Can garlic help prevent gas?

It can; garlic, and its cousins the leek and onion, are high in inulin, a pro-biotic soluble fiber in the form of a fructose polymer that is indigestible by the human starch enzymes amylase and ptyalin; it passes straight through the human digestive system, unless digested by something else along the way. if it is digested by bacteria in the colon, gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen may be produced as a result. many cultures that ingest large quantities of onion, leek and garlic report that these spices cause gas. it is possible that their unique gut bacteria cultures are digesting the inulin that human digestive enzymes leave behind, promoting their growth and causing gas as a byproduct. it's worth noting that garlic, leek and onion are widely considered to be beneficial herbs that stimulate good health in the cultures where they are widely used. one hypothesis is, this is because their high inulin content stimulates probiotic growth.

Could giddiness pins-and-needles jumbled thoughts an urgent need for a bowel movement and feeling sick all be linked to a brain tumor?

Hi Julie, well to answer this question with out some proper tests is difficult, so get yourself of to the doctors and get some tests done. One test I think you should ask for is for epilepsy. There are many types of epilepsy, some we dont even notice as the episodes are so fast, we are not aware of them......anyhow, they can be fixed with medication. eg: Grand mal seizure symptoms : follow a burst of electrical charges that travel throughout motor areas, spreading to several areas of the brain. This can cause a lack of consciousness that can be lengthy or so quick that it almost goes unnoticed and appears simply as a twitch. Spasms occur in muscles of the arms and legs. The attacks can also cause the loss of urinary or bowel control. An epileptic, after experiencing a grand mal fit may be disorientated and confused for a short period of time. Not saying that this is what you have, but certainly worth looking into.

Hi Julie

Many things can make you feel this way, and these are also the signs of stress. It is very important that you see your doctor for some testing on your thyroid (get a T3 T4 blood test) and a few other tests to rule out any health risks. Hormone changes can also cause these feelings. If you are 38 on you could be in peri menopause, and 40 up you could be into your menopause. There are studies done that women are going into peri menopause much earlier than normal.

Please see your doctor and get those tests done and if all comes back well, them please try to lower any stress you may have in your life. Also a good diet, plenty of water and good exercise. These seem like simple things, but they make the world of difference.

What is the correct bath water temperature to soak in for hemorrhoids?

You can use either warm or cool water as you comfortable with.

The way that the Sitz bath works is by altering the blood flow to the area you are immersing in water.If an area of skin is getting too hot, the body increases the amount of blood flowing through that area to carry heat away. In the same way if an area is too cold, the body will stop excess heat loss by shunting blood away from that area.
