The cure for a gassy gut is...

pineapple! Drinking one cup of juice after a meal calms those rumbling intestines. Pineapple contains bromelaine, a digestive enzyme that breaks down food quickly, reducing gas build up. It also is soothing to the tummy.

Another great food that aids digestion is papaya, which also contains bromelaine. Having a cup of this yummy tropical fruit will have the same effect as pineapple.

Why not try them both?

About Me

My photo
I am a freelance writer, Reiki master, and educator, with diplomas in teacher's aide and child psychology, and numerous writing courses. I home schooled my son, who was born 10 weeks early and was expected to have developmental and learning lags. In 6th grade, he took an 8th grade standardized achievement test, and scored as a college sophomore in math and English. It inspired me to write a book, which I have given away for free! It is called Make your Kid a Genius, and can be downloaded at my website http://www.irenehelenzundel.com I am passionate about alternative healing methods; especially Reiki, aromatherapy, acupressure, therapeutic massage and music and sound therapy.
