Indigestion

Indigestion may be a symptom of a problem in the stomach, small or large intestine, or it may be a disease in itself. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, heartburn, spacing, nausea, vomiting, and a burning sensation after eating.

Food allergies may be the cause, as can chronic stomach problems, life stress, emotional strain, and a lack of digestive enzymes, all of which can cause digestive problems. If you talk while eating, wolf down your food, or drink soup while eating then it is easy to cause indigestion. Sugary foods contain bacteria and are the main source of gas. You need to find out what foods you can't digest and avoid them.

Home remedies

●Test for stomach acid

Lack of stomach acid is a direct cause of indigestion, and you can do a stomach acid self-test. Take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. If this makes the heartburn go away, then you need more hydrochloric acid (you can drink pure apple juice with water with a regular meal). If this makes the symptoms worse, then you have too much hydrochloric acid and should not take any more enzymes containing hydrochloric acid.

●Maintain a balanced diet

Maintain a balanced diet rich in fiber, such as fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Chew slowly, don't gobble.

●Foods to avoid

Avoid refined sugar, bread, cake, macaroni, dairy products, caffeine, orange fruits, tomatoes, peppers, carbonated beverages, potato chips, junk food, fried foods, spicy foods, red meat, beans, and

cola. Reduce salt intake. Processed foods, junk foods, and all dairy products stimulate excessive mucous membrane secretion, leading to protein indigestion. Moderate the amount of peanuts, lentils and soybeans. They contain an enzyme inhibitor.

●Watch your food combinations

Proteins and starches, vegetables and fruits are not beneficial combinations, milk is best avoided with all three meals, and combining sugar with proteins or starches is not good for digestion.

●To deal with flatulence

Flatulence in the upper part of the digestive system can be treated with pancreatic enzymes, and flatulence in the lower part of the digestive system can be treated with trace minerals. Acidulants are ineffective for both gas and flatulence. When too much gas is produced, the juice of a fresh lemon can be added to about 1.14 liters of warm water and used as an enema to balance the pH of the body. If the flatulence persists for several days, an enema of Lactobacillus bifidus can be used, which will relieve the problem within a few hours (see Chapter 8 below).

●Taking Acidophilus

Dyspepsia can also be improved with acidophilus, as a lack of these benign bacteria is the most common factor in indigestion. Open 10 capsules and take them, or use - tablespoons of the powdered formula. For those allergic to lactic crystals, switch to a cow's milk free product. Acidophilus is also quite a safe enema, with few problems. You may feel mild discomfort, but it subsides after about an hour.

●Acid for the eyes

Sip a tablespoon of pure apple cider vinegar with a glass of water with your meal to aid digestion. Drink a glass of lemon water first thing in the morning for healing and blood cleansing properties.

●Taking charcoal

Charcoal tablets are quite effective in absorbing gases from the body, but it interferes with medicines and nutrients. Do not take it for a long time.

●Drinking rice soup

Rice soup and barley clear porridge are effective for flatulence, gas and heartburn. Use 5 parts water to one part grain (rice or barley) and boil for 10 minutes. Cover the pot and simmer for another 50 minutes. Strain, cool and drink several times a day.

●Exercise

For example, fast walking and gymnastics are good for digestion.
