If you are at all familiar with Probiotics you will have no difficulty understanding what Brewer’s Yeast is and how it benefits the digestive system. Actually, Brewer’s Yeast is a Probiotic in that it promotes the growth of and replenishes good, or friendly, bacteria in the digestive tract. Brewer’s Yeast contains the fermentative bacteria called Acidophilus which ferments particular carbohydrates and in turn secretes acid in the process. This helps to maintain an adequate acid balance in the colon.
The Acidophilus in Brewer’s Yeast helps to synthesize nutrients during metabolism and are then absorbed into the bloodstream. Nutrients which are synthesized include vitamins such as thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, folic acid, vitamin B12, biotin, and vitamin K, which are…

During digestion, food remains in a liquid state during most of the digestive process. The portion of the food that is not absorbed passes through the colon, liquids are absorbed and a soft stool is formed. If it passes too quickly through the digestive tract the liquid isn’t sufficiently absorbed and a loose, water stool is the result. If the intestinal walls are diseased or inflamed it could be the reason that the fluids weren’t absorbed.
The most common causes for diarrhea are bacteria and parasites, viruses and medicine. Typical bacteria/parasites that infect the intestines are salmonella, shigella and E-coli. Rotavirus is the most common cause of diarrhea in young children. Viral diarrhea is highly contagious. One medicine that is known…

In order to understand what happens when protein isn’t properly digested it is first necessary to have a basic understanding of how it is digested. All protein is comprised of something called amino acids. When we eat protein, the body breaks it up (digests it) into the smaller amino acid substances, which are then put back together by the body into the proteins which can be utilized by humans. If protein isn’t digested completely, or it is improperly digested it can have an adverse, if not dangerous, effect on the body.
Look at it this way. The body is looking for amino acids, not whole proteins. If whole proteins pass through the digestive tract and end up getting absorbed into the…

Many people mistakenly believe that if they suddenly come up with a case of heartburn then they need to immediately reach for the Rolaids. Actually, it may not only be ineffective, but it may also cause some conditions to worsen. Quite often what we think of as “heartburn” is really gasses escaping because food is sitting and putrefying in the stomach or upper intestines. Purification releases noxious gases that need to go somewhere. In this case, you burp them out.
In years gone by this “sour stomach” was thought of as acid indigestion. Recent studies have shown that the most typical cause for some foods, particularly protein rich foods, to remain in the stomach undigested is a lack of digestive enzymes…

Have you ever driven through the countryside and seen those huge metal contraptions that farmers move about their produce fields in order to water them efficiently? That is much like the concept of colon irrigation. Colon irrigation is sometimes referred to as colon hydrotherapy. It is simply a method of periodically flushing out the colon, or lower intestines. Water is introduced to the colon through the rectum. We often refer to this as an “enema.”
Sometimes doctors want to do diagnostic tests, such as colonoscopies. In order to get a good look at the colon it is necessary for it to be empty. They flush out the colon with fluids that often contain chemicals which some people are uncomfortable with.…

Diverticulitis, or Diverticular disease, is a disease of the colon which is diagnosed by the occurrence of abnormal sacs or pouches on the walls of the intestines. These pouches are called “diverticula.” When they become inflamed as a result of an infection there can be symptoms such as nausea, fever and severe abdominal cramping. It can be life-threatening if it is not dealt with. Generally antibiotics are prescribed to treat the infection. In order to prevent a recurrence, it is essential to focus on healing and maintaining a healthy colon.
There are several natural supplements that can help promote and maintain a healthy colon. One of the most common, and thereby most effective, ingredients in these products is psyllium. Psyllium is…

Crohn’s Disease is often hard to diagnose because it resembles so many other digestive tract illnesses. It tends to manifest itself as ulcerations on the walls of the upper intestines. The most common symptoms are abdominal pain and diarrhea. While it is unknown exactly what causes Crohn’s Disease, it is theorized that it may be a reaction to foods. Perhaps the immune system mistakes certain foods as bacteria and goes on the attack trying to fight them. As a result blood begins to collect on the digestive tract walls and ulcers are formed. It may be that the disposition towards Crohn’s Disease may be genetic. Around one-fifth of all people have a family history of the disease and it is…
