Take this simple test
I have gas, burping and bloating and/or cramping.
I get “heartburn,” “acid indigestion,” “acid reflux” after eating.
I take antacids more than once a week or take ‘acid blocker’ medication.
I do not have regular (at least daily) bowel movements.
If you answered YES to any of the above you may benefit from digestive enzyme supplements.
For Occasional Indigestion:
1. Make sure you’re chewing each mouthful of food 30 times. This has two important benefits: (1) it thoroughly mixes each mouthful with saliva which begins the digestive process and (2) it will slow the speed of eating and allow the body to reach a level of “fullness” faster. Just chewing each mouthful 30 times may help you lose weight even if you do nothing else!
2. Drink a full glass of water 30 minutes; before meals. This helps your body make adequate digestive juices.
Consider using one of the following supplements to aid with digestion:
Zypan: Pancreatic Digestive Enzymes and HCL; take 1 to 3 tablets with normal meals. It provides additional HCL and digestive enzymes to help properly digest food.
