The function of the digestive system is to break food down and turn it into the right chemicals for the body to use.

Although the process of food breakdown begins the moment food enters your mouth, the stomach is where the body's breakdown of food really gets serious.

This is where an adequate secretion of acids and enzymes is very important. Without them, food particles can not be broken down sufficiently.

They begin to ferment and putrefy, causing many of the above symptoms. If you occasionally experience any of the following: belching, flatulence, and bloating, rumbling or gurgling sounds in the abdomen, heartburn, constipation and/or diarrhea, constant hunger, then, your digestive system may not be functioning as well as it should be.
