Managing Digestive Conditions

In the last few months, I have been busy with a seminar focusing on naturopathic treatments for

digestive conditions such as functional dyspepsia (indigestion and reflux) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), I thought I would share a couple of fruity antidotes, because it’s always lovely to share research on food.

First, the Kiwi fruit has been shown to be helpful in IBS, with 1 kiwi fruit eaten twice a day shown to improve defecation, frequency of bowel motions, pain and discomfort. This study was of good quality, over a period of 6 weeks in 70 participants.

Whilst, bananas, were shown to be helpful in those suffering from functional dyspepsia, reducing acid production and increasing healthy mucus secretion.

Happy Eating!
