This is my story
About 8 years ago, my belly suddenly developed into what looked like
a 5 months pregnancy, reaching 7 whenever I had something to eat!
Anything -literally anything- I ingested inflated my stomach like an
airplane life jacket when you pull the string.
At the time, I had to frequently entertain clients over lunches
and dinners. Until today, Im at a loss for words to describe how
embarrassing and unpleasant that episode was!!
I mean, how on earth can you sustain a constructive business
conversation when you feel like a prisoner in your own clothes and
literally about to burst?
The bloating affected my mood, energy and output at work, which
seriously suffered as a consequence. I avoided socialising with clients
and became apprehensive of food. I reduced the size of my meals
so much, for fear of bloating, that I came dangerously close to
malnourishment.
My GP gave me some tablets to relieve the spasms and advised me to
take peppermint capsules to reduce bloating. These helped, somehow
superficially, but I was nowhere near solving the problem. And, to my
distress, the bloating and gas worsened
To cut a long story short, and after months of trial and error, I landed
on an acupuncturist table, looking like a voodoo doll on overtime. But
it was actually his kind advice, wisdom and knowledge that saved the
day.
He immediately identified coffee as being the main culprit. No, It
was not IBS, as other professionals had diagnosed. It was simply a
less-than-healthy diet aggravated by a severe intolerance to coffee,
which I was clearly overdoing, to fuel my adrenaline-charged days.
My stressed stomach was in such a sorry state it was reacting to
everything. A drastic change of diet and lifestyle was my only hope to
return it to proper functioning order.
Upon my acupuncturists advice, I immediately and completely gave
up coffee and tea for the first 3 months Having to go without the
familiar caffeine rush was absolute torture initially! He advised me
to take Swedish Bitters, and Triphala. In addition, he put me on
a strict cleansing and alkalising diet, consisting mainly of organic
salads, vegetables and fruits, with some grains included, like quinoa
and barley. He encouraged me to have bio-yogurt regularly and I
was allowed to eat organic fatty fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel
5 times a week. Organic chicken was an option, but I am not a meat
eater.
Within a week, I noted a small improvement A month later I was
grateful to be able to have a light meal without feeling uncomfortably
bloated as a result. My long lost energy and good mood gradually
returned

Im bloated
Youre bloated
Shes bloated
Hes bloated
Were bloated
Theyre bloated
Everyone bloats, including cats, dogs, birds and fish. Even the
seemingly flat tummies you so admire (and possibly envy), sometimes
get bloated. Bloating is as universal as eating
Certainly every living person has had experience with bloating. Its
uncomfortable, unpleasant and, at times, downright embarrassing.
However, its the increase in the degree and frequency of bloating that
could be cause for concern and should be addressed. Frequent bloating
indicates a less than efficient digestion.

Lactose intolerance
Is the inability to metabolise Lactose, (a sugar found in milk and
diary products) due to Lactase (the enzyme which processes lactose)
insufficiency. When the lactose reaches the colon undigested, it
ferments. The result manifests in gas and bloating, as well as watery
diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, acidity and/or fatigue.
Food intolerance is completely unpredictable and can be very
confusing, as well as difficult to pinpoint.
Symptoms of intolerance vary from one person to another and include:
Abdominal bloating and pain
Chronic diarrhoea
Constipation

Vomiting
Pale, foul-smelling, or fatty stool
Weight loss
Unexplained iron-deficiency, anaemia
Fatigue
Bone or joint pain
Arthritis
Tingling numbness in the hands and feet
Seizures
Missed menstrual periods
An itchy skin rash
Bone loss or osteoporosis
Depression or anxiety
Youve been drinking milk and loving tasty cheeses and cream desserts
all your life All of a sudden now, you have the tiniest piece of cheese
and your belly blows out like a parachute, and the colic makes you
want to scream!
An important point to note is that lactose intolerance can develop
even in people for whom dairy products have never caused problems
previously.

Long-Term Remedies
Avoid lactose: Read all food labels to spot hidden lactose
Take lactase enzymes

Fructose Intolerance
Fructose is naturally present in fruits, some vegetables and honey. It is
also used as a sweetener in some soft and fruit drinks. When the body
doesnt absorb fructose properly, it is called fructose mal-absorption or
fructose intolerance.
This is a common condition not to be confused with hereditary fructose
intolerance, a rare, genetic and sometimes fatal disorder affecting the
liver.
24
Corn Intolerance
The incidence of corn intolerance is not as common as other food
intolerances, but is on the rise. It could be explained by the increased
prevalence of Genetically Modified corn (GM).

If you suspect
Celiac Disease, its
important not to
stop gluten until
youve had your tests
confirmed and been
diagnosed. Stopping
gluten before the
tests will make the
intolerance harder to
detect.
