What's the Rumbly in My Tumbly?

GOT GAS? It can be a REAL pain!

Winnie the Pooh aptly describes his hunger pains with the familiar and lovable words, "I'm rumbly in my tumbly!" Perhaps we might just as aptly describe a familiar, but not so lovable, "growly in my bowely!"

When my colonic clients complain to me of gas problems, they always want to know where it comes from. One word defines this uncomfortable nuisance: Putrefaction.

These are some common causes of excessive gas production in the bowel:

• Constipation resulting in the over-accumulation of waste;
• Inability to break down complex sugars and starches;
• Insufficient exercise which slows peristalsis and circulation;
• Improper food combining-i.e. carbohydrates with heavy proteins;
• Endocrine imbalance with insufficient digestive secretions from the liver, gall bladder, pancreas, stomach and small intestines;
• Lactose intolerance or the inability to digest milk based sugars;
• Candida yeast overgrowth;
• Parasites;
• Overeating

NOTE: Colon Hydrotherapist Shiela Shea's Suggestions for Alleviating Gas

• Use herbs, digestive enzymes, or charcoal. Charcoal will also pull out the good metals and minerals when used on a regular basis. If used over time, supplement with rich minerals from algaes and land grasses like wheat and barley;
• Take enemas, Ayurvedic bastis and colon hydrotherapy;
  
• FAST: Ghandi recommended abstaining from food when in pain;
• Take a hot bath;
• Massage the abdomen;
• Avoid complex sugars and starches;
• Exercise with yoga, swimming, and walking;
• Practice breathing exercises;
• Meditate
