Digestion and Intestinal Issues

Many people have digestion and intestinal issues, suffering from intestinal issues of bloating, indigestion, abdominal pain, nausea, acid reflux, diarrhea or constipation. In some cases, like acid reflux or GERD, conventional medicine offers medications, which in the long term lead to serious side effects. However, most of the time patients are given a diagnosis and left to suffer from excessive gas, discomfort or stomach pain.

Every year the frequency of these conditions is growing. People eat more and more foods contaminated with pesticides, ripened in methyl bromide, genetically modified or full of hormones and antibiotics. Food that we eat today is no longer the same as the food our parents and grandparents ate 40 years ago. This food experiment is changing our biochemistry, interfering with digestion and mistakenly causing immune reactions to substances essential to our being.

Our immune system is an information system that interprets thousands of signals coming into us on a daily basis such as components of food, air pollutants, water pollutants, vapours from fire retardants covering every single piece of furniture etc. The immune system interprets these signals and decides if it is a friend or a foe. If a friend comes with a foe, the immune system may reject both. From now on a friend is no longer a friend since it came with a foe. This is how we start developing multiple allergies.

Multiple allergies cause an inflammatory response from incoming foods, inhaled substances or contactants. Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the manifestations of food allergies and sensitivities. Allergies and sensitivities can contribute to auto-immune diseases such as Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) etc.

The composition of intestinal flora, insufficient enzymes, insufficient production of bile required for proper digestion and food allergies may lead to issues such as Leaky Gut Syndrome in which the wall of the intestinal tract, which serves as a barrier, is no longer intact. Leaky Gut Syndrome is directly associated with food allergies and sensitivities.

Treatments of these digestion and intestinal issues may require supplementation to address existing deficiencies. Supplements will facilitate healing but unless food allergies and food sensitivities are corrected, one will have to eliminate the foods that cause the reaction such, as gluten sensitivity reaction.

Food allergies, allergies to various topical substances, including detergents, chemical compounds and skin care products are becoming more and more prevalent.
