Anti-Gas Formula (with Lobelia) - formerly AG-X
The stresses of modern-day living can easily unbalance the delicate digestive system, bringing unpleasant side-effects. Two such effects are excessive gas and bloating. One of the causes is swallowing air with a hurried meal, since eating while under emotional tension tends to "lock up" the whole digestive mechanism, and the food may begin to spoil in an environment in which millions of bacteria can multiply out of control. people, especially as they age, make less and less, especially if they are using antacids. A prime suspect in stomach ulcers is a stomach-invading bacteria. Attacking the bacteria gets to the root of the problem. Acid reflux is a common health problem with stress at its roots. If one chooses not to deal with the stress they will need digestive support with formulas for acid reflux.
