Nourishment for You
Your wellbeing relies heavily on your digestive function to nourish your body effectively. This can be a challenge if you are facing difficulty with intolerances, allergies or poor digestion leading to discomfort.
Signs of poor digestive health can include bloating, gas, flatulence, burping, pain and altered bowel movements.
Foods you eat, pathogens or gut microbial imbalance (dysbiosis) can all have an impact. The intestinal tissues rely on tight cellular gap junctions which provide a barrier for the digestive system. Problems can occur when these tissue junctions are compromised leading to intestinal barrier dysfunction, or otherwise known as ‘leaky gut’. This can contribute to many digestive disturbances.
The Complete Microbiome Mapping is a functional pathology test which can assess your digestive environment and can provide important information on the microbial balance, parasites, yeast/fungi, digestive functionality, inflammation and the intestinal barrier. Discuss with Jo whether this test could be of assistance in your digestion assessment.
Other gut health tests available include food intolerance testing, coeliac profile and Complete Digestive Stool Analysis.
