Gut Health
Gut Health: Digestion, Food Tolerance & Your Skin
Gut health describes how well your digestive system breaks down food, absorbs nutrients and moves waste. Bloating, pain and bowel changes can have different causes. A useful plan starts with the pattern of symptoms and an appropriate assessment, rather than assuming that every digestive problem is an infection or the cause of a skin condition.
Leaky Gut & Food Sensitivities: What the Evidence Means
Intestinal permeability describes how substances pass through the gut lining. Increased permeability is a real finding studied in several conditions, but “leaky gut syndrome” is not a single established diagnosis that explains every symptom. Food allergy, intolerance and celiac disease also need to be distinguished from one another.
Parasites & Candida: Symptoms, Testing & Treatment
Parasitic infections and Candida infections are different problems. A parasite such as Giardia can cause intestinal illness. Candida is a yeast that may cause infection at particular body sites. Bloating, fatigue or acne alone cannot identify either infection, and a general “cleanse” is not a substitute for diagnosis.
