Your stomach is at the very core of your being. If it’s upset to the point where you are feeling actual pain, that’s a problem you want to solve right away. It can truly interfere with the course of your day if you are running in and out of the bathroom, trying desperately to feel better. Maybe you just accept the fact that you have a sensitive stomach, or you might be aware of certain diseases that cause tummy troubles, such as colitis, Crohn’s disease, or irritable bowel syndrome. Those all require special forms of caring for your body to prevent symptoms and flare-up’s with the right diet and medication.

The aim is to take into account not only the physical symptoms but also psychological, social and spiritual aspects of health and illness.
