Explanation Of Possible Digestive Issues
re: problem with digestion I think.
I will try my best to explain my issue. I feel like I am full of air in my upper abdomen all the time, really bloated, Then when I lay down at night I have pains in my heart area, I have been to the DR a number of times and they have ruled out heart issues, but they never seem to want to go further. Sometimes my heart feels like it's fluttering or slowing down then speeding up, for that I take calcium and magnesium. It seems to help. Sometime when I take pills they seem to get stuck and then my chest hurts again.... Could there be a problem with my esophogus? (spelling) I wonder if I am having reactions to foods like starches for instance. I think my next step is to completely stop all foods that my give me a reaction...I am just groping in the dark as I am at a complete loss as to what to do....any suggestions???? And I'm 48 yrs old, overweight, but nothing else that I am aware of.

Hi Kathy,
I have the same problems! And no one listens to me either. I don't have any solutions for you, I just wanted you to know you're not alone.
I haven't been able to successfully swallow capsules for decades now. They feel like they're stuck in my throat. My husband insisted it was just in my imagination, until one day while I was speaking, about a half hour after taking capsules, powder was flying out of my mouth. Nothing helps. I even try eating nuts or an apple after the capsules, but they still don't go down. I also drink tons of water. I've recently been told that I have low hydrocloric acid (not by a doctor). I have a very dry mouth, despite all the water. I'm about to try the ACV suggestions on this site. My heart flutters often, and I just had my first attack of atrial fibrillation which lasted 3 hours and scared me to death. I do take magnesium.... I thought maybe it was anti-parasite herbs I started taking as part of a colon cleanse. Oh my, the body is a puzzlement!

Kathy you may be low in thyroid. Try thyroid glandulars (porcine), lots of coconut oil, potassium iodide - to rev up your thyroid and increase your BMR. Cut carbs, try a high protein/high saturated fat (organic, cold pressed and if animals, from pastured animals only).
Avoid estrogenic foods such as soy.
