Your digestive health is central to your overall health. When your gut doesn’t digest your food properly, you won’t just be experiencing gastric discomfort. You’re also not getting the full benefit of the nutrients in your food and your overall wellbeing is compromised. What’s the best way to support your gut health? THE CONVENIENCE FACTOR In our busy lives, it’s tempting to take the approach that’s easiest and most convenient and that usually means opting for conventional medication. It’s very understandable – after all it usually offers immediate relief of symptoms. However, what’s often overlooked is the long-term effect of treating just the symptoms in the short term: you don’t address the underlying condition that’s causing the problems and there are some serious side-effects to consider which are all too quickly overlooked. THE QUICK, EASY OPTION Antacids or acid blocking medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 Blockers are usually the treatment of choice for digestive ailments. Most antacid disclaimers advise that the product should be stopped after 14 days, whilst PPIs and H2 Blockers’disclaimers state that the product should be discontinued after 8 weeks. The truth is, conventional medication only offers short-term relief of symptoms, it doesn’t address the root cause of the problem, the underlying issues. The way that PPI’s and H2 Blockers work is to suppress the body’s natural secretion of gastric juices. Antacids are alkaline-based and are used to neutralize stomach acid. Doing this on a regular basis has been found to increase the occurrence of food allergies. According to Professor Erika Jensen-Jarolim and colleagues at the University of Vienna “Medications that reduce acid secretion or neutralize the acidity within the stomach may set up a situation where harmless food proteins become potential allergens, which can then trigger an immune system response resulting in an allergic reaction.” The body is unable to absorb the vital nutrients essential for optimal functioning without sufficient levels of stomach acid. Without the proper digestion of these nutrients, the brain, bone, immunity and nerve functions are all compromised. Apart from anything else, there are also a significant number of side effects of antacids: Anxiety, Bloating, Constipation, Diarrhoea, Headaches, Fatigue, Kidney Stones, Hypercalcemia, Mood Swings, Muscle Pain, Nausea, Osteoporosis, Renal Failure, Rickets, Urination Frequency and Discomfort. THE OTHER OPTION Research shows that Pinolenic acid –found in high concentrations in Siberian Pine Nut Oil –is known to help with digestion, balancing out the stomach environment and preventing food from fermenting in the digestive tract. This leads to the effective relief of bloating, pain, acid reflux and other stomach problems. It is a natural solution which optimizes your digestive processes. The Other Option’s DIGESTIVE REMEDY™ Siberian Pine Nut Oil is a supplement with NO NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS and can be taken on a LONG TERM BASIS. Visit our page on the various digestive disorders that DIGESTIVE REMEDY™ treats as well as dosage advice and directions. There are a number of other positive side effects to using a natural remedy such as Siberian Pine Nut Oil including: improved complexion lower cholesterol increased energy, immunity and metabolism. We recommend taking the cold-pressed natural oil – just a teaspoon three times a day is the recommended dose – as opposed to capsules. We believe that the less processing there is, the better. The additional processing involved in producing the oil in capsule form can expose the oil to metal as well as heat which can result in a loss of quality and nutritional value. There’s significant evidence that Siberian Pine Nut Oil has a positive impact on a wide range of digestive health issues. It cannot be overstated how one’s digestive health impacts dramatically on one’s overall well-being. A happy tummy really does mean a happy you!

Answer: Myth The major part of the digestive process takes place in the small intestine. The stomach takes in the food, then churns it and breaks it into tiny particles called “chyme.” The chyme is then released in small batches into the small intestine, where most digestion occurs. Contrary to popular belief, foods do not digest in the order they are eaten. Everything lands in the stomach where it’s all churned together, and only when it’s ready is it released into the small intestines together.

Babies get acid reflux too
Adults are not the only ones to experience acid reflux. Just as The Other Option’s DIGESTIVE REMEDY™ Siberian Pine Nut Oil helps adults with reflux, it also helps babies who may be struggling with the development of their digestive systems. While an allergic reaction to pine nuts is extremely rare, it is prudent to be cautious when introducing nuts or seeds to babies for the first time. Babies must be 12 weeks or older, and both the baby and the baby’s biological parents must be free of allergies, asthma and eczema. Before you give The Other Option’s DIGESTIVE REMEDY™ Siberian Pine Nut Oil to your baby, please call us for quick and simple steps to test for nut/seed allergies, as well as specific dosages especially for babies. Do NOT USE before contacting us for the dosage, directions, and simple precautionary nut allergy test steps.

It’s a double-whammy. Not only is your body coping with adapting to all the natural changes of pregnancy, but on top of that your digestive system starts playing up! Once you are over the nausea so common in the 1st trimester and you enter the 2nd trimester, there are 3 main gremlins that can cause digestive discomfort. Heartburn Also known as acid reflux, you’ll know you have it if you experience a burning sensation that can reach from the centre of your chest to your lower throat. It’s very common in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters because the hormone progesterone relaxes the valve separating your esophagus from your stomach allowing gastric acids to come back up, causing that uncomfortable burning sensation. Tips to alleviate Heartburn Eat smaller meals – five or six small meals instead of three big ones Don’t drink a lot of fluid with your meals, drink between meals instead Avoid spicy, greasy or fatty foods, chocolate, and caffeine Avoid bending or lying down right after eating Constipation About 50% of pregnant women experience constipation, (abdominal discomfort, hard stools and less than 3 bowel movements a week) sometimes as a result of iron supplements or the pressure your expanding uterus puts on your intestines. Pregnancy hormones also relax the intestinal muscle, causing food to move more slowly through your digestive system. Tips to alleviate Constipation Drink more fluids – hydration can help keep bowel movements soft Add more fibre to your diet, including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans. Include physical activity to your daily routine to help maintain regular bowel movements Flatulence Excess gas occurs because the hormones relaxin and progesterone loosen the muscles in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract, causing food to travel down more slowly and excess gas to build up more quickly. Tips to alleviate Flatulence Avoid or reduce carbohydrate drinks Avoid fatty fried foods Eat smaller meals throughout the day Exercise to help stimulate digestion The Other Option’s DIGESTIVE REMEDY™ Siberian Pine Nut Oil is a natural cold-pressed oil made from Siberian pine nuts that has shown positive results for all the above digestive issues. Although no clinical tests have been performed, it is a natural remedy that is considered perfectly safe to use during pregnancy.

…the same stuff that masons use to clean bricks. Luckily, our stomachs are lined by a thick layer of mucus to protect us from the acid and the enzyme pepsin that it produces. The mixing motion of the stomach, along with the acid and the breakdown of protein by the pepsin, turns the bolus (the food you just swallowed) into a liquid substance called chyme, which in turn is then slowly released into the small intestine. For a full meal, this process takes approximately two to three hours. Very few substances are absorbed into the bloodstream directly from the stomach, and notably, these are the very substances that can cause stomach irritation: alcohol, aspirin, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Otherwise all other nutrients are absorbed in your blood stream via the small and large intestines.
