What's up with my gut?

Gas?  Indigestion?  Pain?  Loose bowels?  Constipation? 

In the post-industrial age, our guts are in trouble! Why is digestive dysfunction so common in our population? One of the leading causes is the use of antibiotics (past or present) either directly or by consuming antibiotic-laden foods, resulting in reduced diversity of our gut bacteria.  It’s important to also address food intolerance or autoimmunity triggered by gluten (celiac disease); digestive insufficiency (low stomach acid, bile flow from the gall bladder, or digestive enzyme production); and inflammation in the gut. And, the downstream effects of all this digestive imbalance extend far beyond the gut to potentially cause fatigue, autoimmunity, eczema, asthma, and mood disorders.
