I am in distress. I have alot of gas/bloating/and indigestion..I have been checked by a gastro doc with an endoscopy/colonoscopy, and it revealed nothing. I then changed my diet to more whole foods, and vegetables. I do take vitamins but i just cant seem to shake the swelling and bloating in my abdomen...I tried antiacids and digestive enzymes...the enzymes helped some, but the bloating comes back...its so strange...i just wonder if its my gallbladder? If so, are there alternatives to cleanse it? thanks
Your symtoms sound like what my husband had been experiencing. He did go to the doctor and it did not help.
I had him start taking Fenugreek, it's an herbal supplement that I purchase at GNC.
He takes it daily, and it does work.
The reason I use it is for indigestion problems I had after undergoing liver and gall bladder surgery. (It has been 16 years.)
My doctor did not recommend this to me. I tried it after trying everything else. I now recommend it to anyone who has indigestion problems or heartburn, and they all have had positive results.
I cannot tell you that it will work for you, and it is not an overnite fix. You could also be allergic to it. The only thing I can tell you is I do not know of anyone having a problem with taking this supplement.
I have researched this herb and did not find any medical evidence to support my claim, I can only tell you that from my experience with it, it does work and with no ill effects.
**The only people who should not take this
supplement are pregnant women, or women trying to conceive.**
