Re: Bloating/slow digestion

[Guest guest]

Try cutting out all wheat/grain and perhaps get some good quality digestive

enzymes. If possible you could always try having your main meal in the middle of

the day rather than in the evening.

and I am now hugely bloated, uncomfortable and short of breath. I do tend to

overeat but I eat vastly less than I used to - yet the bloating and digestion is

worse than ever.

Hi there Niki

For years I had really severe problems with my digestion, to the point where I

was disabled with it.

I don't know if it will be of any help to you but I stopped the problems by

cutting out lactose completely. This stopped the dreadful digestive problems. I

also follow a strict low carb diet which helps with the bloating.

It took me a lifetime to work out that lactose was causing me so much pain -

different for everyone I know but these two things really helped me.

Hi Niki

I get the bloating and slow digestion thing occasionally (I used to get it a

lot). When it's bad, especially at night, I use Honeygar. You can get it from

Holland and Barrett, health shops and some supermarkets. It's cider vinegar and

honey. It increases acid levels in the stomach, and therefore encourages the

stomach to empty.

It doesn't aid digestion as such, but can relieve symptoms of bloating and

reflux. It works for me, so it's worth a try.

Because it's acidic it also helps improve bile flow, which in turn aids

digestion.

You might also like to look at a website I found which explains the link between

the liver, bile and digestion. This as helped me a lot, as my gut is notoriously

slow and can give me problems from time to time. Www.gallbladderattack.com

The title's a bit dramatic, but its info covers all aspects of liver and bile

production, not just gallbladder probs. May be useful?

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Have you tried going gluten free. Gluten causes terrific

bloating and once you stop taking gluten, the results can be truly amazing.
