“The digestive system is a complicated and diverse part of the body. It extends from the mouth to the rectum.

• The primary function of the digestive system is to eliminate waste and assist the body in absorbing essential nutrients and minerals.
• Studies report that the gut plays a crucial role in immunity.

Every one of us has experienced digestive issues, such as stomach pain, indigestion, or discomfort, at some point in our lives for various reasons.

The medical community classifies all diseases that affect the GI tract as digestive diseases. Unfortunately, more than 85 percent of all adult Americans have some form of intestinal disorder.

The best chance for a cure is always early detection. Many GI disturbances and disorders can be avoided or reduced by leading a healthy lifestyle and undergoing regular screening as recommended.”
