Digestive Health

Digestive Health

 

The 4R Gastrointestinal Support Program

 

The GI tract protects the entire body through a series of mechanisms.

 

  • GI pH
    • Mouth – alkaline
    • Stomach – acid
    • Small Intestine – alkaline
    • Large Intestine – mild acid
  • Strong digestive and immune secretions – 80% of the immune system is in the small intestine
  • Powerful mucosal barrier from mouth to anus
  • “Friendly colonic micro flora” by the trillions

 

Disruption of regional pH balance impacts the processes of digestion, assimilation, elimination and immune function.

  • What do you need to remove for healthy GI function?
  • Allergenic foods in the diet can become triggers
  • Modified elimination diet. Foods to include, foods to exclude

REINOCULATE
