Try eating some papaya. The fruit contains an enzyme called papain – which has been shown to reduce bloat, gas, gastrointestinal upset and constipation. It soothes the digestive tract, and speeds up digestion by helping to break down protein.

Grab some oregano! It contains the digestion-boosting plant compound ursolic acid – which speeds food from the stomach to the intestines faster… And helps reduce gas production.
Your best bet: Sprinkle a tablespoon of fresh oregano on grilled vegetables or potatoes. Or add a teaspoon of dried oregano to olive oil and parmesan cheese to make a pesto sauce for pasta.

You may not need a pill or tablet to relieve your indigestion. A teaspoon of straight olive oil could do the trick. Research from Bastyr University in Washington has found it can soothe an upset stomach in 15 minutes. That’s because olive oil contains anti-inflammatory compounds that aid digestion enzymes and bile. In fact, consuming 2 tablespoons of olive oil a day – like in salad dressing or on roasted vegetables – can help alleviate chronic gastrointestinal pain in 3 weeks.
