I have been singing the praises of Manuka honey for years. It literally saved my quality of life. I have told the story before so I will be brief here, I was sick with stomach nausea for at least 5 to 8 years. It would come and go but basically, I was sick to my stomach most of the time. I tried everything! and nothing the Dr prescribed did anything but temporarily mask the problem. My friend who worked at a health food store mentioned to me that this stuff had healing properties and that I should try it. It makes sense that if it does heal it goes the entire route of the digestive system. It was like balm on burn to me. I started out eating it right out of the jar buying one a week for a while. This was hard because it was and still is quite expensive. Then after a while I was buying one every two weeks and finally now, I only use it when needed. Whatever was wrong in my gut it totally cured me. Anytime now that I get the slightest twinge of this returning, I start back on it. I can't say enough about this wonderful gift from the bees. I have since helped a few friends with intestinal issues and they have had similar results. One friend was diagnosed with Crone's disease and after using Manuka and returning for a checkup the Dr pronounced her misdiagnosed. I believe she was cured from the honey. If you have a problem, it is worth a try, nothing works for everything, but I would much rather try a jar of natural honey as opposed to meds that have possible side effects and just cover the pain.
