A healthy digestive tract is a key component of our overall state of vibrant well being.
Our gut enables us to break down and absorb nutrients and is our protection from external pathogens. About 75% of our immune cells are located in the gut so a healthy immune system is also linked to gastrointestinal health.
Homeostatic balance between various microbes in the gut is needed to ensure optimal digestive health. Gut microbiota aid food digestion and absorption, and inhibit the development of pathogenic bacteria. Alterations in these ratios may lead to a change in gut function and overall health. The consequences may include constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, flatulence.
Nutritional Therapists look to support optimal ecological homeostasis in the gastric lumen through the personalised use of foods, food constituents and biological agents (probiotics)
