Digestive health

Diarrhoea is the term used to describe loose, watery or unformed, which tend to occur more frequently and more urgently than with healthy bowel movements.

A stomach ulcer is a small, inflamed wound where the stomach lining and underlying tissues have become exposed to the acidic contents of the stomach. Stomach ulcers are associated with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori which is present in approximately one third of the total Australian population. Many people with Helicobacter pylori experience no symptoms, but others may develop stomach ulcers.
