The gastrointestinal tract has had much focus and research over the last several years. It is now widely known that “gut health” plays a vital role in our overall health and wellness. Having a diverse and healthy gut microbiome provides us with improved immunity, sleep, hormonal balance, mental health, and digestion and absorption of our foods we eat. Factors that provide us with poor gut health include stress, poor nutritional choices, low stomach acid, excessive alcohol intake, genetics, and even certain medications.

| Abdominal Pain | Constipation | Diarrhea | Heartburn | Cramping |

Other symptoms:
