Marhaba, Welcome to Dubai. You could also try removing all foods containing additivies, colors and preservativies, and eat 'live' yoghurt. Probiotics dietary supplements capsules promote good intestinal bacteria, along with live yoghurt. All of the above have definitely contributed toward a better quality of life for me. Having suffered decades with excruciating stomach pains and food traveling through me at lightenening speed. (Sorry, that is probably too much info) After many tests and doctors telling me, it must be IBS.....which I kind of knew already, something was definitely irritating my intestines. Last year I was at home much more than usual, and able to 'watch' myself closely and record everything I ate. I discovered I had a severe allergic reaction to everything containing preservativies, additives, and artificial colors. Having refined my diet, and it is a bit fiddley in the beginning, but it is worth the effort. I begin my day with a bowl of frozen berries, fresh fruit and Activia yoghurt. It really forces you to eat healthy and natural, organic where possible, food stuffs. Oddly enough, I can eat chocolate with no side effects whatso ever. Bliss... Hoping my contribution along with all of the other ladies useful information helps you a little.
