Gut/ Digestive Health
Each part of your digestive system helps to move food and liquid through your GI tract, breaking food and liquid into smaller parts. Once foods are broken into small enough parts, your body can absorb and move the nutrients to where they are needed. Your large intestine absorbs water, and the waste products of digestion become stool.
The steps responsible for your Gastrointestinal tract:
Mouth
Oesophagus
Lower oesophageal sphincter
Stomach
Small intestine
Large intestine
IBS, IBD, leaky Gut, reflux, cramping, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea are conditions effected by the GIT. These conditions can be difficult to live with and may not be addressed correctly, leaving you fatigued, sluggish and uncomfortable. Naturopathically, we aim to reduce inflammation, pain & cramping, sooth & protect gastrointestinal epithelial layers, improve & support digestion, reduce & eliminate diarrhoea symptoms, regulate bowel motions, regulate ‘fight or flight’ stress responses, increase vitality and Re-inoculate gut flora.
