Fenugreek for stomach issue?
I hold fenugreek left over from when I was breastfeeding thats still suitable. for those that have used fenugreek for stomach and digestion aid, will it help gas cramps and bloating? I run out of gasx and can't get to the store tonight. I would appreciate help from the unprocessed and homeopathically minded.
Answer: Yes, you can use it for stomach issues. Typically, the recommended dose for oral use is 1-6 g three times a day. Doses as high as 50-100 g/day enjoy been used in clinical trials so that should be not detrimental.
Or if you have some baking soda, use 1/2 teaspoon in a cup of water, that should help you as resourcefully. But do not use the soda if you have high blood pressure problems..
Hi, I'm not sure something like the fenugreek. I've only used it for breastfeeding. But I know that fennel and licorice tea help near bloating and stomach cramps. And I think catnip tea too, which will also help you relax.
Good luck, I hope you have a feeling better..
Yes fenugreek can treat flatulence and bloating effectively. It's even believed to increase breast milk secretion. By the way check out some terrific home-remedies with fenugreek here:

Did you have the stomach issues while you were breastfeeding and taking it? that should contribute you a good idea of if it will work for you or not.
Fenugreek will create bulky movements for you because the the cellulose in them (called mucilage) will soak up water similar to a sponge ~ thus expanding to many times their original size and tally bulk to your stool, which triggers peristalsis. Mucilage also softens stool so that it passes more comfortably with smaller quantity straining. As a result this bulk forming herb will also help prevent haemorrhoids.. Don't use this herb if you have colitis, Crohn's disease, dverticulitis or any condition that can make happen obstrction of the gastrointestinal tract.... it's bulk forming action can aggravate these health problems.. within addition, do not take it near antidiarrhoeals or other drugs that inhibit peristalsis.
Also, is it possible that you are lactose intolerant?? Lactose intolerance can rear it's ugly principal really at any stage of our lives and symptoms of it are belching and gassiness, ribbony shaped and pellet shaped stools, mucousy stools, constipation and digestive troubles such as bloating and cramping, headaches and moodiness and irritability, insomnia, w*et farting (sorry no other way to put it) .... hold you been eating more milk and dairy products lately?? Maybe this is the culprit. Try adjectives out milk and dairy products for a few days and pump up your intake of other foods rich in calcium such as leafy and green vegies, sardines, salmon, tofu, dried beans, kale, broccolli and collard greens and also increase your intake of foods rich in vitamin D ie ~ salmon or tuna ... or simply carry 10 - 15 minutes of safe sun exposure daily (vitamin D is specified as the subnshine vitamin) . vitamin D is essential for the effective absorption of Calcium ... this could be purely the right remedy for you, as without enough calcium you will own plenty of digestive troubles, headaches and insomnia and also achy bones .... if you are lactose intolerant and keep consumption foods such as milk and dairy then you would be inhibiting your calcium absorption and also inhibiting incorporation of other vital vitamins and minerals .... try it buddy, you've got nought to lose by ditching the milk and dairy and pumping up your intake of lactose free calcium and vitamin D rich foods or sunshine... except of course all the tummy ache, bloating and cramping ..
Don't forget to drink loads of fresh filtered water and cut spinal column on the sodas, soft drinks and coffee, tea and alcohol (if you drink any) as all these will dehydrate you terribly and rob you of your precious B complex of vitamins too.. also, filch a multi B complex supplement too to bolster a healthy neural, digestive and immune sytstem Ensure you get a B complex that includes adjectives the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12, folate etc. as they all work best as a group
hope i helped a bit mate
