Favorite Things: Pathway Digase
by Paula Gallagher | November 21, 2011
There are many things to be thankful for this coming Thanksgiving, but one thing that I will definitely be grateful for is Pathway Digase. Why? Digase is a combination of enzymes that help break down food in order to make it easier to digest. Doesn’t that sound good especially after a BIG Thanksgiving meal? I take a couple right before I start to eat and sometimes I even take two more afterwards if I have seconds of pumpkin pie. (And who are we kidding, of course I have seconds.)
You don’t have to wait for big holiday meals to reap the benefits of digestive enzymes. Taking one before each meal can help the digestive process. Some people find that their stomach becomes a little upset after eating foods like beans or broccoli. Pathway Digase may help ease some of that discomfort.
So before you dig into your second helping of sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping (who ever thought of that?), sit back and take two Pathway Digase tablets for a more comfortable Thanksgiving meal.
And here is one more thing to be thankful for – Pathway Digase is 35% off right now!

Gluten-Free Diet: Trend or Necessity
by Paula Gallagher | September 14, 2010
Chelsea Clinton had a gluten-free cake at her recent nuptials. Word is that she has a gluten allergy. Elizabeth Hasselback blamed her infertility on gluten. Wheat allergy or not, “gluten-free” is definitely a buzzword that really stands out. Gluten is the protein that is found primarily in wheat, rye, barley and oats, and hidden in a wide variety of processed and prepared foods. Because gluten is hard to digest, it can wreak havoc on our bodies causing symptoms that range from fatigue, bloating and gas to malabsorption of nutrients, infertility and even osteoporosis.
While some people are going gluten-free to help them lose weight, many make the switch out of necessity. Determining whether you have celiac disease or are just sensitive to gluten can mean the difference between eliminating gluten from your diet for the rest of your life, or just cutting back on the amount of gluten you consume. So what’s the difference between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity? Celiac is a hereditary autoimmune disease with no known cure, except eliminating all gluten from your diet. (more…)
New Warning About Heartburn Medications
by Margo Gladding | August 25, 2010
Heartburn is one of the most common GI problems in America. It is a condition where stomach acid is regurgitated up into the esophagus giving rise to symptoms such as chest discomfort, wheezing, asthma, hiccups, and hoarseness. Acid reflux can cause damage to the lining of the esophagus and should be taken seriously.
Heartburn medications are widely available, both by prescription and over-the-counter. They work by blocking stomach acid from being produced. As a result, they disrupt the body’s ability to absorb calcium, along with other important minerals, vitamins, and amino acids. High doses of these medications or duration of use longer than 1 year have been associated with an increased risk of fractures to the hip, wrist and spine. This concern has led to a recent FDA announcement that popular heartburn medications such as Prevacid, Prilosec, and Nexium will now come with a warning linking them to an increased risk for fractures. The FDA has also advised that the over-the-counter proton pump inhibitors (Prevacid, Prilosec, and Zegerid) should only be taken for a maximum of 14 days. (more…)
