Digestive Disorders
Digestive Disorders can be confusing! Here are some definitions.
Remember that it is always best to consult your doctor for advice
on chronic digestive problems that do not respond to changes in
diet and lifestyle.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) - also known as 'spastic
colon' is one of the most common chronic health disorders
in the world and affects up to 20% of the population. It is a dysfunction
of the bowel and large intestine, causing lower abdominal pain,
cramping, constipation and diarrhea. Causes have not been conclusively
identified, but are thought to involve problems in communication
between the bowel and the brain.
Crohn's Disease - is one of the Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.
It causes inflammation in the digestive tract (usually the
small intestine), resulting in chronic pain and diarrhea. There
may also be rectal bleeding, weight loss and even fever. There are
different theories about what causes Crohn's Disease, but many doctors
believe that the immune system reacts to a virus or a bacterium,
causing chronic inflammation in the intestine. Crohn's Disease tends
to run in families.
Diverticulosis - is a condition in which 'pockets' or diverticula
form on the wall of the colon or the large intestine, usually on
the left side. This is a result of weaknesses in the bowel wall.
Symptoms include left lower abdominal pain, diarrhea,
cramps, changes in bowel habits or even rectal
bleeding. Diverticulosis is associated with a diet high
in processed foods and low in fibre and fluids. Diverticulitis occurs
when there is an infection in the 'pockets' or diverticula of the
intestinal wall. Diverticulosis can be effectively treated
by increasing dietary fibre and fluid intake and using herbs to
soothe and tone the lining of the digestive tract.
Ulcerative Colitis - is also an Inflammatory Bowel Disease
and is associated with inflammation and ulcers in the inner
lining of the colon and rectum. People who suffer from ulcerative
colitis usually alternate between periods of flare ups and remission,
often influenced by stress, diet or illness. Symptoms include rectal
bleeding, diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping and an urgent need
to empty the bowels.
Gastritis - is an inflammation of the stomach lining. It
may be caused by eating spoiled food, by bacteria, viruses, by certain
chemicals, as well as by stress and lifestyle factors. Symptoms
include nausea, vomiting, fever, diarrhea and cramps. Gastritis
may be acute or chronic. People who suffer from chronic gastritis
should investigate dietary changes, stress management and removal
of alcohol, cigarettes and spices.
GIRD - or Acid Reflux Disease - is a condition in which
the stomach acid 'backs up' or refluxes into the oesophagus due
to dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter. This causes pain
and burning, often called heartburn - although it has nothing to
do with the heart. While we all have heartburn at some stage, persistent
heartburn (more than two or three episodes a week) may suggest Acid
Reflux Disease. Other symptoms include a sour taste in the mouth,
swallowing difficulties, upset stomach and even coughing and hoarseness.
Some causes of Acid Reflux Disease, or GIRD, include
a hiatal hernia, obesity, smoking, alcohol abuse and certain foods.
Symptoms can be greatly relieved or prevented by lifestyle and dietary
changes as well as the use of herbs known to promote healthy digestion.
If symptoms persist, it is always wise to consult your doctor to
prevent further complications.
Heartburn, Indigestion, acid reflux, gas, bloating, diarrhea,
constipation - are all symptoms which we experience from time
to time. If you are occasionally troubled by these symptoms, you
can obtain quick relief by using Native Remedies DigestAssist
Drops, especially formulated for rapid relief of uncomfortable
digestive complaints. If you have these symptoms regularly, this
may indicate incorrect diet, unhealthy lifestyle or one of the conditions
described above.
Why try natural home medicine like herbs to treat
digestive disorders?
There are many synthetic over the counter and prescription medicines
to treat digestive complaints and disorders like IBS, Crohn's
Disease, Gastritis, Acid Reflux Disease (GIRD),
Diverticulosis and Ulcerative Colitis.
These include anti-inflammatories like Sulfasalazine, Asacol,
Pentasa and Dipentum, corticosteroids, drugs that suppress the immune
system, antibiotics and other medication for symptomatic relief.
While these synthetic medications may make a big difference to
quality of life for people suffering from digestive disorders and
dysfunction, many also come with side effects like nausea, vomiting,
heartburn, headache, diarrhea and even greater risk of infection.
Immunosuppressant drugs may also lower the body's natural
resistance to illness.
Naturopaths recognize that the whole person must be treated in
order to maximize health and reduce symptoms of imbalance in the
system.
Research has indicated that a combination of natural home medicine,
regular exercise and dietary changes can make a significant
difference to the lives of people suffering from digestive disorders
and complaints.
While many of these problems are strongly linked to modern eating
habits, digestive disorders have been around since the dawn of time.
This means that the natural approach has a long history of excellent
results without side effects and further damage to the system.
What are Gastronic Dr. and DigestAssist?
Recognizing the need for a healthier and more effective approach,
without the side effects of the prescription drugs, Native Remedies
has developed Gastronic Dr. and DigestAssist - both 100% home medicine containing well researched ingredients and manufactured
in therapeutic dosage according to the highest pharmaceutical standards.
Gastronic Dr is a capsule which is used every day for the
digestive tract and as a preventative for flare ups of stomach and
digestive disorders such as IBS, Crohn's Disease, Gastritis, Acid
Reflux (GIRD), Ulcerative Colitis and Diverticulosis. Gastronic
Dr. safely and effectively acts to improve digestive health, reduce
inflammation and reduce and prevent digestive disorders.
DigestAssist, the perfect companion to Gastronic Dr.,
comes in fast-acting and convenient drop form, and can be taken
as needed to quickly put an end to symptoms of heartburn, nausea,
gas, indigestion, and acid reflux. If symptoms such as gas/cramps/heartburn
flare up (e.g. after eating the wrong food) a few drops of Digest
Assist will soothe the symptoms away.
How have Gastronic Dr. and
DigestAssist helped others?
"I have struggled with IBS for years and years and used to
despair that I could lead a normal life. My doctor told me to 'live
with it' . I wanted to let you know that I have tried a huge number
of 'solutions'' including natural home medicine and prescription medicines,
but none have come close to helping me like your products have.
I take Gastronic Dr. every day and I NEVER go out without the DigestAssist
Drops! If I do have an attack I can control it quite quickly and
the symptoms are far less severe. I have to confess that I smoke
and like my toddy at night, but I think that if I reduce or stop
this as advised by Michele, I will finally have complete relief,
no thanks to my doctor but lots of thanks to Native Remedies!"
Carlos.
"I used to be able to eat anything but as I got older I had
to be so careful with my food. Things improved after I cut out dairy
products but I was always worrying about stomach cramps, heartburn
and gas. One good thing was that I lost weight but I did not enjoy
my food and even stopped going out. Since using your products, things
have changed for the better and I can control my symptoms by myself
without chewing on expensive tablets all the time." Lydia.
"Thanks to your sound advice and superb products, my digestive
problems are a thing of the past. I have recommended them to a girlfriend
who has Crohn's Disease and she's already seeing results after only
two weeks." Sidney.
Gastronic Dr. contains the following therapeutic
herbs in a 100% vege-capsule.
Matricaria recutita, also known as German Chamomile,
is a medicinal herb which has been used by European naturopaths
for centuries. Its anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic and calming
properties make it an extremely effective treatment for digestive
disorders.
Filipendula ulmaria, or Meadowsweet, is an anti-inflammatory,
soothing digestive remedy which helps to protect the digestive tract
and reduce stomach acid secretions. It is also effective in reducing
the pain of digestive disorders and ulcers and is
similar in structure to the synthetic drug called acetylsalicylate,
or aspirin - without the side effects commonly associated with aspirin.
Ulmus fulva, or Slippery Elm, is one of the most effective
herbs used in reducing digestive pain and irritation and
also protects and soothes the lining of the stomach and digestive
tract due to its high mucilage content. Only bark from top quality
Slippery Elm is used in Gastronic Dr.
Sutherlandia frutescens, also known as 'Cancer Bush' or 'Kankerbossie'
is a medicinal herb exclusively found in Southern Africa
and has been used by indigenous people for thousands of years to
treat chronic and acute digestive complaints, internal cancers
and as a powerful tonic. Recent research has confirmed its adaptogenic
properties. Sutherlandia contains a number of highly active compounds,
including pinitol, L-canavanine and the amino acid, GABA. L-canavanine
is a strong L-argine antagonist that has documented anti-cancer
and anti-viral activity (Swaffer et al. 1995, Crooks and Rosenthal,
1994, Ostlund and Sherman, 1996)
DigestAssist contains the following therapeutic
herbs in convenient and fast-acting drop format.
Zingiber officinale, commonly known as Ginger, has
a long history of medicinal use in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic
(Indian) medicine. Modern research confirms its effectiveness in
relieving the symptoms of nausea, vomiting, indigestion, flatulence
and dizziness. Working mainly in the digestive tract, Zinziber
boosts digestive fluids and neutralises acids, making it an effective
alternative to anti-nausea medication, but without the usual unpleasant
side effects. Zinziber has strong anti-inflammatory and pain
relieving properties and is also used to treat arthritis
and other inflammatory diseases.
Foeniculum vulgare, also called fennel, was a favorite
herb in medieval times and was used to stop stomach rumbles and
colic. It was commonly used after meals to prevent flatulence, indigestion,
colic and other digestive problems. Fennel has strong calmative
and anti-inflammatory properties.
Mentha piperita, one of the most effective of the mint
herbs, has been used for centuries to relieve indigestion,
nausea and heartburn. Modern research has demonstrated
its effectiveness in soothing the symptoms of diverticulosis, IBS
and other digestive disorders. Mentha piperita is widely cultivated
for medicinal uses and also has anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic
properties. It relaxes the muscles of the digestive tract and stimulates
the flow of natural digestive juices and bile, thereby assisting
healthy digestion.
Pelargoneum graveolens, also known as 'maagpyn bossie'
(stomach pain bush) is a traditional medicinal herb
used by indigenous people of South Africa. It has a wide variety
of uses and is an effective calmative and anti-spasmodic herb, reducing
stomach cramps and pain.
Can I use DigestAssist and Gastronic Dr. along

less frequent.
As always, consult your doctor before discontinuing or changing
any prescription medicine.
