that beans soluble fiber. So beans and that beans soluble fiber. So beans and artichokes are two of the biggest things artichokes are two of the biggest things artichokes are two of the biggest things that are soluble fiberbased. The thing that are soluble fiberbased. The thing that are soluble fiberbased. The thing is is that you know beans have this is is that you know beans have this is is that you know beans have this reputation that they are you know they reputation that they are you know they reputation that they are you know they make you fart, they make you gassy, they make you fart, they make you gassy, they make you fart, they make you gassy, they make you bloated etc. Beans are actually make you bloated etc. Beans are actually make you bloated etc. Beans are actually a massive cleanse to your bile system, a massive cleanse to your bile system, a massive cleanse to your bile system, your liver and gallbladder. So, if you your liver and gallbladder. So, if you your liver and gallbladder. So, if you have bile that is stuck because you have have bile that is stuck because you have have bile that is stuck because you have an overloaded gallbladder or you have an overloaded gallbladder or you have an overloaded gallbladder or you have excess cholesterol buildup in your excess cholesterol buildup in your excess cholesterol buildup in your gallbladder or you have liver toxic gallbladder or you have liver toxic gallbladder or you have liver toxic overload, then you're going to go and overload, then you're going to go and overload, then you're going to go and eat beans and that soluble fiber is eat beans and that soluble fiber is eat beans and that soluble fiber is going to start to flush and cleanse this going to start to flush and cleanse this going to start to flush and cleanse this system. But in the process, it is going system. But in the process, it is going system. But in the process, it is going to then create bloating and distension to then create bloating and distension to then create bloating and distension as it's helping to ramp up the as it's helping to ramp up the as it's helping to ramp up the detoxification of your liver and detoxification of your liver and detoxification of your liver and gallbladder combined. gallbladder combined. gallbladder combined. The other thing about beans is that they The other thing about beans is that they The other thing about beans is that they are a prebiotic. They feed good are a prebiotic. They feed good are a prebiotic. They feed good bacteria, but they're not biased. So if bacteria, but they're not biased. So if bacteria, but they're not biased. So if you have bad bacteria in your gut, it is you have bad bacteria in your gut, it is you have bad bacteria in your gut, it is going to feed the bad bacteria and that going to feed the bad bacteria and that going to feed the bad bacteria and that is going to be one of the primary is going to be one of the primary is going to be one of the primary reasons why you're going to get bloating reasons why you're going to get bloating reasons why you're going to get bloating and distension of your abdomen. So the and distension of your abdomen. So the and distension of your abdomen. So the moral of the story is is if you react to moral of the story is is if you react to moral of the story is is if you react to beans, beans, beans, then more than likely you have something then more than likely you have something then more than likely you have something going on liver gallbladder combined. If going on liver gallbladder combined. If going on liver gallbladder combined. If you react to cruciferous vegetables, you you react to cruciferous vegetables, you you react to cruciferous vegetables, you then have liver issues. And then if then have liver issues. And then if then have liver issues. And then if you're reacting to water, it's just a you're reacting to water, it's just a you're reacting to water, it's just a sign that you have dispiosis of your sign that you have dispiosis of your sign that you have dispiosis of your gut. And it could be bacteria, it could gut. And it could be bacteria, it could gut. And it could be bacteria, it could be fungus, it could be candida, it could be fungus, it could be candida, it could be fungus, it could be candida, it could be mold, it could be a lot of things be mold, it could be a lot of things be mold, it could be a lot of things because those antiseptics like chlorine because those antiseptics like chlorine because those antiseptics like chlorine and ammonia and chloramine, they're and ammonia and chloramine, they're and ammonia and chloramine, they're they're not biased. They they're going they're not biased. They they're going they're not biased. They they're going to uh act as an antiseptic to any of to uh act as an antiseptic to any of to uh act as an antiseptic to any of those organisms. So, you really need to those organisms. So, you really need to those organisms. So, you really need to have better testing to know exactly what have better testing to know exactly what have better testing to know exactly what is in your gut. But guys, I'm going to is in your gut. But guys, I'm going to is in your gut. But guys, I'm going to tell you right now, going getting your tell you right now, going getting your tell you right now, going getting your diagnosis, oh, you have SIBO, oh, you diagnosis, oh, you have SIBO, oh, you diagnosis, oh, you have SIBO, oh, you have, you know, dispiosis of your colon, have, you know, dispiosis of your colon, have, you know, dispiosis of your colon, your liver is involved. It always is. your liver is involved. It always is. your liver is involved. It always is. And one of the biggest things that I've And one of the biggest things that I've And one of the biggest things that I've seen is when different practitioners are seen is when different practitioners are seen is when different practitioners are treating patients for microbiome issues, treating patients for microbiome issues, treating patients for microbiome issues, SIBO, small intestinal bacterial SIBO, small intestinal bacterial SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and they're not addressing overgrowth, and they're not addressing overgrowth, and they're not addressing the organs that are directly involved, the organs that are directly involved, the organs that are directly involved, liver, gallbladder, pancreas are liver, gallbladder, pancreas are liver, gallbladder, pancreas are included. If you do not address all included. If you do not address all included. If you do not address all three of those organs while trying to three of those organs while trying to three of those organs while trying to correct a gut issue, you will not be correct a gut issue, you will not be correct a gut issue, you will not be successful. So, it's a matter of looking successful. So, it's a matter of looking successful. So, it's a matter of looking at the integration of all of those at the integration of all of those at the integration of all of those organs together, but now you at least organs together, but now you at least organs together, but now you at least have a baseline to understand why your have a baseline to understand why your have a baseline to understand why your system is reacting to certain foods and system is reacting to certain foods and system is reacting to certain foods and in reality it's not reacting. It's just in reality it's not reacting. It's just in reality it's not reacting. It's just giving you a feedback mechanism to tell giving you a feedback mechanism to tell giving you a feedback mechanism to tell you exactly where the problem is. Now, you exactly where the problem is. Now, you exactly where the problem is. Now, you have enough data to figure that out. you have enough data to figure that out. you have enough data to figure that out.
