Thank you lotus and surfer. Loads of starting points for me. I can feel gas moving and colon spasms after i eat. The health shop gave me a candida blend NOT that ive had any yeast issues or infections ever which is why i discounted that but they think it could be in my GI tract
Having to give up booze will be the hardest but possibly a godsend also!

I was thinking of trying chlorella too? Any feedback on that?

Again thank you all for your suggestions x

Ya I used to have endless debilitating allergies which I've suppressed with antioxidants for years. So I'm uniquely dependent on having an antioxidant that works. I have used chlorella and it worked. The only thing is I don't remember how much I used. I have also used spirulina and for spirulina the amount is 10-20 grams. Though I've heard of studies using 8 grams and you need to gradually introduce smaller amounts. So beware of pills of any health food. It's hard to beat spinach, for example, and would you take dried spinach pills or would you laugh at them?

Alcohol is ok in moderation unless you have severe liver problems. Thiamine (B1) and antioxidants are good to clear it out after. Thiamine for the enzyme that breaks down alcohol in the liver and antioxidants to prevent liver damage from detox.
