Fruits and veggies will kill you (not literally, but you'll feel like dying) if you have to avoid fiber.  I have the same problem so i know what I'm talking about.\n\nIf you are having a hard time digesting food and have a lot of pain, try full liquids for a few days for some gut rest.  Tomato soup, cream of potato, milkshakes, smoothies all should be OK.  If you have a food processor, you can puree your fruits to make them digestible, avoid fruits with seeds like raspberries.\n\nFor a regular diet, I suggest lean fish and chicken, pasta, cooked potatoes, mac and cheese, V8 juice, etc.  until your digestive system stabilizes.\n\nDo exactly what you doctor says.  Treatments are available for these types of diseases, but you have to allow time for the meds to work.  If you have further questions, email me anytime.

Not really,it is good for digestion though because of the enzyme bromelin.It is high in calories and sugar,and should be portion controlled,you should use the whole fruit rather then the juice,because it is extremely high in sugar content.It does not have any magic fat burning properties.Stick to veggie juices instead.

Histidine \n\nBotanical \n  Herbal Combinations  Bitter herbs are thought to stimulate digestive function by increasing saliva production and promoting both stomach acid and digestive enzyme production. As a result, they are particularly used when there is low stomach acid but not in cases of heartburn or too much stomach acid. \n\nThese herbs taste bitter, thus the name. Some examples of bitter herbs include greater celandine, wormwood, and gentian. Bitters are generally taken either by mixing 1–3 ml tincture into water and sipping slowly 10–30 minutes before eating, or by making tea, which is also sipped slowly before eating. There are many combination products available from your health food store.\n\nA more comprehensive list would include andrographis, artichoke, barberry, bitter melon, bitter orange, blessed thistle, boldo, centaury, dandelion, devil’s claw, elecampane, gentian, goldenseal, greater celandine, horehound, juniper, Oregon grape, picrorhiza, prickly ash, vervain, wormwood, yarrow and yellow dock. \n\n  Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum frutescens)  Capsaicin, the active ingredient in cayenne, is believed to assist digestion by stimulating the flow of both salvia and stomach secretions. One or two capsules of cayenne pepper taken before meals stimulates hunger also. \n \n\nDiet \n  Therapeutic Fasting  Fasting gives the digestive system a needed break from the nearly constant effort that is required to process what we swallow. Unless we have been eating very healthfully, and sometimes even if we have, fasting will provide a period of rest to allow digestive rejuvenation to occur. \n\n  Juices / Juicing  A juice fast gives the digestive tract a rest from its heavy responsibilities, and strengthens a digestive weakness. \n\n  Vinegar  Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice taken with meals mildly stimulates hydrochloric acid production.

drinking tons of water can help. also drinking cranberry juice helps tons! Cran-grape juice is much better tasting than cranberry in my opinion...

Maybe not a serious problem now but your body may be warning you that you are not getting the nutrients you need. When your body has the fuel to do the things it needs to do disease rarely gets in the way, when we aren't eating or digesting correctly illness which is always ready to pounce will find us. I suggest adding foods with omega vitamins in them, these help our skin, hair and muscles heal and function properly. Nuts, fish and flax-seed oil are great sources of the nutrient. If your problem lies in digestion, fiber is the way to go. Fiber aids all of digestion because it absorbs water and ushers out waste and toxins. Fiber is easy to find in wheat flour, brown rice and hearty green vegetables. I can also recommend a great daily multi vitamin that will increase energy and digestion. It contains all the herbs and minerals to do the trick. let me know if you want more info, email any time.

yes, chewing helps ur digestive system break it down faster and thereby absorb it into the bloodstream faster. it will just take a little longer to 'get into' your system but its fine, no harm

it's good but try to vary your juices.\n\norange, grapefruit, cranberry, lemon, mixes... make sure they're not from concentrate.\n\n:D\n\npotassium, vitamin c...  most juices are enablers of not only hydration and essential minerals but some are very good laxatives.\n\nsome help break up lipids and juice is also good help the body remove toxins.

In humans, digestion begins in the mouth where food is chewed (mastication) with the teeth. The process stimulates exocrine glands in the mouth to release digestive enzymes such as salivary amylase, which aid in the breakdown of food, particularly carbohydrates. Chewing (mechanical) also causes the release of saliva, which helps condense food into a bolus that can be easily passed through the oesophagus. The oesophagus is about 20 centimeters long. The food is pushed down by a movement called peristalsis, which is the wave-like contraction of smooth muscle tissue, characteristic of the digestive system.\n\nThe food enters the stomach upon passage through the cardiac sphincter. In the stomach, food is churned and thoroughly mixed with a digestive fluid, composed chiefly of hydrochloric acid, and other digestive enzymes to further decompose it chemically for a few hours. As the acidic level changes in the stomach and later parts of the digestive tract, more enzymes are activated or deactivated to extract and process various nutrients.\n\nAfter being processed in the stomach, food is passed to the small intestine via peristalsis. This is where most of the digestive process occurs. It passes through the pyloric sphincter and enters the first 10 inches of the small intestine, the duodenum, where it is further mixed with 3 different liquids, which are bile (which helps aid in fat digestion, otherwise known as emulsification), pancreatic juice (made by the pancreas), and intestinal juice. They also add several enzymes: maltase, lactase and sucrase, to process sugars. Trypsin and chymotrypsin are other enzymes added in the small intestine. (Bile also contains pigments that are by-products of red blood cell destruction in the liver; these bile pigments are eliminated from the body with the feces.) Most nutrient absorption takes place in the small intestine. The nutrients pass through the small intestine's wall, containing small, finger-like structures called villi. The blood, which has absorbed nutrients, is carried away from the small intestine via the hepatic portal vein and goes to the liver for filtering, removal of toxins, and nutrient processing.\n\nAfter going through the small intestine, the food then goes to the large intestine. The large intestine has 3 parts: the cecum (or pouch that forms the T-junction with the small intestine), the colon, and the rectum. In the large intestine, water is reabsorbed, and the foods that cannot go thorugh the villi such as fiber, can be stored in large intestine. Fiber helps to keep the food moving through the G.I. tract. The food that cannot be broken down is called feces. Feces is stored in the rectum until it is expelled through the anus.

I HATE STUPID SARCASTIC ANSWERS!  \n\nTry eating a little something with your wine.  Cheese, a couple of crackers, not much, just little finger foods.  I love wine and it does the same to me.  I went to a wine sampling event and they served small snack type foods and it made a world of difference.  It also improved the taste of wines.  \n\nTry the link below to match up some foods with your choice of wine.

I just went thru diabetes classes and they covered this. The amounts recommended for red wine is:\n\nMen--two 4 oounce glasses daily\nWomen--one 5 ounce glass daily\n\nRed wine will raise HDL cholesterol (the good choldesterol). BUT, if you have high triglycerides (200 or more), then you should NOT have red wine, or any alcohol. It will be more damaging at that point than helpful.

Here is a good article for you - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestive_system.

You're right to stay away from the commercial products.  The easiest way to relieve bloatedness is to drink a couple of tablespoons of vinegar.  You can mix it with honey to make it easier on the taste buds.  It's also great for a sore throat as it disinfects the throat.  (It has a high acid content that kills bad bacteria and adds to the hydrochloric acid in your stomach to help you to digest your food).

Drinking is good for you as it helps digestion and recovers the loss of fluid in your body that you lose each day. Just make sure you are drinking plenty of water as opposed to flavoured drinks. Flavoured drinks are high in calories and sugar and hence increase weight. \n\nTry to avoid drinking anything that is not natural. Soft drinks have a bad impact on your body whether it is diet or not. Juices are really high in carbs and calories so unless you have one freshly made vegie juice try to avoid fruit juices. Milk drinks should be limited to one per day and skim is the preferred option. \n\nI tend to drink green tea after main meals as it is good for your metabolism and reduces feeling bloated.  \n\nOverall, if you exercise you need to replace fluid in your body so try to drink 3 litres of water.

There are SOO many different kinds of reds. I'll list the simplest kinds for you, lightest to most full-bodied....\n\nPinot Noir\nShiraz\nMediterranean Reds (typically table reds)\nRed Zinfandel\nMerlot\nCabernet\n\nKeep in mind that there are far far far more than I have listed, but this will give you a general idea. As far as reducing your cholesterol, although it is true red wine contains an antioxidant that prevents the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, there are risks connected with excessive alcohol intake. Higher intakes of vegetables, whole grains, fish and olive oil may achieve the same heart healthy benefit without the risk. Besides, alcohol actually increases the risk of other potential killers including cancer.\n\nDryness of a wine (tannines) deals only with taste. The longer the skins of the grape are left in the fermenter or the aging barrel, the drier the wine. Just find what tastes good to you.
