There are a few things that will help with low stomach acid. First smaller meals help as your stomach doesn’t have to try processing a large quantity all at once. Adding a probiotic and digestive enzymes supplements help as well. With low stomach acid you want to be certain to include acids such as betaine HCL to help breakdown the proteins you eat.

Can chocolate hurt my IBS-D?

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:45:46 +0000

The National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse or NDDIC would say yes! The Cacao in chocolate can be quite harsh on the digestive system as can be the dairy used in the chocolate processing. To better know what your trigger foods are, you may wish to keep a food diary or journal to make notes of how certain foods affect you, and thereby limit or eliminate those from your diet.

Cleansing the colon, and adding probiotics as well as increasing fiber intake can greatly help relieve the symptoms of diarrhea, cramping, bloating, and gas often associated with IBS-D. Other changes such as diet, stress reduction and sometimes medication help in controlling the discomfort of IBS-D.

Is my digestive discomfort related to my menopause?

admin — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:29:14 +0000

During menopause, the estrogen level drops to almost nil, which leaves the predominant hormone, progesterone. The result of the change in hormonal balance can lead to a variety of problems. As we grow older, and especially during menopause, our digestive system slows down to a bare minimum. The combination of the slowing of the digestive system with the hormonal imbalance of estrogen and progesterone is seen as the nasty side affects, indigestion, heartburn, bloating, gas, and even constipation.

Cleansing the colon/liver on a routiine basis, every 4-6 months and combining that with digestive enzymes, can often ease the digestive woes during menopause. To learn more about digestive issues such as gas, bloating, constipation, low stomach acid, and H.Pylori, visit www.puristat.com

What is meant by the natural state of foods?

admin — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:37:28 +0000

While this seems like an odd phrasing of words, it is actually quite simplistic. Let’s start with an apple, it grows on a tree, and if we pick it, wash it, we can simply eat it as is, right? Exactly! Now, that is the natural state of the apple. Now, let’s take this apple, pick it from the tree, wash it, peel it, cut it, mix it with some sugar, cinammon, butter, and put it in a slow cooker with some water. We have just made applesauce! Now this is our apple once processed. Now say we take the same apple, wash it, peel it, cut it, pack it in a can and add preservatives, this is now twice processed. Once by the addition of the preservatives, and a second time, as the apples, packed in the can are vacuum sealed by heated cooking of the can. What does all this mean? Simply, eat the apple!!

This same thing applied to our vegetables, we eat the raw vegetables, not the cooked, canned or frozen. Meats are a bit more difficult, but not impossible. Of course, we aren’t going to eat raw meats!! Look at tuna, a fresh caught fillet versus, processed canned. The natural state, yes, you got it!! The fresh caught fillet!!

Which is better bottled water or filtered from the tap?

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:11:37 +0000

Here are some cold hard facts on bottled water versus filtered tap water:
In March of 1999, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) released a report called “Bottled Water: Pure Drink or Pure Hype?”

City tap water can have no confirmed E.Coli or fecal coliform bacteria. FDA bottled water rules include no such prohibition (a certain amount of any type of coliform bacteria is allowed in bottled water).
City tap water, from surface water, must be filtered and disinfected. In contrast, there are no federal filtration or disinfection requirements for bottled water.
Most cities using surface water have had to test for Cryptosporidium or Giardia, two common water pathogens, that can cause diarrhea and other intestinal problems, yet bottled water companies have no such test.
Filtering out the chlorine, lead and other contaminants with a quality home water filtration system, at the point of use, just prior to consumption, is the best way to know for sure about the quality of your drinking water.

How often should cleanses be done?

admin — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:33:40 +0000

The recommendation for frequency on cleansing is every 3 to 4 months. However; each of us have different digestive systems, with different symptoms and needs. Your personal cleansing may be every 2 months or every 6 months. Your body will tell you when it needs a cleansing as you will begin to experience the same symptoms you had prior to your initial cleanse.

My personal schedule is every 5 months. I have IBS-D, with gas, bloating and indigestion. I cleanse my colon and use digestive enzymes daily.
