43% of Brits Suffer Digestive Issues - Dr Hilary Jones Shares a Natural Remedy
Abdominal pain, diarrhoea, heartburn, constipation and flatulence affects 43% of the UK population but hardly anyone talks openly about the symptoms. TV Expert Dr Hilary Jones sees this first hand in his clinic and recommends Manuka Doctor Manuka honey.
“Manuka honey can have a positive effect on gastrointestinal disorders due to its extremely high content of methylglyoxal, MGO for short. This special substance has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects that have been proven and scientifically recognised. Laboratory experiments have even shown that methylglyoxal is not only antimicrobial but can even be effective against multi-resistant germs.”
Stomach Ulcers
Research has found Manuka honey’s natural antibacterial action may have a role in fighting H.pylori, the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers. It is also known to be an effective prebiotic, boosting levels of a strain of lactobacillus, also protecting against stomach ulcers - a double pronged action.
Food Poisoning
Manuka honey’s antibacterial effect also works well against one of the main bugs that causes serious food poisoning. Clostridium difficile – usually shortened to c. difficle – causes diarrhoea and other unpleasant and sometimes severe symptoms. Manuka honey inhibits the growth of bacteria.
IBD Symptoms
Manuka honey can be effective in reducing inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Research suggests its anti-inflammatory properties could potentially benefit individuals, particularly those with ulcerative colitis, by reducing inflammation and improving antioxidant activity.
IBS Symptoms
Manuka honey is known to be an effective prebiotic, boosting levels of friendly bacteria lactobacillus in the intestine leading to a healthy microbiome, shown to support the immune system and improve digestive health, easing diarrhoea and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
