Poor digestion can cause various issues such as gas, bloating and abdominal pain. The cause may be poor dietary habits, certain types of foods, stress, or even anxiety.
For mild gas, ginger, chamomile and fennel seeds work very well.
Otherwise, consider doing a probiotic course for a month. Alongside this, a course of activated charcoal is also recommended.
What the science says: irritable bowel syndrome and bloating
What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context — the studies address material causes, healing belongs to Allah.
Irritable bowel syndrome and bloating
Peppermint essential oil in enteric-coated capsules relieves irritable bowel syndrome according to meta-analyses (Aliment Pharmacol Ther, 2022) (J Clin Gastroenterol, 2014); soluble fiber (psyllium) and probiotics have also proven effective (Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol, 2020) (Gastroenterology, 2023). Fennel, anise, cumin, and activated charcoal reduce gas. Precaution: keep charcoal away from medications (it absorbs them); blood in the stool, weight loss, or nighttime pain call for a medical evaluation.
