  1. Acid Reflux: Our customers have found great benefit in the following approach. Zinc carnozin to support mucus producing cells in the stomach make a protective barrier against acid and also can help to tighten the muscle at the top of the stomach to prevent reflux. Slippery Elm taken before each meal to form a protective layer over the oesaphagus and stomach to protect and heal – we love Biocare Slippery Elm Complex. Finally digestive enzyme that will promote efficient digestion. We recommend Udos Digestive Enzyme, Natures Plus Actizyme or Terranova Digestive Enzyme blend.
  2. Tonsil Stones: These occur when food particles, bacteria, or mucus get trapped in your tonsils and form a hardened deposit. Can cause bad breath, inflammation and sometimes become infected. Prevention of build-up is best. Gargle daily with Dr. Clare Mouthwash or Citricidal grapefruit seed extract. Apple cider vinegar may also work.
  3. Aronia berries: Berries that are packed full of nutrients and anti-oxidants. The more anti-oxidants present., the more powerful an anti-inflammatory effect. All berries are packed full of these antioxidants. Eat fresh when in season or frozen when not.
  4. Dizziness: Causes could be low blood sugar and insulin resistance – a precursor to Type 2 diabetes. Also, could be low iron, B12 and folate which can lead to anaemia. Also could be a viral infection of the inner ear canals that are responsible for balance.
  5. Bloated stomach: In a child, first it is important to prevent constipation. Fruits like figs, kiwis, pears and soluble fibre like oat bran and psyllium can soften a stool to relieve constipation. Supplements that can help are digestive enzymes – Natures Plus Animal Parade Tummyzyme, and a probiotic like Udos Children’s Blend.
  6. Loose bowel and stomach pain: Could be a food intolerance – keep an eye on eggs, dairy, barley and pea. Start with a good digestive enzyme like Natures Plus Ultrazyme or Viridian Digestive Aid – not suitable if you also have reflux. A probiotic can also help – we love NutriAdvanced Saccromyces, Viridian Lactobacillus rhamnose and Natures Plus MicroBiome for slowing the bowel down in a gentle manner.
  7. Anti-inflammatory diet: The best diet is the Mediterranean diet which has been proven in countless studies to have the best anti-inflammatory effect. Powerful natural anti-inflammatories are Omega 3 fats, Turmeric and Boswellia. We love the Unocardio Omega 3 fats and the NutriAdvanced Curcudyn Forte.
