\nwith the theme of the month of love, I discussed on my homepage blog<\/a> the
\nbackground and contributing factors to the unwelcome chest pain of heartburn.
\nIn this blog, I will provide some tips on how to ensure your digestion stays
\nhealthy and happy.<\/p>\n
\nfor your wellness toolkit if you feel you need digestive support.<\/b><\/p>\n
\ndown when you eat. If you are stressed, your body’s nervous system will be too
\nheightened to enter into rest and digest mode. This alarm stage prevents the
\nformation of digestive enzymes. <\/p>\n
\ndrinking while you eat, unless its warm water with ginger or herbal tea. Otherwise,
\nyou’ll dilute your body’s enzymatic release.<\/p>\n
\nwhole, unprocessed, and organic foods as much as possible. Avoid sugar and junk
\nfood. This is to prevent the additional stressors of chemicals, hormones, anti-nutrients,
\nand antibiotics on your digestive function.<\/p>\n
\nproper digestive enzymes. I like to work with my clients to find the perfect
\nblend of pancreatic, stomach, and liver support. If you know you don’t have an ulceration
\nin your digestive lining, you can ask your integrative provider to test your
\nneed for hydrochloric acid using the HCL test. <\/p>\n
\nintestinal inflammation with herbals and nutrients such as glutamine, zinc
\ncarnosine, or DGL (de-glycrrhizzed licorice) as needed.<\/p>\n
\nmicrobial balance support using natural antimicrobials, probiotics, or a
\nprescription as indicated.<\/p>\n
