Do Stacker Diet Pills Really Work?
Stacker 2 diet pills are herbal dietary supplements promoted for weight loss. NVE Pharmaceuticals, which makes Stacker 2 and similar over-the-counter weight loss supplements, uses caffeine as this supplement’s active ingredient. Caffeine probably won’t give you the weight loss results you want, says the Center for Science in the Public Interest, or CSPI. And another ingredient in Stacker 2, bitter orange, may be unsafe to use.
Which Foods Make Breastfed Babies Gassy?
Many people think that certain “gassy” foods a nursing mom eats will cause her baby to have gas. But, according to Kelly Bonyata, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, this widespread notion is not founded in actual research. There is no definitive list of what breastfeeding moms should eat, because each baby has different food reactions. Breast milk is made from the substances that pass through a mother’s bloodstream, not her gastrointestinal tract or stomach. Foods that are gassy for a mom have no real effects on her baby. Even though this is true, whatever a mom eats still can affect her baby. Some babies have food sensitivities that can result in gas, rashes, colic and excessive spit-up. Moms can go on an elimination diet to determine which foods bother her baby by forgoing one “fuss food” at a time. Some babies have gas no matter what their moms do, and there is no need to worry as long as they aren’t in pain or showing other signs of food sensitivities. Babies have immature digestive systems that will improve with time.
