Health Advice and Testimonials

Bloating and flatulence a common problem!

At only nine years of age, Juliette suffered with a lot of pain and bloating. Her mother took her to the doctor on numerous occasions but she was never offered any treatment. She also often suffered with sore throats which were treated with antibiotics. By the time she was fifteen the stomach pain had increased, Juliette had stopped eating properley and subsequently lost a lot of weight. When she did start eating again it was mostly pasta and pizza dishes. She continued to have a bloated, painful stomach and a sluggish bowel.

At twenty, Juliette went to work in Indonesia for eighteen months and found relief due to the indigenous mostly wheat free diet; occasionally she would have a wheat-based meal, causing constipation. On her return to the UK, she cut out wheat, milk, meat and coffee from her diet - which helped - but the bloating and stomach pain were still an issue, in addition to constant fatigue. Juliette then came to the shop for some advice; we looked at her diet and I advised her to omit sugar - where there is bloating and flatulence, sugar feeds the pathogenic bacteria and produces toxins and gas in the gut. We discussed the fact that there may be a proliferation of yeast in her gut due to antibiotic abuse and decided to try a programme of OPtibac Saccromyces Boulardi to drive the yeast out of her system, in addition to OPtibac Wellbeing Extra to replace the good bacteria. After two months of this treatment Juliette really started to feel better - more energy, a clearer head and a decrease in weight. She also found that the bloating had disappeared, leaving her with a lovely flat stomach.

During her exam period, Juliette fell off her regime and the old symptoms returned. She quickly pulled herself around, restarted her special diet and OPtibac probiotics and was soon feeling really good again. She is continuing with the probiotics, keeping off sugar, going to the gym, keeping fit and keeping slim.
