Digestive Support FAQ

Why is digestion important?

Digestion is important because your body needs nutrients from food and drink to work properly and stay healthy. Proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and water are nutrients. Your digestive system breaks nutrients into parts small enough for your body to absorb and use for energy, growth, and cell repair.

How can a healthy diet help with digestive problems?

Eating a whole-foods diet high in fiber, healthy fat and nutrients is the first step toward good digestion. Practices such as mindful eating, stress reduction and exercise can also be beneficial. Finally, changing habits that may affect your digestion — such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and late-night eating — may help relieve symptoms as well.

What foods help with digestive problems?

Fiber-rich foods, such as whole grains, dark green vegetables, and chia seeds, also play a role in digestion by helping food move through your system more easily or quickly. If you’re seeking relief from your digestive woes, consider adding some of these 19 foods to your diet.

Where can I find support for digestive disorders?

Guts UK is the support organisation for all digestive disorders. Visit their website at gutscharity.org.uk/ for further details. There are specific support organisations for various digestive disorders – search the directory at Contact (previously known as Contact a Family) for details.
