Digestive Dysfunction

The ease of digestion, assimilation and excretion of food is a reflection of whole body wellness.

Digestive disorders are common diseases that often originate in the food supply. Diet revision should be the primary therapy. The gastrointestinal tract is a sensing, reactive device which monitors the material flowing through it. Symptoms arising from this system provide information about its dysfunction. Seven basic symptoms alert you to the gastrointestinal tract's displeasure with your food choices - nausea, heartburn, vomiting, bloating, pain, constipation and diarrhea.

Regular bowel function is essential to maintain a healthy digestive tract and overall wellbeing. Constipation or irregular bowel motions can cause bloating and abdominal discomfort, and lead to reabsorption of toxins into the body contributing to skin problems, headaches, hormonal imbalance and decreased vitality.

Maintaining healthy populations of beneficial gut bacteria (eg Lactobacillus acidophilus) and ensuring regular bowel function is important for digestive and systemic health. The balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut can be disrupted by antibiotic use, excessive intake of sugar and refined, processed foods, stress and impaired immune function. This can lead to digestive complaints such as bloating, bowel irregularity and constipation.
