Gastrointestinal Disorders

“All disorders begin in the gut”.

The Gut-inflammation Relationship.

The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is the site of nutrient uptake, without which we could not service. In addition, close to 90% of our total immune system exists within the mucosal tissue lining the GIT. This area hosts millions of cells which regulate both innate and adaptive immune responses. Dysfunction within this area predisposes us to greater risk of infection, allergies and systemic inflammation, as pro-imflammatory immune signals are inappropriately activated, and normal “switch off” mechanisms fail.

Arthritis is common in patients with gastrointestinal disorders. The implication is that compromised digestion and nutrient uptake may influence joint deterioration and inflammation.
