March 24, 2003 About 62 million people in the United States are diagnosed each year with a digestive disorder. Treatments may include antibiotics, and other medications. Now, some people can reduce symptoms of these disorders simply by changing their diet. Fructose - a type of sugar found in everything from soft drinks to honey to apple juice, and it could be making you sick. "There's a limit to the amount of fructose that we can consume," said Peter Beyer, R.D., Researcher, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS.

Facts About Motility Disorders
What are Motility Disorders?
Motility disorders refer to abnormal intestinal contractions, such as spasms and intestinal paralysis, that can result in the inability to eat (which may require patients to receive intravenous nutrition) and severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, maldigestion, weight loss, diarrhea, constipation and incontinence.
Motility Disorders encompass a variety of conditions, including: gastroparesis; achalasia; gastroesophageal reflux disease; chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction; constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome, the most common of the disorders, results in pain and diminished quality of life for nearly 15 percent of this country's population. Rarer and more serious disorders produce excruciating pain and make it impossible to eat or digest food.
Below is a listing and short description of some of the most serious and bothersome motility disorders and digestive diseases.
Gastroparesis
This is a disorder of the stomach where it fails to empty food properly. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, weight loss and loss of appetite. It commonly occurs in patients with diabetes, or in patients with scleroderma or lupus. However, it may also occur after a viral or bacterial illness.
Gastroparesis Diet
1) Small frequent meals - 5 to 6 small meals per day.

Return To Healing DIGESTIVE DISORDERS: (Copywrite: August 2002) We've all had occurrences of digestive disorders at one time or another. However, chronic digestive disturbances can create deficiencies and more serious problems down the line. In order to maintain health at all levels, our ability to digest and absorb our nutrients is essential. The liver, gall bladder, stomach, spleen, kidney and bladder are all body parts that play a role in our digestive processes. If any of these body parts are not functioning properly, digestive disturbances can occur. In order to maintain these organs in a healthy state, certain foods should be avoided. To make this simple, let's take one body part at a time. The Gall Bladder: Dandelion is one of my favorite herbs that is helpful to clean up a problem gall bladder. Mother Earth grows dandelions everywhere for a very good reason. We are supposed to use them often to keep our system cleansed. This is one of America's best kept secrets. I believe if we were taught to use dandelion tea from the time we were young, we could help eliminate a number of diseases we create as we age. Dandelion is a gentle cleanser that helps to keep our entire digestive system clean.

gall bladder stones - digestive system disorders Digestive System Disorders - pg 3 Benefits of Artichoke for Digestive Disorders
The artichoke plant is best known for its "heart," the bottom part of its spiky flower bud that many of us have learned to appreciate as both a delicacy and a nutritious vegetable. However, other parts of this tall thistle-like plant, which never reach the dinner table, have proven to be even more beneficial for our health. Clinical studies show its large basal leaves to be effective for improving digestion and liver function as well as cholesterol levels. Since ancient times, humans have looked to nature for help to cure diseases. Up until modern times most remedies were derived from the plant kingdom, and even today a large percentage of our current pharmaceutical drugs are based on plant extracts from various parts of the world. Many old herbal remedies, however, have fallen into oblivion with the development of modern medicine. Artichoke extract is one of the few phyto-pharmaceuticals whose experiential and clinical effects have been confirmed to a great extent by biomedical research. Its major active components have been identified, as have some of its mechanisms of action in the human body. In particular, antioxidant, liver-protective, bile-enhancing, and lipid-lowering effects have been demonstrated, which correspond well with the historical use of the plant. More research is needed to determine in detail the mechanisms of action for these effects. However, there appears to be evidence enough to suggest a potential role for artichoke extract in some areas where modern medicine does not have much to offer.

Reprinted by permission from Bill Faloon of The Life Extension Foundation It is estimated that more than 100 million people in America are affected by some form of digestive system disease. That's more than half of the U.S. population! For some people, digestive system disorders are a source of irritation and discomfort that may cause them to drastically limit their life styles and miss work frequently. For others, these disorders may be extremely crippling, and even fatal. The Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT)
The gastrointestinal tract is a long muscular tube that functions as the food processor for the human body. The digestive system includes the following organs: the mouth and salivary glands, the stomach, the small and large intestines, the colon, the liver and pancreas, and the gall bladder. Irritations or inflammation of the various sections of the gastrointestinal tract are identified as gastritis (stomach), colitis (colon), ileitis (ileum or small intestines), hepatitis (liver), and cholecystitis (gall bladder). The gastrointestinal tract is not a passive system; rather it has the capability to sense and react to the materials that are passed through it. For a healthy digestive system, every person requires different food selections that match their gastrointestinal tract capacity.

Overview Of Stomach Function: The stomach’s main functions are to aid in digestion and the production of food Qi (Gu Qi). The stomach controls the “rotting and ripening” of food and drinks ingested. The stomach and spleen together are regarded as the ‘root of post-haven Qi’. The spleen and stomach are both responsible for transporting Gu Qi throughout the body but especially to the upper and lower limbs to nourish muscles and bones. If this function the spleen and stomach is deficient the limbs will become flaccid and desensitized.

info@health-marketplace.com Digestive Disorders Protocol Effects on the Gastrointestinal System
The importance of effective liver function for overall health in general, and proper gastrointestinal function in particular, is rarely emphasized in health discussions in the United States. One reason might be that there is neither laboratory evidence, nor specific physical symptoms to reveal an overburdened liver in the beginning stages. The symptoms may be nonspecific, such as general malaise, fatigue, headache, epigastric pain, bloating, nausea, or constipation. Discomfort following meals and intolerance of fat are also notable indications of disturbances in the biliary system. It is estimated that at least 50% of patients with dyspeptic complaints have no verifiable disease. Because of the liver's essential role in detoxification, even minor impairment of liver function can have profound effects. It is therefore important to take such chronic complaints seriously. In Germany and France, for example, physicians frequently prescribe herbal liver remedies, such as artichoke extract, with good results when presented with these chronic but nonspecific symptoms. We may have something to learn here.

Osler coined the term mucous colitis in 1892 when he wrote of a disorder of mucorrhea and abdominal colic with a high incidence in patients with coincident psychopathology. Since that time, the syndrome has been referred to by sundry terms, including spastic, irritable, and nervous colon.To diagnose IBS, exclude underlying organic pathology."

Colon and Rectal (Colorectal) Cancer What is colorectal cancer?
Colorectal cancer is malignant cells found in the colon or rectum. The colon and the rectum are part of the large intestine, which is part of the digestive system. Because colon cancer and rectal cancers have many features in common, they are sometimes referred to together as colorectal cancer. Cancerous tumors found in the colon or rectum also may spread to other parts of the body. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. However, the number of new cases of colorectal cancer, and the number of deaths due to colorectal cancer, have decreased, which is attributed to increased sigmoidoscopic screening and polyp removal. What are the symptoms of colorectal cancer?
The following are the most common symptoms for colorectal cancer, however, each individual may experience symptoms differently. People who have any of the following symptoms should check with their physicians, especially if they are over 40 years old or have a personal or family history of the disease:
  • a change in bowel habits such as diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing of the stool that lasts for more than a few days

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) What is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is an intestinal disorder that causes:
  • crampy pain gassiness bloating changes in bowel habits
IBS has inaccurately been called by many names:
  • colitis mucous colitis spastic colon spastic bowel functional bowel disease
IBS is called a functional disorder because there is no sign of disease when the colon is examined. Because physicians have been unable to find an organic cause, IBS often has been thought to be caused by emotional conflict or stress. While stress may worsen IBS symptoms, research suggests that other factors also are important. IBS often causes a great deal of discomfort and distress, but it is not believed to:
  • cause permanent harm to the intestines. lead to intestinal bleeding of the bowel. lead to a serious disease such as cancer.
It has not been shown to lead to serious, organic diseases nor has a link been established between IBS and inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. How does IBS occur?

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) include a group of chronic disorders that cause inflammation or ulceration in the small and large intestines. Most often IBD is classified as:
  • ulcerative colitis - causes ulceration and inflammation of the inner lining of the colon and rectum. Crohn's disease an inflammation that extends into the deeper layers of the intestinal wall, and also may affect other parts of the digestive tract, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and small intestine.
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease cause similar symptoms that often resemble other conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome. The correct diagnosis may take some time. Inflammatory bowel disease may also be referred to as colitis, enteritis, ileitis, and proctitis. Crohn's Disease What is Crohn's disease?
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that is a chronic condition that may recur at various times over a lifetime. It usually involves the small intestine, most often the lower part called the ileum. However, in some cases, both the small and large intestine are affected. Sometimes, inflammation may also affect the entire digestive tract, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, appendix, or anus.

Facts About Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers During normal digestion, food moves from the mouth down the esophagus into the stomach. The stomach produces hydrochloric acid and an enzyme called pepsin to digest the food. From the stomach, food passes into the upper part of the small intestine, called the duodenum, where digestion and nutrient absorption continue. An ulcer is a sore or lesion that forms in the lining of the stomach or duodenum where hydrochloric acid and pepsin are present. These ulcers are referred to as peptic ulcers gastric ulcers in the stomach and duodenal ulcers in the duodenum.
  • About one in 10 Americans develop at least one ulcer during their lifetimes. Ulcers affect about five million people each year. More than 40,000 people each year have surgery because of persistent symptoms or problems from ulcers. Each year, nearly 6,000 people die of ulcer-related complications.
