This list is adapted from Gut and Psychology Syndrome.  I strongly recommend this book to anyone dealing with chronic health issues.  Some of the items listed may surprise you!

  1. Cold pressed oils: olive oil, fish oils, nut and seed oils.
  2. Fresh eggs (free-range organic), particularly raw egg yolk.
  3. Onions and garlic.
  4. Freshly pressed vegetable and fruit juices. Juiceman juicer
  5. Eating greens regularly:  parsley, dill, coriander, spring onion, and garlic
  6. Probiotic Supplementation and fermented foods.
  7. Contact with animals: horses, dogs, etc. Having a pet is very beneficial to a child's immunity.
  8. Physical activity outside in fresh air.
  9. Swimming in unpolluted natural waters: lakes, rivers, and sea.
  10. Exposure to sunlight and sensible sunbathing (helps you make vitamin D).

Healing Food List: What to Eat When You Feel Tired and Bloated

If you are like me, you may often suffer from bloating and exhaustion.  This is particularly true for when I eat pasta and bread.  In my search for holistic solutions, I have been inspired by a couple of books that I am studying:  Gut and Psychology Syndrome and Signs and Symptoms Analysis.  Both books contain lists of foods that are helpful to anyone suffering from digestive disorders.  How do you know that you have digestive problems?  One sign is that you may feel bloated and tired immediately after eating a food that contributes to the inflammation of your digestive tract.  Here is a list of Harmful and Helpful Foods.  I keep it on my refridgerator to help me stay on track:
