The Grilled Rx To Ease Stomach Woes!
Do you suffer from indigestion, gas or stomach aches?
Well, believe it or not, you can cut your risks of one or all three ailments
by eating more corn.
Corn? Yes, although it gets a bad rap as a high starchy food, it contains B vitamins,
(like inositol), and this B vitamin speeds the intestinal motility and revs the production
of digestion by up to 25%.
And if you grow tire of eating corn on the cob or corn as a side dish, buy up some
corn from your local grocery store or Farmers’ market and use it to make the delicious
casserole dish listed below.
The casserole:
Bacon-Kissed Creamy Corn Casserole!
As the weather gets colder, many of us will be making all kinds of soups, stews and
casseroles.

1/2 tsp. of paprika
1 bunch of scallions
