Digestion is the process by which food and drink are broken down into their smallest parts so that the body can use them to build and nourish cells and to provide energy.

In the United States, diarrheal diseases caused by intestinal infections are the third leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Most Americans have grown up with modern sanitation, and it is often assumed parasitic infections are encountered only in impoverished foreign countries. According to Neva, "The United States citizen can acquire amebiasis, giardiasis, pinworms, and strongyloides, for example, without so much as a passport application."

The Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis
submitted by Dr. Gary Farr 6/25/2004
I often tell my patients that the gastrointestinal tract is much like a carburetor in a car. Your digestive tract tract must take gasoline (your food), and then mix it with air (enzymes and other digestive juices). If this mixing process goes well, your car runs and doesn't cough or sputter. How efficiently your fuel burns determines to a large extent how many years you're going to get out of your car. Although a rather crude analogy, this principle does hold true for the human digestive tract. There are many points along the digestive where some "burning" process can go awry and cause seemingly unrelated problems elsewhere in the body. This article will discuss those various places and give you a very good detail of what can go wrong.
