Indication of Digestion Problems

Digestion entails combining food with digestive juices, moving it over the digestive tract, and breaking down big bits of food into smaller pieces. Digestion starts in the mouth, with the act of chewing and swallowing, and is completed in the small intestine. As soon as food or liquid is swallowed, the stomach then takes over by storing the food and liquid, mixing the food, liquid and digestive juice produced by the stomach, last but not least clearing the contents slowly to the small intestine where nutrients are soaked up. The blend then moves to the large intestine and colon and holds back to be removed as feces.

Women are two times more likely than men to formulate digestion problems. Digestion problems, also known as gastrointestinal problems or dysbiosis, in women prior to menopause can come in an array of types. Each kind has to do with how food is divided as soon as consumed. Because the digestive system is a complex function of the body, issues can occur anywhere along the trip that food takes, from intake to expulsion.
