Tell me About Digestive Disorders


The Irritable Bowel Syndrome  is a collection of the most common digestive symptoms - nausea, abdominal pain, excessive gas or bloating, constipation and diarrhea. When these symptoms occur over months or years in the absence of a visible disease, Doctors usually diagnose "irritable bowel syndrome" (IBS).

The description "reactive bowel"  is better than "irritable bowel". Reactive bowel suggests that the gastrointestinal tract is a sensing, reacting system with important immune responses to food. As soon as you say "reactive bowel" you have ask "reactive to what?" You then search for the cause in terms of food input and will often be closer to a solution.

IBS covers a spectrum of illness from relatively mild and occasional bowel disturbances to more debilitating, daily disturbances. We are advocating a permanent change in diet to solve the problem. You have to assume that your digestive tract is unhappy with your food choices and does not work well when you eat improperly.

The Alpha Nutrition Program  is designed to discover a new diet that reduces immediate symptoms and reduces the long-term risk of the digestive problem progressing toward more serious disease. The first Phase of Alpha Nutrition is an attempt to clear symptoms. This is home science. You start with the hypothesis that your food intake is causing or contributing to your illness and you do an experiment to find out if it is true. You want to accomplish three important goals at the same time:

  • Remove problems in your existing food supply
  • Add all the nutrients your body needs
  • Reintroduce the best, nourishing foods available
     

Alpha ENF  Often, full recovery involves a food holiday. Alpha ENF can be used as a completely absorbed, fully nourishing food-replacement. Alpha ENF requires little or no digestion and gives the digestive tract a chance to rest and heal. Alpha ENF can be used to supply nutrients that may be in short supply - such as amino acids, B vitamins, vitamins D, B12 and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc. Malabsorption, malnutrition and allergy to other foods may be hidden causes of slow recovery and prolonged disability.
