IBS Free for Over 2 Years Now! - The Things I Do to Try to Feed My Microbiome Better

Let me be honest. I hate vegetables. I always have. If it’s green and crunchy, I want no part of it. But when I discovered the microbiome and realized how deeply it was connected to the lifelong battle I had with IBS, everything changed.

I’m 52 now, and I’ve suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome since I was 13. For most of my life, I experienced flare-ups at least once a week. They were painful, unpredictable, and deeply humiliating. The worst part was that they didn’t always happen at home. It made me feel like I was broken. I didn’t understand what my body needed, and I had no idea where to turn.

Then I discovered the science of the gut microbiome. It was life-changing. I started experimenting with what I now call my gut health ritual. I began blending, brewing, and drinking things I never thought I’d consume—because drinking them fast was easier than chewing vegetables. And I created something I desperately needed: a visual tool that showed me how my digestion was working in real time. That’s how BlueHue Transit Time Capsules were born.

Since starting this routine and tracking with BlueHue, I have been flare-up free for over two years. After decades of weekly flare-ups, that still amazes me every single day.

My Morning Gut Ritual

Every morning, I do the same strange but powerful routine. It may look unusual from the outside, but it works for me and it changed my life.

Turmeric, Ginger, and Black Pepper Brew

I take a large pot of water and simmer freshly grated turmeric root, ginger root, and black pepper for about 90 minutes. Once cooled, I bottle and refrigerate it. It’s strong, earthy, and spicy. I shoot it down in the morning like medicine, because for me, it is.

Turmeric helps fight inflammation. Ginger soothes the digestive tract. Black pepper helps your body absorb the active ingredients. It’s a gut-healing powerhouse in a bottle.

Chilled Black Coffee

I brew black coffee, let it cool, and refrigerate it. I drink it straight—no sugar, no cream.

Black coffee is rich in polyphenols that help feed beneficial bacteria in the gut. It also supports motility and gives me the mental kickstart I need to stay sharp and focused throughout the day.

Garlic, Onion, and Apple Cider Vinegar Shot

I blend one yellow onion, a spoonful of minced garlic, and a few tablespoons of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar in my NutriBullet. The result is intense, pungent, and not for the faint of heart. But it delivers powerful prebiotics that feed good bacteria and support healthy digestion.

Sauerkraut and Water Blend

I blend plain sauerkraut with water to create a fermented probiotic shot. It’s tangy and strange, but much easier to drink than chewing through sauerkraut. This shot delivers live probiotic cultures that support microbial diversity.

The Routine in Action

Each morning, I take out three four-ounce glasses and pour in my turmeric-ginger brew, black coffee, and sauerkraut water blend. I drink each one quickly and move on with my day. I also drink three liters of water—but slowly, throughout the day, not all at once.

I eat a small handful of mixed nuts and take my supplements: fish oil, turmeric capsules, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, glucosamine HCl, triple boron complex, and DHEA. These support inflammation control, joint health, hormone balance, immune function, and overall wellness.

Why I Created BlueHue Transit Time Capsules

After suffering for decades, I wanted a way to track my digestive speed in a safe and visual way. I didn’t want to guess anymore. I wanted proof—something that told me when food moved through my system efficiently.

So I created BlueHue Transit Time Capsules. Each capsule contains a visual marker made from FDA-approved food-safe indigotine and Butterfly Pea Flower Powder. These capsules help me track my gut transit time. When I see a blue bowel movement, I know my digestion is working properly. It’s simple, effective, and honestly, kind of fun.

Since I started using BlueHue, I’ve experienced total relief from IBS. Not a single flare-up in over two years.

What Changed

I still don’t eat vegetables. I still don’t have a perfect diet. But my morning ritual and BlueHue keep me on track. I’m consistent, and that consistency keeps me healthy.

And the change hasn’t just been physical. I went back to college at 52. I haven’t received a single mark below 93 percent. My brain is clear. I can focus. I feel better than I have in years.

I believe with everything in me that this routine—and tracking my gut function with BlueHue—is the reason why.

Final Thoughts

I know what it feels like to live with IBS. The fear, the embarrassment, the pain, the uncertainty—it dominated my life for decades. I created BlueHue for myself but because I didn’t want anyone else to feel helpless like I did I have now made them available to others.

This routine might sound strange. But it works for me. And it might work for you too.

Feeding your microbiome doesn’t have to mean eating salads or blending kale. It can mean finding what your body responds to. For me, that means drinking my vegetables fast, supporting my gut with real food, and tracking my progress with a little blue capsule that changed everything.
