It absorbs liquid and collects food wastes before your stool is evacuated. So when this process is a little bit sluggish, or when the fecal matter has remained in your colon for quite some time, then it will ferment and cause gas or bloating.

<description><![CDATA[Nail fungal infection is a disorder that afflicts about 11 million Americans. It is prevalent especially in the older population because of their greater chance of exposure to fungus over the years and because of poor blood circulation.   Doctors claim that the quickest and surefire way to treat nail fungus is from the inside through oral pharmaceutical drugs. While the chance for treating the disease is greater compared to other forms of remedy, these drugs have been proven dangerous to health especially when ingested for more than the prescribed dosage or for prolonged periods. They are also proven potentially fatal for patients with heart, liver or kidney disorders.   For this reason, most patients prefer natural herbal treatments to nail fungus. Herbal treatments are regarded as safer compared to pharmaceutical drugs, not to mention more affordable. But the question of efficacy often clouds herbal treatments in general.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[You probably had acne breakouts during your teens. Your mother assured you that "its part of growing up and it'll clear up soon." And you found out that your mother was right. The acne did eventually clear up and you lived happily ever after - acne free, right? Wrong!  Basically, acne is caused by a malfunctioning sebaceous gland. If your glands produce excessive sebum, you'd suffer from acne regardless of your age. So, adults can still suffer from acne. Because of excessive production of oil, the hair follicle, dirt and bacteria are trapped with the oil or the sebum. This creates an infection which leads to lesions and inflammations.  Adult acne is fairly common. ]]></description>
