echinacea for digestive troubles?

[Fordy]

I was wondering what role Echinacea has regarding stomach and digestion troubles? I t has magnesium stearate in it which is also found in some antacids. I know its most popular for colds and flu but is it also beneficial for digestive disorders?

That herb is usually used for infections. I have never used it to aid digestion.

You can find and use a digestive enzyme with and after meals to aid digestion. They can be bought at health food stores -- there are many to choose from.
