The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food.
Bowel is the general term for the long muscular tube that starts at the bottom of the stomach and ends at the anus. The first part of the bowel is involved with the digestion of food and is known as the 'small bowel' because the tube is narrower here.
The 'large bowel' is responsible mostly for absorbing water from the faeces.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Irritable bowel syndrome is a common condition of the digestive system and can cause cramps, bloating, and sometimes bouts of diarrhoea and constipation. Symptoms tend to come and go. There is no cure for IBS, but symptoms can often be eased with treatment.
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth is a disorder of excessive bacterial growth in the small intestine. Unlike the colon (or large bowel), which is rich with bacteria, the small bowel usually has fewer than 104 organisms per millilitre. Patients with bacterial overgrowth typically develop symptoms including nausea, bloating, vomiting, diarrhoea, malnutrition, weight loss and malabsorption.

Acid Reflux
If you suffer from acid reflux the acids from your stomach flow back into your oesophagus, causing discomfort, heartburn and other symptoms. It can be extremely painful and linger on and on. A drug which reduces the amount of acid made in your stomach is a common treatment and usually works well. Some people need long-term daily medication to keep symptoms away while others may only need short courses of medication when symptoms flare up.
Acid Reflux Treatment
Lansoprazole
Lansoprazole belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors which reduce the amount of acid that your stomach makes. It is this acid that burns the oesophagus, which leads to heartburn and swallowing complications. It also allows the oesophagus to heal in reflux oesophagitis.
Prices from as little as £0.12* a tablet

Omeprazole
Omeprazole belongs to a group of medicines called 'proton pump inhibitors'. They work by reducing the amount of acid that your stomach produces.
