If you follow my blogs, you know that as a diabetic I constantly talk about cinnamon being a blood-sugar stabilizer. But I haven't often mentioned that cinnamon is also good for your stomach and digestive system. Cinnamon has been used for generations to treat problems such as morning sickness and diarrhea. But most fail to realize that cinnamon is also effective in breaking up gas bubbles. I have a problem with gas since I have had parts of my digestive system removed. When I started really increasing the cinnamon in my diet to help stabilize my blood sugar, I found another good side effect- less gas. As I researched cinnamon, I discovered it does break up gas bubbles!
While most often thought of as a spice to be used in sweets, think cinnamon rolls, apple pie, etc, cinnamon can also be used on savory foods such as chicken, etc. If cinnamon isn't currently a part of your diet on a regular basis, consider adding it more often.
