Digestion
Feature: Digestive system
The digestive system is made up of a muscular tube stretching from the mouth through to the anus. But how does the stomach break down solid food? Are bowel movements three times a week normal? And how do I come to feel full after eating? – Answers to these and other questions on digestion can be found in our feature.
Feature: Lactose intolerance
Many people have digestion problems such as a bloated belly, “wind” or diarrhoea when they consume milk and dairy products. This might be because they can only tolerate a certain amount of lactose. The medical term for this condition is lactose intolerance. Find out more in our feature.
