THE DIGESTIVE DOUBLE
WHAMMY!
Q. Hi, I read your AMV posts and blogs all of the
time. I like your insight and relevancy. Question…I am 38, eat well and work out 3
times per week, but gas and bloating is driving me nuts! I tried Beano. It helped for a while but then seemed useless. Any suggestions?

A. Your digestive system is getting the double
whammy. As most of us age, our ability
to digest the fiber in foods that are usually considered healthy
decreases. These high fiber foods contain
a rich source of complex carbohydrates (whole grains, beans, seeds, legumes,
fruit etc.) which are also more difficult to digest. The fiber combined with the complex carbs. is
probably causing your persistent gas and bloating.
Beano is inexpensive and
easily available but contains a very low potency of enzymes required to break
down these foods. Beano can work but regular
usage you can also quickly reach a level of tolerance therefore rendering it less
and less effective. Enzymedica Inc. has
recently released a product called BEAN-ASSIST which contains twice the potency
of the main ingredient…Alpha-Galactosidase.
BEAN-ASSIST is a new release
but you should be able to purchase it at your health food store or online very
soon.
