For these occasional events, you can prepare to support your digestion:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.healthpost.co.nz/blog/how-to-avoid-belly-discomfort-at-christmas/" target="_blank">How to avoid belly discomfort at Christmas.</a></p> <p>However, some of us have digestive discomfort on a regular basis and sometimes after every meal. If you would like to support comfort after eating, there are some things that you can do to support this.</p> <h3>Support digestion with food</h3> <p>As simple as it sounds, it could be what you are eating or how you&rsquo;re consuming it that is leading to digestive discomfort.</p> <ul> <li>Coffee, chocolate, spicy foods, and big meals can contribute to indigestion.</li> <li>Milk products for those who are lactose or casein intolerant will lead to an upset tummy.</li> <li>Refined sugar can affect the balance of the microbiome, so high sugar snacks and drinks may lead to bloating after meals.</li> <li>Try to limit snacks after dinner and late at night. During this break from digestion, the body activates its &lsquo;migratory motor complex&rsquo; &ndash; which is a bit like a big deep clean for your intestines.</li> </ul> <h3>Tips for smooth digestion</h3> <ul> <li>Plenty of fluids daily will support digestion and comfortable elimination.</li> <li>Soaking your beans and lentils before cooking help reduce gas production.</li> <li>Chew your food before swallowing &ndash; did you know that enzymes in your saliva get to work digesting straight away?</li> <li>Give your body some time to rest while eating and just afterwards to support digestion.</li> </ul> <p>Feeling like you need a kick start? Why not try a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.healthpost.co.nz/health-concerns/digestion-detox/detox-body-cleanse/">Detox &amp; Body Cleanse</a>&nbsp;for a digestive system clean up.</p> <h3>Supplements for a settled stomach</h3> <p>There are so many processes involved in digestion, starting from the teeth chewing your meals &ndash; right to the final elimination via the bowel.</p> <ul> <li>If you&rsquo;re feeling queasy, try a ginger supplement, or a bit of sliced ginger steeped in hot water.</li> <li>To support stomach acid, try a dash of apple cider vinegar in warm water about 30 minutes before your main meals, or a supplement containing betaine hydrochloric acid.</li> <li>To support the pancreatic enzymes after a large rich meal, try some digestive enzymes with your meal.</li> <li>To support your body&rsquo;s release of bile (the substance that your body uses to break down fats), try a herbal extract containing &lsquo;bitters herbs&rsquo; before your meal. The bitter taste supports the gall bladder to release bile in preparation for digestion. Add in some extra&nbsp;<a href="https://www.healthpost.co.nz/health-concerns/digestion-detox/liver-support/">Liver Support.</a></li> <li>For digestive discomfort try a herbal extract containing chamomile or marshmallow. Chamomile is a favourite for calming kid&rsquo;s tummies.</li> <li>If you are feeling a bit backed up, try some slippery elm or fibre to support healthy elimination.
