Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or can’t effectively use it, leading to high blood sugar levels. It can cause serious health complications if unmanaged. There are different types, including Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes, each requiring specific treatment and care.

Diverticular disease involves small bulging pouches (diverticula) that form in the large intestine, or colon. When these pouches become inflamed or infected, it’s called diverticulitis. Symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Diet, lifestyle, and medical treatment help manage the condition and prevent complications.

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition where eating gluten triggers an immune response that damages the small intestine lining. This affects nutrient absorption and causes symptoms like diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss. A strict lifelong gluten-free diet is essential to manage the disease and prevent long-term health complications.

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects any part of the digestive tract, most commonly the small intestine. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, & weight loss. The exact cause is unknown, but treatment involves medication, dietary changes, & sometimes surgery to manage inflammation.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder affecting the large intestine. It causes symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and altered bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation. Though not life-threatening, IBS can impact quality of life. Management includes dietary adjustments, stress reduction, and sometimes medication for symptom relief.

Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products, due to low levels of the enzyme lactase.

It causes symptoms like bloating, gas, diarrhea, and stomach cramps after consuming products containing dairy. Management involves reducing or avoiding lactose-containing foods or using lactase enzyme supplements.

Leaky Gut Syndrome is a condition where the intestinal lining becomes overly permeable, allowing toxins, microbes, and undigested food to enter the bloodstream.

This may trigger inflammation and contribute to various health issues. While not universally recognized in mainstream medicine, some practitioners link it to autoimmune and digestive disorders.

Obesity is a complex health condition characterized by excessive body fat that increases the risk of serious diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. It’s typically caused by an imbalance between calories consumed and burned, influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and environment. Treatment involves diet, exercise, behavior changes, and sometimes medication.
