In a person with a healthy digestive system, food is eaten and digested, and nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream in the small intestine.  Various substances are necessary for healthy digestion to take place. Conditions that prevent sufficient mixing of food with substances such as digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach can seriously affect digestion. 

This inability to absorb nutrients, digest foods properly can lead to trapped air, bacteria production and food stagnation.  All of these can lead to gas, bloating and flatulence. 

Puristat can help!  To learn more about Puristat and the all natural line of products, visit www.puristat.com

While there are foods which can produce gas and others which can decrease gas, not all gas, bloating or flatulence is food related.  Food choices play an important role, but if you have changed your diet and still are plagued, read on!

Medicine, stress, smoking, lack of exercise, over-excersion during exercise, and the amount of air you swallow while eating?  Yes, these are all things which can also cause gas, including menopause.

Why?  The above have a direct link to your hormones, your immune system, and overall general health.  When you are stressed, your body may respond by increasing stomach acid production during times when you are not eating.  This can cause a lack of digestive enzymes and necessary acid during eating periods.  Menopause, which changes hormone levels for women, also changes enzyme levels in the digestive system, as there is a direct correlation between enzyme levels and hormone levels.

Along with keeping a journal of what you eat and how it affects you the following list of foods can be avoided to help decrease gass production and ease bloating.

The carbohydrates found in some vegetables can produce gas, bloating and flatulence:

Breads, grains and cereals which may cause gas and bloating: 

Other foods can include dairy products, fatty foods, soluble fiber, fruit sugars, and articial sweeteners due to the sugar alcohols.

The Glycemic Index (GI) is a food ranking system.  The GI is used as a measurement of how carbohydrates in particular affect blood glucose (sugar) levels in our bodies.  The ranking is in direct correlation to how our bodies either use or store carbs.  The higher the ranking of a food the more likely it is to not only raise our sugar levels, but also to be stored as fat.  Storing of sugars in this manner typically also increases our water storage.  These things combined can keep us from not only losing weight, but also leave us fatigued, feeling unhealthy, and invite diseases and disorders.

Foods low in the ranking include: Lentils, Meat Ravioli, Butter Beans, Lima Beans, Yams, Cashews, Fettucine, Spaghetti, Fructose….and this is only a few on the low index.  There are many more I have not listed here.

As you decide to make the transition from the medium or high glycemic foods to the lower ones, cleansing the colon and the liver will help to decrease the carb cravings.  As you  make these dietary changes, your body will go through a variety of changes.  Some of the changes can include water weight loss, increased energy, headaches, cravings (carbs), waste weight loss.  Again, these are only a few of both the good and a few of the bad affects.  Truly, the good benefits of changing your eating far outweigh the bad!

Using a colon cleanse product with just the right combination of herbs is key to a great colon cleanse program.  People around the globe have used herbs for centuries to assist their bodies in eliminating toxins, parasites, old waste, and mucus. 

A cleansing agent with the right combination of herbs to gently and effectively assist the body is the first step.  Next a probiotic in the right combination of herbs is needed to restore the good bacteria.  The last critical component is a high potency multivitamin and mineral supplement to aid in a healthy digestive system and overall healthy body.

Diverticula are sacs, pouches or pockets which can form in the walls of the colon.  Most often these develop as a result of straining during a bowel movement.  Frequent constipation can lead to straining which weakens the colon wall allowing the pockets to form.

Sometimes there may be no symptoms associated with diverticulosis and other times you may experience cramping, bloating, diarrhea and continued constipation.

Diverticulosis itself is the rupturing of the sacs, this can be life-threatening.  Cleansing the colon on a regular routine basis helps to keep the colon wall strong and healthy.

Fiber, best known for helping to relieve constipation has a host of useful functions.  Fiber helps with common digestive aliments such as diverticulitis, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids and can help decrease gas.  Did you know:

Fiber keeps us feeling full, reduces the risk of blood glucose spikes, and makes it easier to lose weight.  These things are just the tip of the iceburg.  For more information on fiber, visit us online at www.puristat.com
