If you have a stomachache, nausea or some other digestive problem, you know that it stems from your gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
But very few people think of the GI system when they have a health problem such as arthritis, depression, asthma or recurring infections.
Surprising: Tens of millions of Americans are believed to have digestive problems that may not be recognizable but can cause or complicate many other medical conditions.
Latest development: There’s now significant evidence showing just how crucial the digestive system is in maintaining your overall health. How could hidden GI problems be responsible for such a wide range of seemingly unrelated ills?
Here’s how: If you can’t digest and absorb food properly, your cells can’t get the nourishment they need to function properly and you can fall prey to a wide variety of ailments.
Good news: A holistically trained clinician can advise you on natural remedies (available at health-food stores unless otherwise noted) and lifestyle changes that often can correct hidden digestive problems…
LOW LEVELS OF STOMACH ACID
Stomach acid, which contains powerful, naturally occurring hydrochloric acid (HC1), can decrease due to age, stress and/or food sensitivities.
Adequate stomach acid is a must for killing bacteria, fungi, and parasites and for the digestion of protein and minerals. Low levels can weaken immunity and, in turn, lead to problems that can cause or complicate many ailments, including diabetes, gallbladder disease, osteoporosis, rosacea, thyroid problems and autoimmune disorders.
