Hey there,
Yesterday was the why. Today is the how. Think of this as a home makeover for your gut: patch, paint, then invite the good neighbors back in.
BPC-157 is your foreman for the repair phase: small peptide, big “let’s close that gap” energy.
The 14-day arc, but make it tasty
Think of this phase as putting training wheels on your menu so your gut can coast. After the cleanse, skip alcohol, NSAIDs, spicy heat, excess coffee, ultra-processed snacks, raw brassicas, heavy onion and garlic, and fried or very high-fat meals.
Hold the giant salads too, because big bowls of raw roughage are hard to digest, high in insoluble fiber that can scrape an irritated lining, and often stacked with gas-makers and acidic dressings. Give the repair crew some quiet to work.
Days 0 to 2: Settle
Goal: quiet the lining so repair can start.
Eat clear broth, stewed vegetables, mashed roots, soft eggs or poached fish, ripe banana, white rice or oats, with olive oil and salt. Support with BPC-157 per clinician or product guidance, plus electrolytes and nighttime magnesium glycinate.
Days 3 to 7: Repair
Goal: rebuild the barrier without poking the bear.
Now start layering in slow-cooked meats, creamy avocado, zucchini or squash, and a handful of blueberries, with kefir or yogurt if you tolerate it and simple carbs when you need them. Bring allies to the table: zinc carnosine and DGL before meals, keep BPC-157 steady, and add light omega-3s.
Days 8 to 14: Re-seed and expand
Goal: bring back diversity without drama.
Introduce probiotics gently by starting spore-based or low-dose every other day, then shift to daily if everything stays calm. Feed them with easy prebiotics like cooked and cooled potatoes or rice, a green banana, oats, kiwi, and a few asparagus tips so your new residents have something to chew on while the neighborhood stabilizes.
Run the stack without being that person
BPC-157: capsule or clinician-guided subcutaneous use, short consistent block, then reassess.
Zinc carnosine and DGL: before meals to coat and calm the lining.
Electrolytes: clutch if stools were loose.
Magnesium glycinate: bedtime helper for motility and sleep.
Only if needed: glutamine when protein is low, enteric-coated peppermint for crampy days, chamomile or ginger tea when nerves get loud.
After two calm weeks, taper supports, widen the menu, keep the simple habits. The goal is a gut that is so quiet you forget this newsletter existed.
