Everything in Moderation!!

Good evening lovelies.. Since day before yesterday, my stomach has been bloated and it hurts like hell.. I cannot sit or stand or even breath without having a sharp pain in my stomach and also chest. My right side of the body is fine but the pain is in the left side exactly below my heart and thus I concluded this as Gastric issues and bloating. I just couldn't drink even one sip of water without moaning in pain or talk or walk like a normal person....

Adding to the misery, I also started my menstruation today and all the pain is too much to handle along with house work and social media etc.. I have been trying to be active since yesterday as I spent a good amount reading your posts but today is too much, it hurts everywhere and I just said "screw it" and took rest... I made breakfast today and hubby cooked lunch giving me some free time to rest. So thankful for having an understanding partner.

I took meds and drank some homemade drink that my Mother taught me through phone and now I'm way better compared to yesterday's pain. I'm a vigilant person when it comes to food from my childhood and do not eat anything junk in large quantities... I have thyroid since 2001.. so naturally, am very strict when it comes to eating good quality food.. I'm never a pizza/burger/chips/fries kind of girl.. I eat local foods and our regional healthy snacks all the time...

and I have been eating an Indian snack called "Gegulu" (English name: Palmyra Sprout) that looks like below pic or lead image, they are the roots of some kind of palm trees and they have massive amounts of fiber in them and rich sources of beat carotene that helps for vision improvement.. which help human bodies to relieve constipation as well because of the fiber levels. They also help in controlling diabetes or preventing diabetes to not happen... They are peeled and boiled with some salt and eaten as a snack..

HOWEVER, I have been eating them too much as they are simply natural plant made food and thus my stomach couldn't digest massive amounts of fiber at once, causing lot of bloating at once. I usually drink a herbal liquid every night after I eat these, but I still got bloated, so that ya'll can understand how much I have eaten them hahaha... Goes to show you, even if the food is healthy, you have to always eat everything in moderation.... as some good quality foods can also cause harm if not eaten less... My mom scolded me and asked me to stop eating them at least for solid 2 weeks from now.. Moms know better..

Let me know if you guys has suffered any issues even after eating healthy foods.. because it happens to a lot of people as we all are kinda aging and we need aid regarding digestion. What do you people practice for good digestion, I especially want to hear from people who eat meat everyday.. what are your techniques, please share... Mine are, drinking mint juice.. or eating a spoonful of fennel seeds.. or making mint ginger tea and drinking it.. or lemon juice with salt. etc., what are your home remedies for good digestion?

Thanks guys, stay healthy all of you.. lemme flex my spons now
