How to prep your gut before sex, the smart way

How to prep your gut before sex, the smart way

You’ve set the mood, you’ve picked the playlist, but your gut didn’t get the memo.
If you’re feeling bloated, heavy, or anxious about digestion, the secret isn’t starving yourself or chugging water – it’s supporting your microbiome.

This how-to guide breaks down the science and the steps of gut prep that’s clean, confident, and Haus of Health approved.


1. understand what gut prep actually means

Your gut doesn’t need to be empty, it needs to be balanced.
The goal isn’t to flush everything out, but to keep digestion moving smoothly and inflammation low.

That means:

  • nurturing your good bacteria (with prebiotics like inulin)

  • supporting your liver and detox pathways (with choline and artichoke extract)

  • avoiding the foods that trigger gas, bloating, or cramps

Haus principle: don’t cleanse. condition.


2. 24 hours before: feed, don’t deprive

What to eat:

  • cooked veggies like zucchini, carrots, spinach

  • lean proteins (chicken, tofu, eggs)

  • easy carbs like rice or oatmeal

What to skip:

  • cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage – gas bombs)

  • carbonated drinks

  • artificial sweeteners and protein bars

💡 Pro tip: take a Bottoms Up shot the morning before. Its inulin supports gut flow and reduces bloating naturally – no extremes required.


3. 6 hours before: hydrate and regulate

Dehydration slows digestion.
Aim for steady hydration (not chugging), and avoid large high-fat meals that linger in your stomach.

Try:

  • herbal teas like mint or ginger

  • light snacks (banana, rice cakes)

  • a prebiotic shot with inulin and artichoke extract for gentle detox support

This gives your gut time to do its thing – while you focus on doing yours later.


4. 2 hours before: keep it calm, not empty

Many people make the mistake of fasting before sex.
That actually causes your stomach to bloat due to gas buildup.

Instead:

  • eat a light, low-fibre meal

  • take slow breaths (stress tightens your gut)

  • optional: another Bottoms Up shot to promote balance and reduce discomfort


5. aftercare: because gut recovery matters too

After play, your gut deserves recovery as much as your muscles do.
Here’s how to keep things in flow:

  • drink water with electrolytes

  • eat fermented foods like yogurt or kimchi to rebalance bacteria

  • take one Bottoms Up daily for the next 2–3 days to restore your microbiome

Your gut is resilient, but consistency keeps it clean, calm, and confident.

FAQ

Can I use laxatives instead?
No, laxatives disrupt your gut bacteria and dehydrate you. Prebiotics are safer and more natural.

Is this only for bottoms?
Gut prep benefits everyone. A clean gut means better digestion, mood, and skin – regardless of your position.

Can I take Bottoms Up daily?
Yes. Inulin works best when taken consistently to keep your microbiome balanced.
