What is Digestive Care? Digestive Health? Gut Health?
A healthy digestive tract helps us to absorb vitamins and minerals from food to keep the body healthy. So how do we keep the digestive systems healthy? Well, everything in your body is connected and when it comes to digestive care your nervous system affects EVERYTHING. Hence a natural, holistic solution may include a variation of chiropractic care, nutrition, and stress reduction – the three areas that the Hutsell practice can help you with!
Signs and Symptoms of Digestive Health Issues
People with digestive issues may experience indigestion, constipation, bloating, heartburn, or other symptoms.
Symptoms that you are unable to absorb fats: You may have light-colored, foul-smelling stools that are soft and bulky. Stools are difficult to flush and may float or stick to the sides of the toilet bowl.
