Introduction

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another exciting version of Chip Talks Health.

Do you hurt when you eat? Do you have burning, burping, or bloating? Do you feel like you have to go to the bathroom right after eating—or that you can’t go at all? You’re not alone. About 90% of people experience some kind of gut issue or discomfort after meals.

But that’s not normal. You were designed to operate perfectly. When you eat a meal, it shouldn’t hurt. That pain is a sign something’s off—an imbalance or underlying stress in your digestive system.

Understanding Gut Pain

In our clinic, we see this every day. We use a bioresonance scanner, which isn’t a diagnostic tool but helps us see informational patterns in the body. What we consistently observe is that nearly everyone shows some type of infection or imbalance that might be connected to digestive distress.

After thousands of scans, we’ve learned that almost every case falls into three main categories.

The Three Common Gut Patterns We See

Most clients show patterns consistent with one of these:

1️⃣ Digestive Irritation (H. pylori–like pattern)
2️⃣ SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
3️⃣ Parasitic or Terrain Stress (Helminth-type pattern)

These three patterns are strong, competitive, and capable of disrupting other systems in your body’s “inner ecosystem.” Let’s look at each one.

1️⃣ Digestive Irritation (H. pylori–like Pattern)

If you often burp up stomach acid and feel burning in your throat or esophagus, that’s your body telling you something’s out of balance.

You might notice:

• Burning or gnawing after meals

• Sour or sulfur-like breath

• Nighttime discomfort or reflux

• Low energy after eating

These experiences usually show up when stomach acid balance is off. Without enough acidity, digestion slows and the gut terrain weakens.

“If you’re burping up acid, that’s not spicy food — that’s your body telling you the terrain is off.”
— Chip Paul

2️⃣ Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO-like Pattern)

SIBO feels different. It shows up as:

• Bloating 30–90 minutes after meals

• Pressure or visible distension under the ribs

• Alternating constipation and loose stools

• Fatigue or brain fog after eating

When gut microbes grow in the wrong place (the small intestine), they create gas and pressure. Fiber and fermented foods that normally help digestion can actually make this worse until balance returns.

“Fiber helps once balance returns — but when overgrowth is active, it’s like adding fuel to the fire.”
— Chip Paul

3️⃣ Parasitic or Terrain Stress (Helminth-type Pattern)

This one is more common than people realize. These organisms are part of the natural world and can affect all mammals.

Signs may include:

• Itchy skin or restlessness at night

• Fatigue or changes in bowel habits

• Kids with unexplained digestive or behavioral shifts

“Every mammal needs to ‘deworm.’ It’s just part of living on Earth.”
— Chip Paul

Chip recommends periodic “terrain support” — similar to how we deworm pets — to keep the internal environment balanced and resilient.

Strengthening the “Border Wall”

All three patterns thrive when the body’s borders are weak. Your stomach acid and gut lining act like the first and second layers of your internal firewall.

Here’s how to rebuild and protect them:

1️⃣ Stop feeding the imbalance.
Cut down on sugar, alcohol, and late-night snacking.

2️⃣ Support stomach acid and bile.
Eat on a rhythm, chew thoroughly, and consider digestive support such as bitters or the TrueMedX Digest supplement before meals.

3️⃣ Rebuild the gut lining.
Use nutrients like glycine, glutamine, collagen peptides, and supportive herbs such as licorice and zinc carnosine.

4️⃣ Replenish essential nutrients.
Balance omega-3 and omega-6 oils, include all nine essential amino acids, and make sure you’re getting trace minerals.

“Stomach acid is your first firewall. Your gut lining is your second.
Support both, and you’ll change how your body feels after every meal.”
— Chip Paul

When to Seek Medical Care

If you experience bleeding, severe pain, rapid weight loss, or persistent fever, please seek medical attention. Natural support works best when paired with appropriate medical care for more serious issues.

The Takeaway

Pain after eating isn’t random—it’s your body communicating. Once you understand what it’s saying, you can make small, consistent changes that restore comfort and balance.
