Natural diets to cure digestive problems

A list of natural foods that may aid in curing different digestive problems, including a guide to portion sizes. Learn how to change your diet to restore health.
There are a whole host of digestive problems that plague people today. Everything from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to Yeast Syndrome, intestinal gas to acid reflux force people to pop pills and antacids like they are candy. But most of this may be avoidable by simply changing their diet, particularly to a natural one that avoids foods that can cause these problems (called "trigger foods"). So which natural foods can help cure your IBS, and which ones will set it off? Here is a list of which foods are good and why.
There are several organs that aid in digestion- the large and small intestines, colon and stomach are the obvious ones, but also the mouth! Your teeth and enzymes in your saliva start the digestive process by breaking them down. Good oral health is the first key to avoid harmful bacteria getting into your bowels.

First thing to think about is not only changing what you eat, but HOW. Many diets on the market suggest eating six small meals per day instead of the traditional three squares. This is advisable to help with digestive disorders, as well. It is almost impossible to completely avoid trigger foods, but eating them in small portions such as with a six-a-day meal plan will ensure that there is not enough in the digestive tract to cause any problems. It also keeps your metabolism continuously active, which aids in quicker digestion and better weight maintenance, as well.

Perhaps the most important part of any diet is hydration. Water is key; you should try to consume at least eight glasses per day. Juices are fine, though fruit juices should be consumed in moderation. Too much fruit can act like a natural laxative, which may cause more harm than good, depending on your digestive problem. Vegetable juices are excellent and can supplement any multivitamins you might take daily. Alcohol and carbonated drinks like soda can irritate your stomach, so these must also be limited.

Dairy is an important part of any diet, because dairy products contain lots of calcium, which is important to maintain bone density as you age. But an undiagnosed case of lactose intolerance could be why you have so many problems digesting your meals. You can either go to a doctor or use an at-home test kit to see if this is your problem. If it is, follow your doctor's advice, though they will likely say NOT to cut dairy out. There are many products available that will help you digest dairy if you are intolerant, and this may also cure your overall indigestion as well.

Fiber is highly recommended in any diet due to its heart-healthy properties and its ability to fight colon cancer. But fibers like those in beans and fruits can cause gas while being digested, causing you intestinal bloating, pain and gas. You must still eat these, but do so in small amounts. Following the aforementioned six-a-day meal plan will make doing the smaller portions a breeze.

Starches such as rice, bread and potatoes are a part of most daily diets, unless you are on a low-carb diet. Rice is great for digestion, as it produces little to no gas. Bread and potatoes should be eaten in small amounts, like fiber. If you are indeed on a low-carb plan and wish not to deviate so much, then brown rice is a great alternative to the usual white, as are whole-wheat breads instead of white and sweet potatoes instead of russet, gold or red. These choices digest better, have more fiber and are lower in calories, so the benefits of these dietetic switches are almost endless.

What you use to cook your food can also be problematic. Olive oil is by far the best thing you can cook with. The extra-virgin variety provides the best heart benefits and flavor. If it is perhaps too strong for you, then safflower or canola are good, cheaper alternatives. The reduction in bad cholesterol is reason enough to change, but this simple change will also ease digestion.

These tips require a few changes in your grocery list and a little discipline. But most find that the changes in diet are worth it to avoid things like gas, acid reflux, IBS and others. Of course, this type of plan also improves your overall health, and therefore is still a good idea. No matter what, moderation and hydration are key! Bon appetite!
