Stomach Pain

[mrclean30R6]

My Wife has stomach pain when she gets done eating? Would you have any reasons as to why after eating it hurts? What can be done to reverse it?

[Health Dr. 1]

There are a number of reasons that someone may experience pain or discomfort after eating a meal. One of the most common things is a lack of either stomach acid or digestive enzymes. If enough hydrochloric acid (stomach acid) is not present or a sufficient amount of enzymes are not produced, the food that is eaten can not be adequately broken down and there may be discomfort or pain. Fortunately, these can both be obtained as supplements. The hydrochloric acid can be purchased at most health food stores as Betaine HCl; this should be taken according to the label directions. The enzymes can be taken before or with meals and should include amylase, protease, and lipase; these are the specific types of enzymes that help to break down carbohydrates, protein, and fats; Zymitol is an excellent enzyme product. It would also be a good idea to perform a colon cleanse and a liver/gallbladder flush in order to help flush the colon and help the liver to perform more efficiently; more information can be found at http://www.ghchealth.com/liver-and-gall ... flush.html. She may also benefit from a probiotic or ‘good’ bacteria such as the one found in Latero-Flora.

Please keep in mind that the above are only possible reasons that she is experiencing pain or discomfort. I would recommend consulting with a doctor that is experienced in natural remedies such a chiropractor or naturopath so that other, more serious conditions can be ruled out.
