DIGESTIVE
HEALTH AND DISORDERS
Common digestive disorders that can be helped:
Acid Reflux
Constipation
Diarrhea
Bloating and gas
Stomach or intestinal pain
Allergic responses to foods
Indigestion
The digestive system is undeniably important in that what we eat and absorb will affect our health. Incomplete digestion
and absorption can lead to chronic disease processes. With the proper testing and treatment, symptoms and digestive disorders
can heal.
Gastrointestinal Tract
Fifty to seventy percent of the immune system is found in the gastrointestinal
(GI) tract (small and large intestines). If there is a digestive disorder (bacteria,virus, yeast, parasites, maldigestion),
the immune function in the GI tract can be hampered. This can start a chain reaction: 1. the digestive disorder creates an
immune weakness making the GI tract susceptible to infections, 2. due to immune weakness the body forms antigens against foods,
3. allergies can increase and can cause an autoimmune inflammatory process to begin either in the digestive tract or in other
organs and tissues in the body. We specialize in testing and treating digestive problems.
