“Every time I eat I get uncomfortable bloating and indigestion.” I’ve heard this statement thousands of times over the years, especially from people aged 45 plus.

Gran knows best

Linda’s healthy ageing tips
Here are some of my healthy ageing tips.

The Secret to Looking and Feeling Young. (It’s not what you think)

Can malnutrition be prevalent in a modern 20th century society?
You may have the best diet in the world, but if you’re not properly digesting your food and, more importantly, not properly absorbing and assimilating nutrients from your food, you may as well eat rubbish, because very few nutrients will be getting through the small intestine, to the liver, thenceforth transported to your cells and […]
Is there a connection between Helicobacter Pylori and an increased risk of getting IBS?
Over the years I’ve received, and still do receive many enquiries from people needing help, following triple therapy for the eradication of Helicobacter Pylori (HPylori) bacterial infection.
