I don’t take a digestive enzyme very often, just maybe if I haven’t eaten too healthy, and feel I am getting bogged down. I use cascara on occasion too at night after restaurant visits. I think the sugar in coffee is counterproductive to stomach acids doing their job, so you might try skipping the sugar and having that big spoonful of honey before the first cup of coffee, along with a little chocolate, macadamias, or I fry up an egg yolk and have it with my coffee or shortly after. The fats in egg yolks, chocolate and macadamias get my liver and gall bladder going which stimulates my digestion too. I usually have my milk after lunch and throughout the day before dinner. Sometimes I put a good pinch of salt in my coffee with organic B-grade maple syrup instead of sugar for that extra magnesium digestive power boost. I mix things up quite a bit so my body doesn’t rely on a particular routine. Your last comment makes me smile!HI Rinsie!
Many thanks for the quick reply!
I have exactly the same issue of feeling perturbed digestion if I take too much liquid. Even water makes me feel bloated sometimes. The same applies to me having a sweet breakfast with lots of coffee, it causes the feeling that I lack some salt to make HCL acid and get bloated some time later.... (my own explanation, not sure if this is correct).
I will try your suggestion for the honey before bed, or before the coffee and will post my update. Should I eat it just before the coffee, or some time before?
Regading the digestive enzyme, I have nevered tried them because I remember having read somewhere that if you took them regularly, the body stops producing its own enzymes, and this got me scared....what is your opinion on this?
Thanks again, I am reading and enjoying your post and the great info you share A LOT!
