Do you suffer with excessive gas?
Quite a few of our patients complain of excess gas in their stomach and/or intestines. This manifests as burping, flatulence, and/or abdominal bloating. While it is normal to have some degree of gas, an excess of it is not only embarrassing, it can indicate problems which need to be dealt with.

6 signs your body is inflamed (and what to do about it)
If you are interested in improving your health, you have probably read about inflammation. It seems that nearly every article about health problems these days refers to inflammation. This makes sense because when you look at nearly every illness, inflammation is an initiator and driver of the disease process. What exactly is inflammation? Inflammation is the way our body responds to injury. We can usually tell a part of our body is inflamed when it is red, hot, swollen and we can’t move it properly. Think of a stubbed toe or a sprained ankle. Inflammation is present in all ‘itis’ conditions, such as arthritis, hepatitis, bursitis and many others. However, inflammation can also occur inside our body in a much more silent way, where we don’t even know it is happening. Fatigue and pain are classic indicators that there’s too much inflammation in your body. Actually your body will give you several clues. It is important to pay attention to these signs because if not addressed, they may spell future health problems.
