BANISH gas and bloating with this enzyme-based ‘bomb squad’
Remember when you were a kid… and you could eat WHATEVER you wanted… WHENEVER you chose…
Without a HINT of digestive BACKLASH?
Those were the good ol’ days – when “stink bombs” were HILARIOUS.
But as we get older, WE can become the “stinkers”! And when it happens to YOU, excessive gas isn’t so funny anymore.
If you indulge in certain “problem foods,” the “wind” that results can RUIN a nice meal…
Not to mention the rest of your day AND night.
But there’s a natural way to DEFUSE the bombs you’re about to drop… and STOP gas where it starts…
So you can eat healthy, nutritious foods… like that bowl of chili you’ve been avoiding… without clearing the room.
A trick for too many toots
If you’ve ever experienced an upset stomach… heartburn… or other discomfort after eating…
You’ve probably been told that digestive enzymes can help.
And that’s true…
But what you might not know is that there are SEVERAL naturally-occurring enzymes in our bodies that aid in digestion – each with their own unique function.
So, in order to FIX your digestive issues, you’ve got to know WHICH enzyme does WHAT.
In the case of excessive bouts of gas, the one you’ll want to know about… and the one you might be DEFICIENT in… is called alpha-galactosidase.
It works to “clear the air” by helping your body digest certain carbohydrates earlier in the process… rather than letting them FERMENT in your large intestine!
I’m not talking about crackers or a slice of your favorite white bread…
But starchy legumes like beans… and cruciferous veggies like cabbage and Brussels sprouts.
These “problematic” foods have something in common – and it’s the reason they can be a little tougher for your body to digest.
The contain a type of carbohydrate called galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), the fermentation of which can cause a “gut bubble” to form like nobody’s business.
So, you might be inclined to SKIP these nutritious foods altogether.
But considering their health BENEFITS… not the least of which is helping beat back cancer, in the case of the cabbage cousins (which also include broccoli and cauliflower)… you’d be MISSING OUT on some of the most health-promoting foods you can eat!
Unfortunately, the resulting discomfort… and, well, unpleasantness… are DEALBREAKERS for some.
But thanks to this enzyme trick, you could ENJOY those gassy foods…
WITHOUT the embarrassing and malodorous repercussions!
Supplementing with this specific digestive enzyme can reduce the NUMBER of those embarrassing “slips” of gaseous wind… and the SEVERITY of the episodes, too.
Even better, it doesn’t just improve the “air quality” in your immediate vicinity…
But it also can RELIEVE uncomfortable bloating and painful cramping!
Fortunately, scientist figured out how to harness this enzyme trick into a gas-busting product in the early 1990s.
The result?
Beano!
It’s widely available as an OTC “gas fixer”… and it’s affordable and safe, too.
Beano made its inventor – a self-proclaimed “tinkerer of carbohydrates” named Alan Kligerman – wildly successful (as well as the “butt” of more than a few jokes).
So OF COURSE other makers followed suit to offer similar products…
And now you’ve got your choice of enzyme-based protection from the dreaded “bean blast”!
Another option is BeanAssist, which is vegan and non-GMO.
One dose is generally considered 300 GALU (galactosidic units). Take it before eating any foods that are known to cause a “backdraft.”
