So many people experience problems with their DIGESTIVE SYSTEMS these days that you have to wonder why. These are not necessarily serious gut diseases but A GENERAL TIDAL WAVE OF: IBS, food intolerance, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhoea, gas, bloating and abdominal pain. Many times, the doctor cannot diagnose any specific condition. The problem is, WE ARE LIVING IN VERY STRESSFUL TIMES which can affect the gut and our food/air/water is contaminated with goodness-knows-what so no wonder our poor digestive systems suffer.

I have had gut challenges myself for some time so I have researched and tried many different supplements to help. Here are 10 of the ones that I have found worked best for me.

RESTORE BY NAKED BIOTICS

This is a liquid probiotic that has over 12 strains of good bacteria for our guts. It also has other natural soothers like slippery elm, peppermint and lemon balm. They recommend a shot each day (I like mine in coconut milk).

SLIPPERY ELM

Slippery Elm comes from the inner bark of a tree that grows in North America. It contains mucilage, a substance that becomes a gel when mixed with water which soothes the mouth, throat, stomach, and intestines. It also contains antioxidants that help relieve inflammatory bowel conditions. Slippery Elm can protect the gastrointestinal tract against ulcers and excess acidity.

PERM A VITE BY ALLERGY RESEARCH GROUP

This is a powder containing things like MSM, L-Glutamine, glandular complex, fibre, zinc which you dissolve in a little water and drink. Not only does this soothe the gut, it also helps to repair the gut lining.

MASTIC GUM

Mastic gum is a resin that is secreted by an evergreen shrub on the Greek island of Chios. It is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial qualities. Not only does it reduce heartburn, it can also help to eliminate Helicobacter Pylori, the bacteria that is thought to be the cause of stomach ulcers. Dane Wigington, an expert in geo-engineering, believes that there are substances in the chemtrails that can increase H Pylori in our gut. You can buy it as a powder or you can chew the ‘resin tears’ like chewing gum as it is good for oral health too.

DIGEST TAB BY DOTERRA

These are chewable tablets that are a very effective natural remedy for acid reflux and gas and help you to keep away from the expensive liquid antacids that are not good long-term. Digest Tab contains essential oils such as: peppermint, ginger, caraway, fennel and star anise.

ACID REFLUX RELIEF BY DR GROUP (OXYHEALTH)

This is a bottle of gentle, liquid drops that contain natural ingredients such as: aloe vera, meadowsweet, marshmallow, ginger and apple cider vinegar. I really recommend studying the work of Dr Ed Group as he is very well-researched on what we need to stay healthy and human in these present times.  (See link below)

COLON CLEANSE BY DR GROUP (OXYHEALTH)

You may want to take the next step and do a cleanse for your gut to remove the irritants and take them out of the body. Dr Group does several, really good cleanses (including a Liver cleanse and a Parasite cleanse) that, in my opinion, we need to do regularly to stay clean and healthy in these times. The Colon Cleanse is very simple and involves taking oxygen-releasing tablets and a specific probiotic (Brevibacillus Laterosporus) to repopulate the gut and rebalance candida and yeast. You do the cleanse for just 7 days. I, personally, would repeat this twice a year (spring/autumn are good times for this).

ALOE VERA JUICE

Aloe Vera is an amazing all-round superfood. Not only does it help soothe and cleanse your gut, it is also a natural multi-vitamin and mineral and they say that Aloe Vera has every nutrient we need to survive except for fibre! I like to take my Aloe Vera juice in a glass of water with apple juice and sip it throughout the day.

LOVE YOUR GUT BY BIOMEL

This is a drink you can buy in the chilled cabinet in most supermarkets. It is a non-dairy probiotic drink (made from coconuts) and contains fibre, probiotics, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Very soothing for the gut.

TRIPHALA

Triphala is an Ayurvedic remedy for gut wellbeing and is antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial. It consists of three, fruit powders: Amalaki (Phyllanthus emblica), Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula). Take in warm water or milk (preferably coconut milk).

Naturally, we are all different and facing different health challenges so you may find that some things work for you and others don’t. Often it is just a case of experimenting until you find the remedies that work for you now.
