Fewer realise that the lymphatic network plays a direct, indispensable role in digestion itself. Understanding this connection reveals why <a href=\"\/lymphatic-drainage-massage\" class=\"il\">lymphatic drainage massage<\/a> is such an effective complement to <a href=\"\/colonic-irrigation\" class=\"il\">colonic irrigation<\/a> for clients pursuing comprehensive <strong>digestive health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n \n <section class=\"sec\">\n <div class=\"wrap\">\n\n <h2>The Lymphatic System and Digestion<\/h2>\n <p>The relationship between the lymphatic system and the digestive tract is far more intimate than most people suspect. The gut is wrapped in one of the densest concentrations of lymphatic tissue anywhere in the body, and the two systems interact continuously across three distinct functions.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"role-grid\">\n <div class=\"role-card\">\n <i class=\"fa-solid fa-oil-can\"><\/i>\n <h3>Fat Absorption<\/h3>\n <p>Specialised lymphatic vessels called lacteals line the small intestine and are solely responsible for absorbing dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) from digested food.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"role-card\">\n <i class=\"fa-solid fa-shield-halved\"><\/i>\n <h3>Immune Surveillance<\/h3>\n <p>Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) constitutes roughly 70% of the body's total immune capacity, screening everything that enters the digestive tract for potential threats.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"role-card\">\n <i class=\"fa-solid fa-recycle\"><\/i>\n <h3>Waste Clearance<\/h3>\n <p>Mesenteric lymph nodes filter bacteria, toxins and antigens from the gut wall before they reach the general bloodstream, acting as a protective buffer between digestion and circulation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <p><strong>Lacteals and fat absorption<\/strong> are perhaps the least known of these roles. When you eat a meal containing dietary fat, the fat is broken down in the small intestine into fatty acids and glycerol. These molecules are too large to pass directly into the blood capillaries the way water-soluble nutrients do. Instead, they are packaged into particles called chylomicrons and absorbed into the lacteals, the tiny lymphatic capillaries that project into each intestinal villus. From there, the fat-laden lymph (now called chyle, a milky-white fluid) travels through the mesenteric lymphatic vessels, past the mesenteric lymph nodes, and eventually empties into the bloodstream via the thoracic duct near the left collarbone.<\/p>\n <p>This means that <strong>every gram of fat you absorb from food passes through the lymphatic system before reaching the blood<\/strong>. When lymphatic flow is sluggish, fat absorption becomes less efficient. Dietary fats and the essential fat-soluble vitamins they carry (vitamins A, D, E and K, all critical for immune function, bone health, vision and cellular protection) are absorbed incompletely. The nutritional value of the food you're eating is diminished, and unabsorbed fats can contribute to digestive discomfort, greasy stools and a sense that food isn't \"sitting well.\"<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>GALT and immune surveillance<\/strong> represent another layer of the gut-lymphatic partnership. The digestive tract is the body's largest interface with the external environment: everything you swallow, from food and water to airborne particles and bacteria, passes through it. GALT screens this constant stream of material, distinguishing between safe nutrients and potential threats, and mounting localised immune responses when danger is detected. When the mesenteric lymph nodes become overloaded with inflammatory debris (often a consequence of poor diet, gut dysbiosis or conditions like <a href=\"\/blog\/leaky-gut-treatment\" class=\"il\">leaky gut<\/a>), this surveillance becomes less precise. The immune system either overreacts to harmless substances (food sensitivities) or underreacts to genuine threats (increased susceptibility to gut infections).<\/p>\n\n <h2>How Lymphatic Drainage Supports Gut Function<\/h2>\n <p><a href=\"\/blog\/what-is-lymphatic-drainage-massage\" class=\"il\">Manual lymphatic drainage<\/a> supports digestion by optimising the performance of the infrastructure that surrounds and services the gut rather than treating the gut contents directly. When Sara performs abdominal MLD, the targeted strokes activate the mesenteric lymphatic vessels, encouraging more efficient chyle transport (improving fat and vitamin absorption), accelerating the clearance of immune waste from the overloaded mesenteric nodes (restoring GALT precision), and reducing the fluid congestion in the abdominal tissues that can compress the intestines and impede normal peristaltic movement.<\/p>\n <p>Clients who receive regular abdominal lymphatic work frequently report improvements in digestive function that seem disproportionate to what a \"fluid drainage\" treatment should produce. Food feels easier to process. Bloating decreases even though the treatment does not enter the colon. Bowel regularity improves. These outcomes make physiological sense once you understand that the lymphatic system is not merely adjacent to digestion \u2014 it is an active participant in it.<\/p>\n <p>The parasympathetic activation produced by MLD adds a further digestive benefit. The \"rest and digest\" nervous system state that the treatment induces shifts blood flow towards the digestive organs, increases gastric secretion and enhances peristaltic rhythm. For clients whose digestive issues are partly stress-driven (and many are), this neurological reset alone can produce a noticeable improvement in gut comfort and function.<\/p>\n\n <h2>Why It Pairs So Well with Colonic Irrigation<\/h2>\n <p>Colonic irrigation and lymphatic drainage approach gut health from opposite sides of the intestinal wall. <a href=\"\/colonic-irrigation\" class=\"il\">Colonic irrigation<\/a> works from the inside, flushing accumulated waste, gas and toxins from within the colon. Lymphatic drainage works from the outside, clearing fluid congestion, immune debris and inflammatory waste from the tissues that surround the colon.<\/p>\n <p>When both treatments are applied, each one makes the other more effective. The lymphatic drainage clears the tissue environment, reducing abdominal congestion that can physically compress the colon and impede the water cycling process. The subsequent colonic irrigation then operates in a less restricted space, allowing deeper penetration of water and more thorough waste removal. Meanwhile, the toxins mobilised by the lymphatic drainage that travel towards the gut for elimination are physically flushed out during the colonic rather than being partially reabsorbed.<\/p>\n <p>This mutual amplification is not theoretical. Sara observes it in practice: clients who receive the combined treatment consistently release a greater volume of waste during the colonic phase than those who receive a standalone colonic, and they report a more complete sense of internal clearing afterwards. The <a href=\"\/blog\/colonic-irrigation-gut-health\" class=\"il\">colonic irrigation and gut health guide<\/a> covers the colon-specific side of this equation in detail.<\/p>\n\n <h2>The RESET Package \u2014 Both Together<\/h2>\n\n <div class=\"path-grid\">\n <div class=\"path-card\">\n <div class=\"path-icon\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-hand-holding-heart\"><\/i><\/div>\n <h3>Phase 1: Lymphatic Drainage<\/h3>\n <p>50 minutes of targeted MLD activating the mesenteric and abdominal lymphatic channels. Clears fluid congestion from gut tissues, optimises GALT function, stimulates chyle transport and shifts the nervous system into parasympathetic rest-and-digest mode.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"path-card\">\n <div class=\"path-icon\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-droplet\"><\/i><\/div>\n <h3>Phase 2: Colonic Irrigation<\/h3>\n <p>60 minutes of professional colon hydrotherapy flushing the now-decompressed intestine. Removes accumulated waste, trapped gas and the toxins freshly mobilised by the preceding lymphatic treatment. Complete internal and external gut clearing.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <p>The <a href=\"\/reset-detox-package\" class=\"il\">RESET Detox Package<\/a> ($270, 2 hours) delivers both phases in a single appointment. For clients whose primary goal is <strong>digestive health<\/strong>, Sara recommends a monthly RESET cadence, which provides a comprehensive gut reset at a frequency that matches the natural cycle of lymphatic stagnation and waste re-accumulation.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"callout\">\n <p><strong>Not sure where to start?<\/strong> If you've never had either treatment, Sara suggests beginning with a standalone <a href=\"\/lymphatic-drainage-massage\" class=\"il\">lymphatic drainage session<\/a> ($110) to experience the lymphatic component first. If the digestive improvements are notable, adding colonic irrigation at your next visit or upgrading to the RESET provides the complete picture. A <a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/clutterclearingcolonics\/phone-consult\" class=\"il\">free phone consultation<\/a> is also available to discuss your specific digestive concerns.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n <div class=\"faq-item open\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"togBMG(this)\"><h3>How does the lymphatic system affect digestion?<\/h3><span class=\"ftog\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><div class=\"faq-a-in\"><p>The lymphatic system participates directly in three aspects of digestion. Lacteals (specialised lymphatic vessels in the small intestine) absorb all dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins. GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue) provides approximately 70% of the body's immune capacity, screening everything entering the digestive tract. Mesenteric lymph nodes filter gut-derived pathogens and toxins before they reach general circulation. A sluggish lymphatic system compromises all three functions.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"togBMG(this)\"><h3>Can lymphatic drainage massage improve digestion?<\/h3><span class=\"ftog\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><div class=\"faq-a-in\"><p>Yes, though it works indirectly by optimising the lymphatic infrastructure that supports gut function. Improved mesenteric lymphatic flow enhances fat and vitamin absorption, clears immune debris from overloaded nodes (restoring GALT accuracy), reduces tissue congestion that compresses the intestines, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system which increases digestive secretions and peristalsis. Clients regularly report easier food processing, reduced bloating and improved bowel regularity.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"togBMG(this)\"><h3>Should I get lymphatic drainage or colonic irrigation for gut health?<\/h3><span class=\"ftog\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><div class=\"faq-a-in\"><p>They complement rather than compete. Colonic irrigation clears waste from inside the colon; lymphatic drainage clears fluid and immune waste from the tissues surrounding it. Together, they address gut health from both sides of the intestinal wall. The RESET Detox Package combines both in a structured 2-hour session for the most thorough approach. If choosing one to start, colonic irrigation for primarily digestive complaints (constipation, bloating, gas) or lymphatic drainage for primarily fluid and immune-related concerns.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"cta-box\">\n <span class=\"label\">Support Your Gut from Every Angle<\/span>\n <h2>Book at Clutter Clearing Colonics<\/h2>\n <p>Whether you choose lymphatic drainage, colonic irrigation or the comprehensive RESET Package, Sara will tailor the approach to your <strong>digestive health<\/strong> goals.<\/p>\n <div class=\"cta-row\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/clutterclearingcolonics\" class=\"btn btn-teal\"><i class=\"fa-regular fa-calendar\"><\/i> Book RESET \u2014 $270<\/a>\n <a href=\"\/lymphatic-drainage-massage\" class=\"btn btn-outline\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-hand-holding-heart\"><\/i> MLD Only \u2014 $110<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <p style=\"margin-top:18px;font-size:14px;color:var(--text-light);margin-bottom:0\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-location-dot\"><\/i> 3\/245 Macquarie St, Liverpool NSW 2170 \u00b7 <i class=\"fa-solid fa-phone\"><\/i> 0437 577 324<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<script>\n(function(){\n var items = document.querySelectorAll('#ccc-blog-mldgut .faq-item');\n window.togBMG = function(el) {\n var item = el.parentElement;\n var wasOpen = item.classList.contains('open');\n items.forEach(function(i){ i.classList.remove('open'); });\n if (!wasOpen) item.classList.add('open');\n };\n})();\n<\/script>\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Lymphatic Drainage for Gut Health \u2014 How It Helps<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Lymphatic drainage for gut health.

The gut is wrapped in one of the densest concentrations of lymphatic tissue anywhere in the body, and the two systems interact continuously across three distinct functions.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"role-grid\">\n <div class=\"role-card\">\n <i class=\"fa-solid fa-oil-can\"><\/i>\n <h3>Fat Absorption<\/h3>\n <p>Specialised lymphatic vessels called lacteals line the small intestine and are solely responsible for absorbing dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) from digested food.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"role-card\">\n <i class=\"fa-solid fa-shield-halved\"><\/i>\n <h3>Immune Surveillance<\/h3>\n <p>Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) constitutes roughly 70% of the body's total immune capacity, screening everything that enters the digestive tract for potential threats.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"role-card\">\n <i class=\"fa-solid fa-recycle\"><\/i>\n <h3>Waste Clearance<\/h3>\n <p>Mesenteric lymph nodes filter bacteria, toxins and antigens from the gut wall before they reach the general bloodstream, acting as a protective buffer between digestion and circulation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <p><strong>Lacteals and fat absorption<\/strong> are perhaps the least known of these roles. When you eat a meal containing dietary fat, the fat is broken down in the small intestine into fatty acids and glycerol. These molecules are too large to pass directly into the blood capillaries the way water-soluble nutrients do. Instead, they are packaged into particles called chylomicrons and absorbed into the lacteals, the tiny lymphatic capillaries that project into each intestinal villus. From there, the fat-laden lymph (now called chyle, a milky-white fluid) travels through the mesenteric lymphatic vessels, past the mesenteric lymph nodes, and eventually empties into the bloodstream via the thoracic duct near the left collarbone.<\/p>\n <p>This means that <strong>every gram of fat you absorb from food passes through the lymphatic system before reaching the blood<\/strong>. When lymphatic flow is sluggish, fat absorption becomes less efficient. Dietary fats and the essential fat-soluble vitamins they carry (vitamins A, D, E and K, all critical for immune function, bone health, vision and cellular protection) are absorbed incompletely. The nutritional value of the food you're eating is diminished, and unabsorbed fats can contribute to digestive discomfort, greasy stools and a sense that food isn't \"sitting well.\"<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>GALT and immune surveillance<\/strong> represent another layer of the gut-lymphatic partnership. The digestive tract is the body's largest interface with the external environment: everything you swallow, from food and water to airborne particles and bacteria, passes through it. GALT screens this constant stream of material, distinguishing between safe nutrients and potential threats, and mounting localised immune responses when danger is detected. When the mesenteric lymph nodes become overloaded with inflammatory debris (often a consequence of poor diet, gut dysbiosis or conditions like <a href=\"\/blog\/leaky-gut-treatment\" class=\"il\">leaky gut<\/a>), this surveillance becomes less precise. The immune system either overreacts to harmless substances (food sensitivities) or underreacts to genuine threats (increased susceptibility to gut infections).<\/p>\n\n <h2>How Lymphatic Drainage Supports Gut Function<\/h2>\n <p><a href=\"\/blog\/what-is-lymphatic-drainage-massage\" class=\"il\">Manual lymphatic drainage<\/a> supports digestion by optimising the performance of the infrastructure that surrounds and services the gut rather than treating the gut contents directly. When Sara performs abdominal MLD, the targeted strokes activate the mesenteric lymphatic vessels, encouraging more efficient chyle transport (improving fat and vitamin absorption), accelerating the clearance of immune waste from the overloaded mesenteric nodes (restoring GALT precision), and reducing the fluid congestion in the abdominal tissues that can compress the intestines and impede normal peristaltic movement.<\/p>\n <p>Clients who receive regular abdominal lymphatic work frequently report improvements in digestive function that seem disproportionate to what a \"fluid drainage\" treatment should produce. Food feels easier to process. Bloating decreases even though the treatment does not enter the colon. Bowel regularity improves. These outcomes make physiological sense once you understand that the lymphatic system is not merely adjacent to digestion \u2014 it is an active participant in it.<\/p>\n <p>The parasympathetic activation produced by MLD adds a further digestive benefit. The \"rest and digest\" nervous system state that the treatment induces shifts blood flow towards the digestive organs, increases gastric secretion and enhances peristaltic rhythm. For clients whose digestive issues are partly stress-driven (and many are), this neurological reset alone can produce a noticeable improvement in gut comfort and function.<\/p>\n\n <h2>Why It Pairs So Well with Colonic Irrigation<\/h2>\n <p>Colonic irrigation and lymphatic drainage approach gut health from opposite sides of the intestinal wall. <a href=\"\/colonic-irrigation\" class=\"il\">Colonic irrigation<\/a> works from the inside, flushing accumulated waste, gas and toxins from within the colon. Lymphatic drainage works from the outside, clearing fluid congestion, immune debris and inflammatory waste from the tissues that surround the colon.<\/p>\n <p>When both treatments are applied, each one makes the other more effective. The lymphatic drainage clears the tissue environment, reducing abdominal congestion that can physically compress the colon and impede the water cycling process. The subsequent colonic irrigation then operates in a less restricted space, allowing deeper penetration of water and more thorough waste removal. Meanwhile, the toxins mobilised by the lymphatic drainage that travel towards the gut for elimination are physically flushed out during the colonic rather than being partially reabsorbed.<\/p>\n <p>This mutual amplification is not theoretical. Sara observes it in practice: clients who receive the combined treatment consistently release a greater volume of waste during the colonic phase than those who receive a standalone colonic, and they report a more complete sense of internal clearing afterwards. The <a href=\"\/blog\/colonic-irrigation-gut-health\" class=\"il\">colonic irrigation and gut health guide<\/a> covers the colon-specific side of this equation in detail.<\/p>\n\n <h2>The RESET Package \u2014 Both Together<\/h2>\n\n <div class=\"path-grid\">\n <div class=\"path-card\">\n <div class=\"path-icon\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-hand-holding-heart\"><\/i><\/div>\n <h3>Phase 1: Lymphatic Drainage<\/h3>\n <p>50 minutes of targeted MLD activating the mesenteric and abdominal lymphatic channels. Clears fluid congestion from gut tissues, optimises GALT function, stimulates chyle transport and shifts the nervous system into parasympathetic rest-and-digest mode.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"path-card\">\n <div class=\"path-icon\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-droplet\"><\/i><\/div>\n <h3>Phase 2: Colonic Irrigation<\/h3>\n <p>60 minutes of professional colon hydrotherapy flushing the now-decompressed intestine.

Complete internal and external gut clearing.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <p>The <a href=\"\/reset-detox-package\" class=\"il\">RESET Detox Package<\/a> ($270, 2 hours) delivers both phases in a single appointment. For clients whose primary goal is <strong>digestive health<\/strong>, Sara recommends a monthly RESET cadence, which provides a comprehensive gut reset at a frequency that matches the natural cycle of lymphatic stagnation and waste re-accumulation.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"callout\">\n <p><strong>Not sure where to start?<\/strong> If you've never had either treatment, Sara suggests beginning with a standalone <a href=\"\/lymphatic-drainage-massage\" class=\"il\">lymphatic drainage session<\/a> ($110) to experience the lymphatic component first. If the digestive improvements are notable, adding colonic irrigation at your next visit or upgrading to the RESET provides the complete picture. A <a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/clutterclearingcolonics\/phone-consult\" class=\"il\">free phone consultation<\/a> is also available to discuss your specific digestive concerns.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n <div class=\"faq-item open\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"togBMG(this)\"><h3>How does the lymphatic system affect digestion?<\/h3><span class=\"ftog\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><div class=\"faq-a-in\"><p>The lymphatic system participates directly in three aspects of digestion. Lacteals (specialised lymphatic vessels in the small intestine) absorb all dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins. GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue) provides approximately 70% of the body's immune capacity, screening everything entering the digestive tract. Mesenteric lymph nodes filter gut-derived pathogens and toxins before they reach general circulation. A sluggish lymphatic system compromises all three functions.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"togBMG(this)\"><h3>Can lymphatic drainage massage improve digestion?<\/h3><span class=\"ftog\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><div class=\"faq-a-in\"><p>Yes, though it works indirectly by optimising the lymphatic infrastructure that supports gut function. Improved mesenteric lymphatic flow enhances fat and vitamin absorption, clears immune debris from overloaded nodes (restoring GALT accuracy), reduces tissue congestion that compresses the intestines, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system which increases digestive secretions and peristalsis. Clients regularly report easier food processing, reduced bloating and improved bowel regularity.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\" onclick=\"togBMG(this)\"><h3>Should I get lymphatic drainage or colonic irrigation for gut health?<\/h3><span class=\"ftog\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><div class=\"faq-a-in\"><p>They complement rather than compete. Colonic irrigation clears waste from inside the colon; lymphatic drainage clears fluid and immune waste from the tissues surrounding it. Together, they address gut health from both sides of the intestinal wall. The RESET Detox Package combines both in a structured 2-hour session for the most thorough approach. If choosing one to start, colonic irrigation for primarily digestive complaints (constipation, bloating, gas) or lymphatic drainage for primarily fluid and immune-related concerns.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"cta-box\">\n <span class=\"label\">Support Your Gut from Every Angle<\/span>\n <h2>Book at Clutter Clearing Colonics<\/h2>\n <p>Whether you choose lymphatic drainage, colonic irrigation or the comprehensive RESET Package, Sara will tailor the approach to your <strong>digestive health<\/strong> goals.<\/p>\n <div class=\"cta-row\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/clutterclearingcolonics\" class=\"btn btn-teal\"><i class=\"fa-regular fa-calendar\"><\/i> Book RESET \u2014 $270<\/a>\n <a href=\"\/lymphatic-drainage-massage\" class=\"btn btn-outline\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-hand-holding-heart\"><\/i> MLD Only \u2014 $110<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <p style=\"margin-top:18px;font-size:14px;color:var(--text-light);margin-bottom:0\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-location-dot\"><\/i> 3\/245 Macquarie St, Liverpool NSW 2170 \u00b7 <i class=\"fa-solid fa-phone\"><\/i> 0437 577 324<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<script>\n(function(){\n var items = document.querySelectorAll('#ccc-blog-mldgut .faq-item');\n window.togBMG = function(el) {\n var item = el.parentElement;\n var wasOpen = item.classList.contains('open');\n items.forEach(function(i){ i.classList.remove('open'); });\n if (!wasOpen) item.classList.add('open');\n };\n})();\n<\/script>\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Lymphatic Drainage for Gut Health \u2014 How It Helps<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Lymphatic drainage for gut health.
