If you have chronic gastric problems, it is in your best interest to seek out a health care practitioner who can test or arrange for testing for potential food allergies and sensitivities. The top ten foods which may cause food sensitivities are wheat, dairy, soy, citrus, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggs and peanuts. You may choose to eliminate one or more of these foods from your diet for 4-6 weeks, monitor your symptoms, and reintroduce the food.
There may be other aspects to your gastric problems which may be caused by low stomach acid, insufficient "friendly bacteria" for digestion, pancreatic deficiencies, small intestine, bowel, and/or immune system imbalances. A trained health care practitioner can help you identify these.
