Ever feel like your stomach is throwing a tantrum after a feast? Zara does — and Omie’s here to explain why.
In this comic strip, Zara’s meal turns into a full-blown gut dance party: chips, soda, and five samosas (yes, five!). But her tummy isn’t celebrating — it’s protesting. Omie reminds her that when we overload on processed or heavy foods without balance, our microbes get confused.
Too much, too fast, and especially too much gluten or fried food can irritate the gut — leading to bloating, discomfort, or what Omie calls a “microbial meltdown.” Sensitive tummies often mean sensitive microbes.
Why does this matter?
Because digestion isn’t just about what we eat — it’s about how we feed our microbes. When we add fiber, hydration, and mindful portions, our gut flora stay happy and our body feels balanced.
Before that extra samosa, listen to your belly — it usually knows when joy turns into chaos.
