Digestion

Around 80% of immunity lies within your pet’s digestive system. Digestive symptoms can be as subtle as burping, diarrhoea, constipation and anal gland issues. Some of these extensive and all too common complaints can fall under the umbrella of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). In these instances, the digestive function is compromised and may become overly sensitive to environmental stimuli (namely foods). We see many symptoms of digestive distress, where the lesser symptoms may eventually lead to more serious disease such as IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease).

Poor diet, age, stress, toxins, antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals can affect the microbiotia (gut bacteria) and the integrity of the gut barrier function. This in turn compromises the bacterial balance and production of gastric juices (hydrochloride). Sensitivities can arise and allergies may worsen. Ineffective breakdown of food, a higher probability to parasite and pathogen infections, and the start to an inflammatory response, that often doesn’t switch off, can all ensue.

At MPN, we work with gut healing protocols, deducing sensitivities and developing diet plans. We look at a wide range of approaches and protocols from elimination diets, food testing, cytokine testing, nutritional deficiencies, immune support, gut healing and replenishment.
