29 May 2023 — This year’s World Digestive Health Day focuses on how gut health develops inside the womb and the changing dietary needs of the gastrointestinal tract from birth through to infancy, childhood and adulthood. The World Gastroenterology Organisation has chosen ‘A Healthy Gut from the Start’ as its focus for this year’s campaign.
