DYSPEPTICS XEED XOT DIET. A SIMPLE MEANS' OF PREVENTING FOOD FERMENTATION. Food fermentation is the cause of nil tin* discomfort unci pain dyspeptics suffer. Jt docs not necessarily follow, however, that in order to obtain relief they must deny themselves, the enjoyment they derive from eating so-called indigestible luxuries. The most, satisfactory method of overcoming the difficulty would be to prevent the fermentation at all. and this can he done by a very simple means. It must first be "explained that most of the foods we eat contain a certain quantity of acid-form-ing elements, and indigestible foods, of course, contain a larger proportion. When these foods are eaten, the acid collects, irritates the. walls of tile stomach, and causes the food to ferment while it is digesting. This fermenting food also gives off gas which distends the stomach, causing that full, uncomfortable feeling so often noticed after eating. The root of the trouble is the acid fermentation. To successfully prevent the fermentation, this acidity must he neutralised, and for this purpose ordinary bisurated magnesia has been found most valuable. Try half a teaspoonful in a quarter glass (if warm water after eating, and see how quickly it will relieve any signs of fermentation. A second should be taken later in cases where (he acidity is greater, ,and the discomfort returns. Any chemist will supply you with bisurated magnesia, and if yon always carry sonic you can eat what food you wish and have no fear of inconvenience. Be sure yon gel, bisurated magnesia, as this is the only form that effectively neutralises the acid and at the same time may be used regularly without harmful after-effects.
