Two common digestive ills people complain about are gas and bloating. These conditions are caused by the build-up of gas in our digestive tract which certain foods like beans and cabbage trigger. Not everyone will have a reaction after eating beans or cabbage, but those who do can experience digestive discomfort.
Our digestive tract can be thrown off kilter when we eat on the run, eat fat-rich foods, or if we suffer from a health problem like IBS. Other signs of indigestion include constipation, cramping in the stomach, nausea or decreased appetite.
While these types of digestive discomforts are not life threatening, you need to see your doctor if there is blood in your stool. You also need to tell your doctor if you’re vomiting regularly and experiencing excruciating pain.
Minimizing the Effects of Indigestion
There are some steps you can take to minimize the effects of poor digestion:
- Cut back on your caffeine intake. Instead switch to herbal teas (mint, peppermint, chamomile, fennel)
- If you have not been taking fiber with your diet before, do not suddenly add large quantities the first time. Add small amounts gradually.
- See if eating the following foods cause you to bloat or have excess gas: cauliflower, brussell sprouts, garlic, spices, cabbage. If they do, don’t eat them and see if your condition improves.
- Avoid drinking soft drinks, chewing gum, milk, smoking, or adding artificial sweeteners
- Do what millions of people do: take natural dietary supplements!
Natural Remedies for Digestive Problems
I once knew a lady who complained incessantly of stomach cramps and when someone suggested that she might have parasites, she went to the doctor to ask him if it was possible, considering that she hadn’t been anywhere. A few simple tests confirmed it. She then went to a herbalist to ask about parasitic cleansing solutions, because she was totally against taking strong prescription medication.
Fortunately for her, the natural parasitic cleansing kit she purchased eliminated many of the parasites that were in her system.
People aren’t aware that they can be infected with parasites even if they have not travelled outside the United States. Food and drink, our lakes and rivers, and exposure to infected humans others can trigger the spread of parasites.
It often times is important to get a natural parasite cleanse to rid the digestive system of harmful parasites.
Supplements with digestive enzymes like amylase, lipase, cellulose and others are also recommended. Find a product that contains papaya root. Since I’ve been in the dietary supplements industry for a few years now, I know of such products containing papaya root. Friends swear by papaya root.
I feel strongly about the need to take a full spectrum probiotic. Probiotic supplements not only kill harmful bacteria but also restore good bacteria so that our pH balance does not get disturbed by modern-day diets rich in fats and trans-fats. A good probiotic supplement can also support our immune system and protect our gut's lining, delivering the nutrients efficiently into our bloodstream.
Finally, I can't emphasize it enough: select products that are made in the USA. This is the only assurance you get if you’re after purity and integrity of ingredients.
