SUMMER TUMMY TROUBLES

An estimated four million UK citizens regularly suffer with digestive discomfort such as trapped wind and bloating which can cause the stomach to swell making you feel uncomfortable and unattractive. People can be especially prone to these complaints in the summer, when they get out the BBQ and stock up on burgers and beer, or when abroad, when indulging in different food that can aggravate the tummy.

Trapped wind is caused by an excess of tiny air bubbles collecting in the stomach and bowels, causing pain, discomfort and bloating. As the air bubbles are tiny and plentiful, it is very difficult for them to disperse naturally. WindSetlers gel capsules, which contains activated dimeticone to break down the bubbles and provide relief for the sufferer.

According to a recent survey:

• 1 in 4 adults suffer with bloating after meals
• A third of adults have experienced the discomfort of heartburn
• 43% of British adults suffer with indigestion
