Nutrients elsewhere: If you are uncomfortable after eating dairy, it is a signal that your body may need a different source for those nutrients.  Many vegetables can give you the calcium.  There are many other sources of protein such as meat, eggs, nuts, soy.

Question 4

is activated charcoal effective against food poisoning, and gas etc? are there any side effects from taking it?

Accepted Answer

SaveItForABarbeque: Activated charcoal adsorbs lots of stuff but is not used for"food poisoning"unless due to a toxic chemical,not the type of food poisoning from bacteria or viruses. Some say it's OK for gas but i don't think so.It comes as tablets &amp; as a liquid mixture.The mixture can get really messy &amp; tastes like Hawaiian poi.Take too much and it will constipate you.And if you take medications it will adsorb them

Question 5

can florastorselect immunity boost w/ zinc, vit c & d cause nausea, gas & bloating/pain as side effects?

Accepted Answer

: The supplement you asked about is not an approved therapy and the only benefit is likely to provide is a lighter wallet. You do not need the supplement.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Giddiness: It makes you feel giddy with poor recall - too high of a dose can cause respiratory depression.   It should not be abused.

Question 8

i took two assured brand headache relief (acetaminophen 250 mg, aspirin 250 mg) yesterday and have had bloating and gas for the past 24 hours. how long will it take for the side effects to stop?

Accepted Answer

: I cannot link the meds to the bloating based on their actions. Bloating is due to air you swallow when feeding and gas produced during bacterial action on what you are digesting. It will pass in time as your diet changes.

Question 9

7 week old baby with reflux spit up more on nexium, has more gas and drinks less. is this a side effect of nexium? should nexium be stopped or will the side effects ease over time? if nexium is stopped, will the acid from the reflux cause harm?

Accepted Answer

Basics: Reflux is a common issue in infants &amp; tends to gradually increase as they get stronger, peaking at 3-4 mo and subsiding after they learn to sit up. Most have stopped at a year.Nexium simply reduces acid production by stomach glands.The acid burns the lower swallow tube during reflux.It does not trigger gas. The pattern is following the natural course &amp; may need added help.

Question 10

is a toupet fundoplication a good option for refractive gerd not controlled with ppis and antacids despite diet changes?  are the side effects (gas, bloating, risk for dumping syndrome really high) from the surgery and possibly worse than the gerd?

Accepted Answer

GERD: The procedure is performed on patients who are not having a good quality of life inspite if maximum medical treatment and lifestyle modification. Long term benefit is not guaranteed although short and medium term benefit is generally reported by patients. Seems like you are aware of risks as well. Good luck
