Do you feel like skipping breakfast?

Skipping breakfast can be a sign of low stomach acid… If you feel like skipping breakfast, it can be a sign that your digestive system is out of balance. Specifically, we see a lot of people who struggle with breakfasts who have low stomach acid and pancreatic enzymes.

Can a stool test identify hormone imbalances, breast and colon cancer risk?...

I am very excited to share with you that a marker has just been added to our stool test that helps to give information about the risk for hormone-sensitive cancers, including breast cancer.

Parasites aren’t just a tropical problem

Each week we hear from people who’ve been told by their doctor that their digestive symptoms couldn’t possibly be caused by parasites in their gut. “Parasites are tropical problems“, they say. “You can only have parasites if you’re vomiting or have serious diarrhoea“, they claim. Both statements are wrong. A new report released this week found a tiny parasite called Cryptosporidium (let’s call it ‘Crypto’ for short) in the Arctic! Here’s what the article in Nature News said: “Cryptosporidium, a potentially dangerous intestinal parasite common in the tropics, has been spotted for the first time in the Arctic. This...
