I'm glad you went to your doctor to rule out any digestive diseases. Indigestion can become a chronic condition particularly if you don't change your diet and elminate the foods that are causing the problem. Our American diets typically contain many foods that are acid forming. They are not balanced with enough alkaline foods such as fruits, vegetables and salads. We are eating so many white flour and white sugar carbohydrate foods and not enough wholesome, nutritious foods that are nutrient dense.
As we age, we don't produce the same digestive enzymes that we produced when we were younger. Amylase is the carbohydrate digesting enzyme, protease is the protein digesting enzyme and lipase is the fat digesting enzyme. Products like Feel-Rite Ultra Veggie Enzymes and Superenzyme are excellent sources of these enzymes. Feel-Rite also caries Enzymedia Digest, Solaray Super Digestaway and Schiff Super Enzymall which are full spectrum digestive aids. Keeping chewable Payapa enzymes on hand, which contain papain, can be helpful for you also. One of my favorite remedies is a juice called Lily Stomach Formula. It is combined with several herbs like chamomile, slippery elm, marshmallow and peppermint together with aloe vera juice. It can be very soothing to your digestive tract. Drinking plenty of water also dilutes acid production in the stomach. Many people are not drinking enough pure water and drinking too much acid containing coffee and sodas instead.
Remember, your first line of defense is correcting your diet which will also be an overall benefit to your health.
