who are NOT researchers, practitioners of medicine, or nutritionists,

to understand digestion, probiotics and prebiotics, and things to do for good health. I’ll provide links to experts for those who want more information, especially about the effects of aging and medications on digestion.

Note: I have used the Merck Manual, Consumer Version, among other research options, to validate much of the information in this blog.

  4. Medications also can affect digestion, so I’ll provide some links on that topic at the end of this blog.

Neither this website nor I dispense medical advice or claim to know what can heal you of various symptoms.

I’m simply describing the basics of digestion, so we may help ourselves to good health, and giving you some links to get started on further research.
