Include Digestive System information on your My EmpowHer page
Sub-Conditions
Did you know that a woman’s digestive system is different than a man's? And without healthy digestion, we wouldn’t have the energy to fulfill even the simplest of routine tasks. Our digestive system controls how well we take in, use and eliminate the food and drink we consume. In this section, learn about the various conditions of the esophagus, stomach, intestines and other important parts of your digestive tract.
