America’s Six Greatest Health Crises and Their Solutions: Part #4, Gastrointestinal Conditions

America’s Six Greatest Health Crises and Their Solutions: Part #4, Gastrointestinal Conditions

January 13, 2026Jackie Page

2026 is upon us, and if Americans need a good reason to implement better health practices, the dawn of a new year couldn’t be better. Here at Immune Solution, to prepare our research and discovery department for a new year of providing our customers with the best health products available, we spent the last few weeks of 2025 studying and researching the most serious health issues facing America today.


Now, in 2026, we’re picking up where we left off last month, with #4 on the list of the six worst health crises facing the nation. Today’s focus is on gastrointestinal issues and health conditions.




  • The Scope of Gastrointestinal Illness in America Today


There was a time in America when anyone could eat just about anything, and food allergies were incredibly rare. Today, it’s not uncommon for restaurant wait staff to routinely ask customers about food allergies, and that’s because almost everyone has some kind of food that they cannot eat or that doesn’t sit well with them. This all comes down to changes in the food supply, genetics, and how our food is sourced, made, and consumed.


The scope of gastrointestinal issues in the country today is very wide. According to Oshi Health, about 60 to 70 million Americans suffer from a gastrointestinal condition of some kind, issues that carry risks for chronic disease, economic impact, and disruption to daily life.


When surveyed, nearly two-thirds of Americans say they experienced an acute gastrointestinal issue of some kind within the past week, even if it wasn’t permanent or chronic. As for chronic diseases, they are also on the rise. According to the data:




  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) affects approximately 20% of the U.S. population.

  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome, also called IBS, affects at least five to seven percent of the U.S. adult population.

  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease, or IBD, has increased in prevalence over the past three decades.


Back to acute conditions, when surveyed, a randomly selected group of Americans reported high incidence rates of “tummy issues,” including 30.9% voicing heartburn, 24.8% saying they’d had abdominal pain, 20.6% saying they’d recently experienced bloating, 20.2% saying they’d recently had diarrhea and constipation, and 19.7% saying they’d experienced constipation recently.




  • Enter the Best Organic Wheatgrass Juice Powder in Existence


As the food supply becomes more toxic and artificial, and as the air we breathe and the water we drink become more contaminated, it’s no surprise that our guts and digestive systems in general are taking a beating. That’s why it is now so critically important to supplement with the nutrients our bodies need to repair our gut.


This is where Immune Solution comes in.




  • “Immune Solution’s gluten-free Raw Organic Kamut Wheatgrass Blend – Juice Powder (this is the best wheatgrass powder) is a wheatgrass that’s grown in nutrient-rich, organic soil, watered with mineral springs, and harvested at the peak of nutrition. Kamut is a superior non-GMO, non-crossbred, nutrient-dense heirloom-seed Egyptian wheatgrass. It is a high-protein grain, generally containing 30% more protein than does wheat. We have combined it minimally with oat & alfalfa to give it a sweet taste and increase the mineral and trace mineral content. Immune Solution’s Raw Organic Kamut Wheatgrass Blend – Juice Powder formulation blend is 75% pure Kamut (more than three times other wheatgrass products from other leading brands!) and 25% oat/alfalfa.”


That’s Immune Solution’s founder and owner, Jackie Page, introducing the business’s most popular and best-selling product, Raw Organic Kamut Wheatgrass Blend.


The benefits of this product to one’s digestive system and overall body can’t be overstated. In fact, we authored what we thought was a complete guide to the benefits of wheatgrass, but when we reached 50 benefits, we went to print because we weren’t prepared to write an entire book just yet!


Here’s that guide to the 50 benefits of wheatgrass, according to a doctor.


Wheatgrass does many great things for the human body, but for now, let’s concentrate on how it benefits the digestive system. Wheatgrass supports digestion because it contains many enzymes. It is also a prebiotic (it feeds good gut bacteria), which means it improves digestion and bowel movements. Wheatgrass also increases strength and energy, cuts sugar cravings, improves blood sugar, and is full of vitamins and minerals.


Another critical component of wheatgrass is that it restores the body's alkalinity, which significantly improves people’s digestive systems. Wheatgrass acts as an anti-inflammatory, it cleanses the blood, detoxes the liver, and eliminates body odor and bacteria.




  • Rave Reviews and Advice for Healthier Living in 2026


Positive reviews for Immune Solution’s best-selling Raw Organic Kamut Wheatgrass Blend Juice Powder have poured in over the years, three of which are featured below:




  • “I have been using Jackie’s products for years and especially Kamut Wheatgrass and I’ve never felt better. Not only do Jackie’s products deliver noticeable results, but she provides the best customer service!” -Marla S. 

  • “I have used all of the products from Immune Solution for Years. The wheat grass is my favorite as it always gives me the boost of energy I need plus with what is going on I know my immune system is strong. The skin products are amazing. I have a youthful glow that gets many compliments. Jackie & Bob have only the best top of the line products. If you have not tried their products you need to. The protein shake is amazing, the supplements are very pure. I know that my health is taken care of.” -Charlotte Walet.

  • “At times I feel somewhat powerless over carbs and sugar cravings and the Shilajit altered that quite a bit. It makes me stronger against cravings and takes my mental energy to the next level.  You do not need to take it for a week or two to feel the effect immediately. I LOVE IT! Shilajit in combination with Jackie’s Kamut Wheatgrass is a win-win. I can’t wait to try the Bromelain now!! I highly recommend giving Jackie a call doing a free health consultation. Thank you, Jackie!” -Caroline Mason.


Taking supplements and working to give the body what it needs to be healthy and well is absolutely a step in the right direction, but getting healthy requires so much more than a supplement here or there.


Immune Solution has three critical pieces of advice for you to follow in 2026, which Jackie can expand on more on a complimentary call with you, if you wish.


Here’s what you need to get started:




  • Knowledge: Get informed about what it takes to lead a healthy life, especially by focusing on your unique health condition and the day-to-day changes that would be most beneficial to you.

  • Responsibility. Commit to the bit, as they say. No one’s going to do it for you.

  • Control. Once you’re informed and ready to commit, implement controls into your life to ensure you can maintain that commitment to healthy living.|


Making strong, significant health changes in 2026 is no walk in the park. Thankfully, Jackie is available for a complimentary health coaching call to get customers started in the right direction. Contact Jackie Page today at 727-768-4688 for a free consultation!


Stay healthy and be well as we enter the new year.
