A sneaky cause of major health issues—is it affecting you?
If you've ever had a stomach bug, food poisoning or traveler's diarrhea, you've experienced first-hand the nasty world of harmful bacteria in your gut. Illnesses like these create vivid memories of it “coming out both ends" and the relief you felt when it finally passed! In an ideal world, our only dealings with dangerous gut bacteria would be limited to the occasional "bug." But we don't live in an ideal world.
Here’s why your stomach hurts (and how to feel better fast!)
Most everyone complains of having a stomach ache at one time or another, and sadly it’s a regular occurrence for growing numbers of people! About 7 out of 10 of us have some kind of digestive issue. But many times, “stomach” problems have nothing whatsoever to do with your stomach.

What your number 1 and 2 say about you
When someone is diagnosed with a disease, the typical reaction is usually shock. How could this happen? Where did this come from? Well, as disheartening as the news can be, sickness and disease rarely jump up and bite unsuspecting people in the derriere without any warning.
Finally get the flat stomach you’ve always wanted!
We’ve learned a lot in the last 36 years or so, and that includes the fact that sit-ups do absolutely nothing to get rid of belly fat. You’ll build abdominal muscles of steel, but the stubborn blubber on top of them will remain a part of you.
What you haven't been told about IBS
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is far and away the most common digestive disorder in the US. About 60 million people suffer from the condition, 40 million of which are women. For those 60 million people, daily gas, bloating, horrible abdominal pain, and anything-but-normal BMs is their reality.
