Question 1

I have had my gallbladder removed and suffer lots of bloating. Can you recommend something?

Answer 1

1. Digestive enzymes to help support metabolism of food.

3. Consider long-term as this is not an acute illness.
4. Small regular meals, reducing fatty intake

1. EFA’s (particularly omega 3) - kids version available from Viridian reported to help with ADHD and behavioural issues.

Question 3

I am having digestive issues (not sure, but might be an ulcer). Can you recommend anything?

Answer 3

1. Aloe Vera (inner leaf) will help calm the GI.
2. Consider soaking linseeds in water and drinking the bloop; excellent for helping to line/protect the mucosa enabling healing.

I am suffering night sweats (post pregnancy). My GP tells me that his preferred prescription is not very nice, and that I should investigate a natural alternative. Can you help?

** NOT ABLE TO HELP ** FORGOT TO ASK IF STILL BREASTFEEDING. Spoke to Solgar who suggested Sage if not breastfeeding or Magnesium Citrate if breastfeeding - any comments welcome!!
Magnesium and B complex - hormone disruption??
