Short description of what causes various stomach diseases

There are many types of digestive problems running from the mouth to the upper stomach to the intestines and colon. This is just a large tube that helps us break down our food, absorb our food, and also eliminate our waste products that the liver dumps out. Any part of this digestive system can be inflammed... all along it or in just one part. And in standard health care the trend is to name the disease based upon where it is located. For example, "colitis" means the colon is inflammed. "Gastritis" means the stomach is inflammed... and so on and so on.

I actually don't care what the name is. I just want to find out what is irritating the digestive tract. The most common causes of GI upset and inflammation are hidden infections (yeast/parasites mostly), food allergies, or a genetic need for extra vitamins (especially the active forms of some B vitamins).

I just wanted to let everyone know that stomach problems can really only have a few causes for 99% of problems. It is those 3 things mentioned above. If you would like to get help with a stomach or digestive problem, please call the office. I am still happily open and seeing patients. We are taking extra care for cleaning doors, hands, table, etc. ... and natural health care continues. I look forward to helping each person to feel better with natural solutions.
