Is bacterial gastro lethal?

What are some foods that I can eat for good gastro-intestinal health?

• I recall getting a stomach bug about 2 years ago and ever since that ghastly event, my gastro-intestinal system has not been the same, I get bloated easily, get gas and general discomfort. Of course this has been exacerbated by a diet of plenty of meat and not enough vegetables etc... Recently I copped another stomach bug, most likely from eating spoiled meat and this time it was very unpleasant. My anus has never had to work that hard before and I also missed out on 2 days of work. I am currently on the mend and after years of neglect I am now more determined than ever to give my intestines the kind of TLC that they deserve! What kinds of foods should I eat to help my gastro-intestinal system recover to have it return to proper working order?

• Answer:

  Good stomach acid kills bacterias, fungis and parasites. When stomach acid is low, then you are unprotected from these nasties which can explain why you are repeatedly suffering from stomach bugs. Bloating, gas, indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux and a host of other food related digestive issues (including diarrhea and constipation), are a very good indicator that you could be suffering from low stomach acid. By the time you are 40, you have about a 90% probability of having low stomach acid.
