Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM: 

You listen to us, maybe sit in the car before going to supper. Then you tell yourself my God seems to me, I feel a little bloated. I have a stomach pain, perhaps you are living in constipation. Digestive disorders are not easy. I understand you. I think that we all have at some point given in our life, but fortunately, there are natural solutions that exist and we talk about it with the ally of the show, our friend Naturopath Lynn Goneau Bonjour.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Hello Frédéric.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

It is important to feel well in our digestive system. Like me I admit that for two or three weeks, I feel bloated.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

It's really not funny because, digesting Fred well is really the fundamental basis of health. Yes, good digestion it allows us to degrade all foods and then transform it into complaints for the body.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

First, some things, habits to change.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Yes, indeed. Then the first, I'm going to go with alcohol, then the coffee to ban as much as possible, not for everyone. And for many people, because it is an irritant in terms of the suggestive tube. We talk so much about the mouth, the throat, the stomach, intestine, all the inner piping. Alcohol and then coffee will also slow down the management of the food from the beginning from the mouth to the intestine. When it ferments in the stomach, because it slows down, that's where we can feel reflux, bloating, gases.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

Eat at fixed hours. That's another thing.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

It is very important. The body, especially the suggestive tube, it likes routine. So yes, a lot, a lot. When you always eat at the same time, then you eat a lot always the same quantities, he finds himself less in a state of panic. Then it will also avoid having too generous meals. I know that if I jump my dinner there, I arrive in supper. I tend to eat much more that I would have eaten in normal times. Then I end up with bloating.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

Slowly chewing there. It makes a big difference.

Lynn Goneau - naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Honestly, Frédéric, if it's the only thing people can remember today, it is one of the most important. Maman always told him when I was young, chew, you have to chew several times, 25 to 30 times with each bite, then I was doing, it's really heavy, but that has her reason for being because saliva Contains all enzymes. It will help you digest carbohydrates. They are the ones that we will find in the bread, all the carbs and then the good fats too. So if in your mouth, if you are not able to start digestion of these foods, we will have a lot of difficulty digesting. Then again, you can end up with stomach aches, bloating, flatulence. At the mouth level, 25 to 30 times that you have to chew each bite. So you have to take the time to eat.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

Another thing, pay attention to anxiety and stress. That's crucial.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Yes. Because stress can ensure that stomach content will empty more slowly because the other is in a stress. Then he will not send the energy necessary for digestion. He will use it to settle stress. So you can end up either with a transit that will be faster so diarrhea or slower with constipation.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

There are solutions to help our problems, our digestive disorders with food, some food or nutrient ideas to favor.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Yes, in fact, the steamed or oven vegetables are softer for the stomach because the fibers are less tough on the opposite of raw vegetables, it can be white meats like chickens or turkey or turkey or fish. This is softer for the stomach. Unlike red meats which are often very acidic can cause stomach rustles.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

Well, it's interesting in the morning, I don't know fibers. We often eat a bread that is a lot of fiber and all that is a good idea. What do you recommend for the breakfast?

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Yes, for a breakfast For someone who has a fragile stomach, you can have a grilled bun, a yogurt, an oats. It is one of my personal things with a little bit of almond milk, fresh fruit like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and bananas. This is very soft for the stomach. Green tea, herbal tea, a tsanne of lemon balm or peppermint. Instead of having your coffee.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

If you need supplements, what do you recommend?

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

There is one called GUT-FX of the Healthology company. And I say FX, the letter F. The letter X. It is a powdered formula that helps on several aspects. In particular to relieve, then limit gastrointestinal irritation because of the ingredients it contains as the famous marshmallow, red elm. These are plants that I love to work with it, to help heal and repair. You also have l-glutamine, glutamine, that is really recognized also to heal and repair. When you have digestion problems because the walls of the intestine and the digestive tract are irritated.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

Yes, that's it. Sometimes are porous, it lets some things pass. We lose vitamins, minerals.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

That's it. And there is also just the fact that they are irritated, ok, you also have a good source of probiotics in there. So it helps him at the intestine.

Frédéric Bisson - Host 104.7FM:

Before garning in a treatment, it is important to ask questions, to go see you, for example, because you can help find why there are digestive disorders.

Lynn Goneau - Naturopath of La Boite à Grains:

Yes, indeed, because it is never so simple as I take something or I do something, then it is all adjusted, makes it several factors to look at. It would make me happy to discuss it with people, either on the floor on Tuesday, at the Grebian grain box, I'm there from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. or it can be a private appointment.
