Constipation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, food poisoning, indigestion, gassiness, bloating… been there, done that. Here's how I manage IBS-like symptoms.
I noticed significant improvement in my post-meal abdominal pain after I started taking this before meals.
Betaine HCl Pepsin & Gentian Bitters
I take liquid ginger when I have symptoms of indigestion, and it improves my symptoms within minutes.
Herb Pharm Ginger
I take charcoal whenever I feel symptoms of food poisoning, I'm nauseous, or when I'm overly gassy. It works!
Activated Charcoal
This one's for constipation! It's a dry powder (very portable) form of magnesium citrate that works fast.
Magnesium Citrate Powder
This is the nuclear option when I have constipation. It works when nothing else will, but I also have to spend all day next to a toilet.
Aloe Vera Innerleaf
I take peppermint when I'm gassy or nauseous. I like this gels because they're so easy to keep in my purse.
Peppermint Gels
Update: I've started taking HCL instead of ACV, and it works much bette for me!
Vitacost Apple Cider Vinegar Powder
These snacks have been great for times when I can't get much food down. Since they have fiber, they also help get things moving when I'm constipated.
Chia Squeeze Blackberry Snack
These snacks help get things moving when I'm constipated and are easy to eat with a low appetite.
Prebiotic Squeeze Strawberry Lemonade
Liquid ginger drops work better, but if I have mild stomach upset, this tea works well enough. The warmth of tea is also helpful for reliving pain and discomfort.
Pukka Organic Three Ginger Tea with Galangal & Turmeric Herbal Tea Bags -- 20 Tea Bags
I use castor oil packs for constipation, bloating, and abdominal pain. It's important that castor oil is organic and in a glass bottle because your body absorbs so much of it.
Organic Castor Oil
This is the budget option for making a castor oil pack. I pour on some castor oil and hold it to my liver area for about 20 minutes.
