The function of the gastrointestinal lining
The function of the gastrointestinal lining is to absorb our nutrients and function as a barrier to toxins.
This barrier I speak of acts like a gatekeeper to the blood; keeping toxins from entering our bloodstream. I am sure the average person does
not think at all about this function until we begin having gastrointestinal problems.
Approximately 80% of all Pathogens enter the body through the GI or Gastrointestinal Tract.
The GI tract is the very foundation of good health. Our intestinal tract is about 20 feet long. It fits into our abdominal cavity and allows a
tremendous amount of mechanical, chemical, and absorptive work, to take place.
You need to pay close attention and get serious about correcting this condition, if it is causing problems.
Here are a few things that you must do with serious intent
- You will need to have enough, and the right flora, in your intestines.
- Stool tests can determine just what flora is missing or needed, as well as what kind of pathogenic activity might be going on.
- Strengthen your intestinal membranes with herbs prescribed by your healthcare professional or (Naturopath).
- You will need to astringe and repair, as well as rebuild the mucosal lining in your intestines, to restore a healthy gut.
- You will need to be diligent. This did not happen overnight and it will take, time and patience, to get you back in balance.
Probiotics and supplements can be purchased at Amazon.com. Your Primary Physician may recommend certain probiotics
for you to take that would solve a lot of research on your part. There are plenty of probiotics to choose from, and some work better than
others. Our PCP or the advice coming from a Naturopath may shed light on which kind one needs for you to have optimum health.
