Indigestion (Poor digestion, Dyspepsia) : Symptoms, causes, Diet and treatments.

Indigestion (Poor digestion, Dyspepsia) : Symptoms, causes, Diet and treatments.

SYMPTOMS
Gas, abdominal pain, a bloated feeling, rumbling noises, belching, nausea and possibly a burning feeling. Sometimes vomiting.

CAUSES
Dyspepsia is probably the most common “disease” in the Western World. Ongoing indigestion can lead food allergies, osteoporosis, anemia, degenerative disease and a debilitated immune system.
   Poor dietary habits and stress are primary causes of this problem. Other causes include (1) overeating, eating too fast, not chewing food well, eating when fatigued. (2) Too much cooked food and not enough fresh food, not enough fiber in the diet. (3) Partaking of coffee, tea, soft drinks, alcohol, and using nicotine. (4) Eating foods you are allergic to. (5) Eating when nervous, distressed, angry, fearful, etc. (6) A lack of hydrochloric acid (achlorhydria), which means protein food will not be digested correctly. (7)A lack of digestive enzymes, which keeps vitamins and minerals from being used properly. (8) Other causes include peptic ulcers. Intestinal obstruction can lead to indigestion. If the liver, pancreas, or gallbladder are not functioning properly, it is more difficult for the body to digest food.
   If food does not digest properly, it tends to ferment in the intestines. This produces hydrogen and carbon dioxide gas, which causes bloating and pain.

NATURAL REMEDIES
  • Correct everything, pertaining to the above paragraph, that you can.

DIET
  • Drink carrot and beet juice
  • A primary cause in older people is achlorhydria (low hydrochloric acid production). Take natural digestive aids, such as papain from papaya or bromolain from pineapple.
  • Papaya contains the digestive enzyme, called papain; and fresh pineapple contains bromelain. Or take papain and bromelain tablets. These are proteolytics which break down protein.
  • Calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D are needed.
  • If foods, such as cabbage, cucumbers, onions, radishes, or turnips are foods which cause indigestion, an aftertaste usually identifies the problem food.
  • Eat more live (raw) foods rather than primarily heavy cooked items. Fresh, raw foods are rich in enzymes that help digest and assimilate the nutrients. But those enzymes are destroyed when heated over 120o F. All processed foods have been heated above 120o F.
  • Be sure to include enough fiber in your meal. Otherwise you are more likely to have constipation, with consequent absorption of toxin backup into the system.
  • Include trace minerals in the diet (in Norway kelp and Nova Scotia dulse)
  • Obtain adequate vitamin and mineral supplementation. If you are having a difficult time absorbing your food, you need to maintain those nutrients all the more.
  • Keep in mind Kouchadoff’s discovery. This Russian scientist experimented and found that, when cooked food was eaten, the white blood cells increased rapidly in small intestine. As part of our immune system, they increase to fight hostile invaders. In other words, when your white blood cell count goes up, a threatened infection or disease is being prepared for. In contrast, eating raw foods protects the immune system and does not cause an increase in white blood cell count.
  • Dr. Bircher-Benner, of Switzerland, discovered that eating raw food at a meal before cooked food is eaten, prevented the formation of white cells in the intestines. Therefore, he always served raw salads before cooked foods.
  • Some people have an excess of hydrochloric acid in their stomachs, and they do best eating a little protein, such as a few raw nuts, to start the meal. This gives the stomach acid something to work on right away.

AVOID
  • Avoid greasy foods or foods containing meat. Eliminate meat entirely. It is very hard to digest; and it frequently has bacteria and parasites.
  • Do not use alcohol, vinegar or caffeine. Avoid spicy, refined or greasy foods; these promote indigestion.
  • Food allergies, such as lactose (milk) intolerance, can also cause it; so locate and eliminate those foods from diet. Avoid foods which tend to bother you. Take the pulse test in order to determine yours.
  • Do not eat heavily of legumes, especially lentils, peanuts and soybeans. They contain a substance which slows down certain digestive enzymes.
  • Eat fewer gas-producing foods, such as cabbage and cauliflower. Avoid eating these food combinations together at the same meal: milk and sugar, fruits and vegetables, sugar and protein.
  • Do not drink out of bottles, cans or through straws. Do not chew gum or suck on hard candies. Do not drink carbonated beverages.
  • Avoid foods which have lots of air in them, such as carbonated drinks, beer, soufflés, omelets, whipped cream and ice cream.
  • Do not drink liquids with your meal; for this dilutes your stomach juices.


OTHER HELPS.
  • First thing each morning, juice a lemon and drink it in a cup of water. This will help prepare your stomach for its daily duties.
  • Get more rest at night; rest a little before meal.
  • You should be able to relax when you eat. Do not eat when you are in a hurry, under stress, upset or excessively tired. Take time to chew your food thoroughly. Try to relax for 30 minutes after each meal.
  • Swallowing air (by chewing with the mouth open, talking while chewing, or gulping food) can cause indigestion.
  • It is important that you eat at regular hours. Getting too hungry allows gastric juices to accumulate and may trigger indigestion, especially for diabetics and hypoglycemic.
  • If symptoms are severe, eat lightly at meals and gradually figure out which foods disagree with you.
  • Do exercises, such as sit-ups, to improve muscle tone if abdominal distension is a problem.
  • If the immediate problem is extreme, put a tea spoon of activated charcoal in a glass of water and drink it; or crush up 6 charcoal tablets in your mouth and drink a cup of water.


HERBS
  • English bitters are very helpful. Take them before each meal. (These are bitter herbs)
  • To soothe the stomach, end a meal with a cup of chamomile tea.
  • Peppermint tea can relieve indigestion. The German government recommends it for this purpose. Angelica root tea is also good for this purpose. Take 2-3 tsp. dried herb, per cup of boiling water, or up to 1 tsp. of tincture. Other helpful herbs include coriander, marjoram, catnip, fennel and ginger. Mint tea calms the stomach

    1. Its a miracle that I am alive today. I encounter HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS (HSV1/2) for good four (4) years, six (6) months and twelve (12) day with my calculations, before I meet the great Dr. Emmanuel. I am Tina Richard from Fresno California, united state of America and I was affected with herpes virus.Herpes is a viral infection cause by the Herpes simplex virus, marked by painful, watery blister in the skin or mucous membrane or on the genitals. This was what I suffered for good four years. I have visited CVS Pharmacy in Fresno for treatment but no improvement. I meet Dr.Emmanuel online while I was searching for herpes cure I read a testimony about his work. I give a try that now becomes a testimony in my life. I contacted Dr.Emmanuel WhatsApp  +2348140073965 or E-mail: nativehealthclinic@gmail.com

  6. Hey guys, so in July 2019 I had my first outbreak & it was literal the biggest nightmare, I had lesions inside my urethra so peeing was the worst. I had went to the doctors and I was misdiagnosed! They told me it was a yeast infection and gave me medicine for that. Fast forward to October 2020, I had my second outbreak, not as intense as the first but still bad, went to my regular doctor this time and boom, tested positive for type 1 herpes. I had just gotten out of an abusive relationship with my boyfriend and I automatically knew I'd gotten the virus from him. I was broken, depressed and thought my life was over. But natural herbs and root cause is really a life saver, after a week of using dr Oshuku herbal remedies my symptoms started to disappear. Now Am totally cure from Herpes contact details droshuku@gmail.com
