To stay healthy, the bowel needs:

• Its local immune system to destroy any harmful pathogens;

• Its flora of friendly bacteria that work to make the bowel inhospitable for unfriendly bacteria;

• Nutrients to create and feed the cells of its lining, which is the physical barrier between the bowel and the rest of the body;

• Electrolytes whose proper balance ensures that the stools are not too watery nor too dry.

flora imbalance, reduced nutrients absorption and/or functional disorders.
