Your digestive system works hard every day… so how can you help support it?

Small habits may have a bigger impact than you think. Eating a variety of foods, slowing down at mealtime, staying active, managing stress, and giving your gut time to rest are all ways that may help support digestive wellness.

Your gut microbiome plays an important role in digestive health, but did you know it’s constantly changing throughout life?

Many of today’s treatments, medications, and medical advances were made possible because patients chose to participate in research. Clinical trials help researchers better understand conditions, evaluate potential treatments, and move us closer to improved care options.

For people living with GI disorders, participation in research can help ensure patient experiences and unmet needs are represented in the development of future therapies. While clinical trials aren’t the right fit for everyone, learning about available opportunities is one way to stay informed and support progress in digestive health.

Behind every data point is a person navigating the daily challenges of gastroparesis.

Our gastroparesis patient survey helped shed light on the real-world impact of this condition, from symptom burden and quality of life challenges to how patients weigh treatment risks in hopes of meaningful relief.

Swipe through to explore key findings and hear what the gastroparesis community shared. By listening to patient experiences, we can better advocate for awareness, research, and improved treatment options for those living with GP.

The large intestine plays a key role in the final stages of digestion-absorbing water, forming stool, and storing waste before it’s eliminated. It also helps move waste through the body through coordinated muscle contractions, keeping everything on track.

When this process is disrupted, it can lead to symptoms like constipation or diarrhea.
