Strong digestion is the hub of good health and is recognized
as such by traditional cultures all around the world. Wisdom-driven
traditional cultures place high emphasis not only on what one eats,
but also on how one prepares the food, and how one eats.
Signs of weak digestion include gas, bloating, loose stools, irritable
bowel, acid reflux and constipation. Steps to correct digestive
weakness begin with the use of hot and cooked foods instead of raw
and cold foods. Hot drinks like ginger tea, herbal bitters, the
use of digestive enzymes, and eating awareness techniques also help
stoke the "fire of digestion".
Food allergies often play a role in the development of poor digestion,
and the right food for someone else might just be the wrong food
for you. Food allergy testing may also be required. From our many
years of clinical practice we have found the ELISA/ACT Lymphocyte
Response Test developed by Dr. Russell Jaffe of the ELISA/ACT Biotechnologies
to be the very best test for food allergies (1-800-553-5472).
