Gastrointestinal Disorders

As the main gateway into our body, the gastro-intestinal system, which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach and 26ft  of intestine, is susceptible to a range of problems. Problems can result in the common symptoms of nausea, stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhea.

Bacteria infection in the stomach or lower intestine can lead to a sudden flare-up of inflammation of the lining of the intestines with resulting pain and sometimes bleeding

One of the most common forms of gastric problem is irritable bowel syndrome (I.B.S.), also known as spastic colon. I.B.S. seems to be linked with food allergies, bacterial or yeast overgrowth, or nutritional deficiencies.
