Digestion
The Digestive TractThe digestive tract, one of the largest of all body systems, extends approximately 30 feet long and extends as a long continuous tube, from mouth to anus! This system is important and if not functioning as it should can result in a multitude of health problems. We explore the various functions of the digestive tract and how nutrition relates to it's normal function.

  • The Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis
    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.
