"The first week I started the regime the change was amazing. My energy returned, my skin glowed, the aches and pains and heat (inflammation) in my joints went away (almost all), the gastric reflux stopped. People commented on the change in me. I was amazed at how different and positive I felt. So thank you so much." Susie, Plymouth

"I can't speak highly enough of that man, he changed my life". Doreen, Worcester 

Indigestion 

The term indigestion is used to describe a range of digestive problems such as wind, stomach pain and discomfort, cramps, nausea, flatulence, lack of apatite and even "nervous tummy".

The main causes of indigestion are varied but may be attributed to:

Food allergy/intolerance especially to dairy and grains (wheat in particular)

Reaction to toxins such as chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, food additives etc), and heavy metals (mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium etc)

Medicinal drugs such as the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs, antibiotics, steroids etc

All of which interfere with enzyme systems creating an imbalance in the all-important ratio of good bacterial flora, probiotics, to the not-so-good commensal organisms in the gut.

And not forgetting the importance of stress and emotions.

The reason emotions play such a big role in indigestion is the presence of the same brain chemicals, the neurotransmitters, in the gut. In fact, serotonin, the neurotransmitter associated with lifting mood and targeted by the SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) type anti-depressant drugs, is present in larger quantities in the gut than in the brain.
It is no wonder that the gut is called the second brain and that indigestion may affect mood.

The best natural treatment of indigestion is to identify and eliminate the responsible foods, pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungus/Candida, and parasites) and the toxins, to replenish the probiotics and prebiotics - fibre, both soluble and insoluble from grains, fruits and vegetables - which feed them, and to support the immune system with the required amino acids, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids of omega 3 and 6.
