People revel in the idea of modern medical advancements, but speaking from personal experience, when it comes to the digestive system, it's all guess work.

I have seen a total of 6 doctors, and I am currently speaking with a 7th. We are always at square 1.

What is more interesting that doctors do not represent an objective medical perspective. Every doctor has his/her own opinion regarding your issues. That means that the chances of receiving an incorrect diagnosis is very high. I'm learning that it's kind of like playing the lottery with your health, especially when it comes to the gut.

I personally believe human beings are developing so many gut issues because of our polluted environments and the food we are consuming. Is it not the height of human hubris to change the genetic patterns of organisms that have been developing for millions of years? Genetically modified foods may have doomed us all. How can we think we know what is better for nature, or for ourselves? I'm honestly at a loss.

Take care of your stomach's and if you don't have any issues, thank your lucky stars. Remember though, if you keep dumping crap into your stomach, one day, it's going to quit on you and you will regret your choices. Caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods will destroy us all.
