QuestionI was diagnosed with B12 deficiency 3 months ago and am currently taking injections. I had surgery on my stomach 2 years that fixed my asofogus (Acid Reflux). My stomach is EXTRA sensitive to fresh fruit, multi vitamins, raw vegetables, etc. Is there a multi vitamin for those of us who have very sensitive stomachs. And any diet suggestions.
Also when I walk for exercise my stomach hurts worse the following day. And type of excersise upsets it. I used to run dailey till 10 years ago when the condition developed. What would be a good alternative. Yoga, Tai Chi?
AnswerHello Todd!
Thank you for your nutrition question. There is a supplement called Juice Plus which I recommend to my patients who have an extra sensitive stomach. It comes in capsule or chewable form and is contains all the necessary nutrients needed for good health. It can be purchased from my website at http://www.juiceblend.com I highly recommend this for you as a nutritionist.
As for other diet suggestions, it is a good idea to keep a journal of foods which seem to upset your stomach the most and avoid these foods. Also eat regular, well-spaced meals and avoid excessive snacking to reduce the number of times stomach acid is produced. Another suggestion is to avoid eating just before bedtime to reduce nighttime secretion of stomach acid.
Learning to relax with yoga would be excellent because it teaches you how to control stress which can contribute to an upset stomach. I would also recommend that you check out http://www.desktopspa.com which contains relaxation exercises that you can perform right here online free of charge after you have registered. Hope this helps.
