Eat at least five portions a day. Make sure you include plenty of variety
so you won't become bored with your diet.
Both coffee, tea and fruit juices can irritate those with a sensitive
gut so try and have plenty of water in diluted cordials or juices instead.
This should be in addition to fruit and vegetables. These include brown
rice, sweetcorn, porridge oats, granary bread, lentils, nuts and seeds.
If you have a grain intolerance or take a gluten free diet then make sure
you substitute other fibre-rich foods in your daily diet.
If you are feeling stressed and feel this is the root of your digestive
problem, it is important to identify what is causing that stress and how
best you can reduce it.
Even a brisk walk for half an hour a day will motivate a sluggish digestive
system. It may seem painful at first but the benefits of regular exercise
are numerous. Choose something to suit your lifestyle and add some variety
so that you don't lose interest or get bored with the routine.
