Flat coke may be the cure for Kate Middleton’s morning sickness

katemiddletonThere is a high probability that Kate Middleton will experience the same morning sickness as with her first pregnancy, say Alison Edwards – Senior Lecturer in Midwifery at Birmingham City University. In fact she has had to cancel some of her engagements already because of her acute morning sickness.

 

“Though there is an increased chance due to having the excessive sickness before she may well have an entirely different experience this time with little or no sickness.  Though there is no ‘cure’ for morning sickness (and certainly not hyperemesis) there are steps that can be taken to try to settle the unpleasant symptoms.”

 

“Though there are few sources of scientific evidence to support any ‘remedies’, making sure fluid intake is maintained is a priority. Flat coke has been found to help here as can arrowroot or ginger. Some women swear by travel bands.  Small low fat meals can help and avoiding anything spicy.  If the symptoms become excessive then medical advice must be sought as there are medications that can reduce the sickness and nausea; these do need prescribing however.

 

“Excessive morning sickness can make women unwell and certainly miserable, so plenty of support and rest are vital, especially if admission to hospital is required as Kate was last year. There are also support groups set up by women who have experienced hyperemesis.”

We get sent a lot of stuff to review at Frost but these were a particular favourite because they really work. Take four a day and, hello!, flat tummy. They also leave you feeling healthier and less bloated. You can take two a day but we prefer to take four. They taste great, like mints and are incredibly convenient. Good stuff, highly recommended.

So, you’ve got your bikini, beach bag and towel, and can’t wait for a day in the sun, but bloating is stopping you from feeling bikini ready, so here’s a solution…

Elifexir Flat Tummy plus® is a revolutionary food supplement that reduces bloating and aids digestion, making it the perfect healthy dietary addition to achieve the ultimate bikini body.

This handy prebiotic contains fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) which help to multiply the good bacteria in the gut, helping to ease bloatedness. Added peppermint oil gives the supplement its delicious minty flavour, making it a pleasant refreshment when taken twice a day after meals.

Elifexir Flat Tummy plus® can be used to ease everyday bloating and discomfort, in addition to a dietary aid to achieve personal body and fitness goals. Whether you want to look your best at the beach or just want to feel on top form, pop a pack in your handbag and be ready to face the day.

Good probiotics that will help top up your good bacteria, aid your digestive health and support your immune system.

Sharon Morey, Nutritionist from Quest Vitamins says ‘Our numbers of ‘friendly’ bacteria in the gut can be reduced for many reasons, including poor diet, use of antibiotics, and one-off infections such as gastroenteritis. A ‘top-up’ can therefore be helpful to support our immune system as well as our digestive health.’ Immune System Biotix contains 20 billion lactobacilli or good bacteria, an excellent level that is higher than many individual probiotic supplements on the market!

Immune System Biotix is £15.83 (for a month’s supply) available from all good health stores and www.questexcellence.com

E’lifexir Flat Tummy plus

E’lifexir Flat Tummy plus

This handy prebiotic contains fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), which are soluble fibres naturally found in fruits, vegetables and cereals. The FOS are not absorbed by the body and therefore reach the intestines unchanged. Here they are fermented by the good bacteria in the gut, which then multiply and flourish to help ease bloatedness and a bulging belly. The addition of peppermint oil will also leave breath smelling fresh, allowing you to look, feel and smell great. They are very handy.

E’lifexir Flat Tummy plus® costs £9.99 for a month’s supply, and is available in UK and Ireland from Holland & Barrett nationwide and www.hollandandbarrett.com.
