Today we have a large topic to cover and that is Digestion. We will talk about the importance of Digestion, some of the challenges people face, including Acid Reflux. To understand what goes wrong with digestion, it is important to understand how it works. As food mixed with saliva enters the stom­ach, it is broken down into small particles by stomach acid, then by enzymes produced by the pancreas and bile produced by the liver. “Good” bacteria (flora) in the small intestine complete the job of break­ing down nutrients so that they can be absorbed. Undigested parts of food, such as fiber, and other waste products are pushed into the colon where they remain until eliminated.
