Every Christmas, my teenage children eat and drink too many sweets and fizzy drinks — it’s hard to avoid them between school parties and visiting friends and relatives. Last year, my 10-year-old complained of having a stomach ache after gorging on a selection box. Is there a natural remedy I could have on standby in case the same happens again this year?
