Natural Gastrointestinal Health Products And Supplements To Support A Healthy Digestive Balance Of Intestinal Microflora And Aid Digestion, Detoxification And The Elimination Of Body Wastes
It is estimated that some form of digestive disorder affects more than 100 million Americans. For many people, digestive, bowel and colon discomfort and other gastrointestinal disorders are a source of irritation and discomfort that can cause them to drastically limit their lifestyles and to frequently miss work. For others, these digestive disorders may be extremely crippling and even fatal.
Many of us lead increasingly busy and stressful lifestyles and as a consequence, we may not always have time to eat a healthy, balanced diet. By supporting your digestive system with regular consumption of naturally beneficial digestive and gastrointestinal health supplements, you may be able to relieve colon and bowel problems in order to cope with stressful days when you don't get all the nutrients you need.
Nearly everyone will have a digestive problem at some point in his or her life. Some of these problems are short-lived and nothing more than uncomfortable. Others can threaten an individual’s good health, be expensive to manage and have serious, damaging impacts on quality of life.
We have gathered a range of top quality nutritional supplements which have been specially formulated to treat the pain, discomfort and other symptoms of digestive, gastrointestinal, bowel and colon problems.
The Human Digestive System - Facts And Information
After you chew food, you swallow it into your oesophagus which is a hollow tube extending down through your chest. Food enters the stomach. The stomach responds by secreting acid, some enzymes, and the muscular action also helps to break down food. Food leaves the stomach as a puree through the exit called the pylorus and then enters the duodenum which is the first part of the small bowel - also called the small intestine.
Digestive juices from the liver and pancreas mix with food in the duodenum. Bile, a digestive juice from the liver, also helps to chemically break down food. Bile is stored in the gall bladder which normally contracts and empties after you have finished eating. The pancreas is behind the stomach and secretes digestive enzymes. Nutrients are absorbed into the blood from the small bowel with some of the water in food.
The remaining residue, such as certain fibers and water, leave the small bowel and enter the large bowel -also called the large intestine or colon. The first part of the large bowel is called the cecum. It is located in your right lower abdomen. The colon acts as a dehydrator and sucking water out. As the residue becomes progressively solid as it travels along the length of colon to the last part called the rectum and is then excreted from the body as stool through a bowel movement.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS : IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome - can be caused by many factors and result in many different symptoms. Sufferers of IBS often talk of years of pain before plucking up the courage to go to their doctor only to be told to take muscle relaxants, to reduce their stress, to cut down on rich foods and increase intakes of dietary fibre. A specialist may offer food allergy testing, or work through elimination diets to see whether uncomfortable symptoms such as wind and bloating are caused by a reaction to foods. A nutritionist can offer food intolerance/allergy assessment, and will probably advise you about what supplements you could take to manage your IBS. They will look at your lifestyle - eating patterns and stress - which compromise gut function by reducing the secretion of digestive enzymes, slowing gut function and increasing susceptibility to developing food intolerances. There are natural gastrointestinal and digestive health supplements to manage all of these. You can increase your gut levels of digestive enzymes by taking digestive enzyme supplements which help to break down foods. Friendly bacteria contained in some natural gastrointestinal and digestive health supplements can also help create a favourable gut environment for digestion to occur most efficiently, and ensure healthy bowel function.
Diarrhoea : Diarrhoeal attacks can be caused by many factors, and it takes a skilled practitioner to get to the bottom of the problem. A proper assessment is very important to ensure effective outcome if a diet plan or natural gastrointestinal and digestive health supplements regime is recommended. In nearly every case, probiotic intestinal support supplements are very useful and eating a simple diet with plenty of water will help. The types of food to eat will vary depending on whether diarrhoea is acute or chronic and a qualified practitioner will be able to recommend a full compliment of foods.
Constipation : Most people have times when they are constipated for a day or two, but someone who is chronically constipated has less than three bowel actions a week. Constipation symptoms include feeling bunged up, piles, varicose veins in the legs or even painful sex. There are many causes - lack of fibre in the diet, lack of fluid in the body, inactivity, emotional upsets or even shift work - irregular patterns mean that no regular bowel pattern can be followed. Bad bowel habits, such as ignoring the need to go can lead to the colon contents drying out and becoming hard, making the next bowel movement difficult. Constipation can also be caused by an underactive thyroid gland, altered function of the nerves or muscles controlling bowel movement (as with IBS), pregnancy or an underlying illness such as bowel inflammation, scarring or tumours. Many types of medication can increase the risk of constipation; antacids containing calcium, iron sulphate, codeine (found in pain killers and cough medicines), some antidepressants, or muscle medication for abdominal pain, bladder relaxation or Parkinson's disease. Good diet is a highly effective way to treat constipation, with many doctors recommending wheat bran to bulk up the diet. This is not suitable for people with wheat sensitivity, who should use psyllium or a herbal stimulant laxative, such as senna and cascara instead. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables is a must, as is drinking plenty of water. There are plenty of oils which can be used for abdominal massage, including coriander, black pepper and neroli, while homeopathically, Byronia, Silicea, Sulphur and Nux Vom are often chosen for constipation. Naturopaths may also tackle build up of toxins in the gut, and improper flow of energy around the body caused by the "blockage".
Indegestion : Indigestion can be caused by lots of different factors; inflammation of the stomach lining, which can occur as a result of over-indulgence in alcohol, the use of aspirin-like drugs, or through infection. Another cause can be inflammation of the oesophagus, usually caused by digestive juices (acid) repeatedly moving upward from the stomach to the gullet. When very bad, it can be distressing, causing discomfort and pain in the upper abdomen or chest, usually after a meal, nausea, retching or even being sick after eating. People with frequent indigestion may benefit from following advice for IBS, as indigestion is also closely linked to stress, when there may be a decrease in proper enzymic breakdown of foods or low stomach acidity. It makes sense to increase levels of digestive enzymes with a supplement that assists breakdown of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Probiotics should also be recommended for overall gut health.
