Digestive Disorders

Good digestion is essential for the proper break down of meals and assimilation of nutrients which are required for vital health. Digestive disorders can start at a young age and persist for decades. They can be a constant source of discomfort and frustration, affecting quality of life and social interactions, while also leading to anxiety, eating disorders, chronic inflammation and further body imbalances. There is growing research showing the importance of a healthy, balanced digestive tract and the influence that digestive disorders can have on multiple health conditions.

What can poor digestion and/or a digestive disorder look like?

Constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux, abdominal pain, changeable stools, discomfort, gas, bloating, slow digestion, belching, blood in the stool, mucus in the stool, vomiting, nausea, dark stool, stools that float, pain after eating, indigestion, and hemorrhoids.

What is considered "normal"? deally you will have at least 1-3 well formed, easy to pass bowel movements per day, usually after each meal. You will be free from chronic gas, abdominal pain, indigestion, bloating, or reflux.
