Healthy digestion is the foundation for good health. Digestive complaints are very common and can include gas, bloating, reflux, indigestion, constipation or diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
More serious digestive disorders include gastritis, stomach ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, cholecystitis (inflammation and infection of the gallbladder), proctitis (inflammation of the anal canal) and hepatitis.
Some common causes of digestive complaints are infection and/or dysbiosis (an imbalance of healthy-to-harmful bacteria), liver and/or gallbladder dysfunction, poor secretion of stomach acid or enzymes, high stress, food allergies or sensitivities, inflammation and toxicity.
