Located on the right side of the body, just inside the hipbone, the Ileocecal valve regulates the low of fluids and waste. The Houston "valve" (not a true valve), located on the left side of the body just inside the hipbone, helps regulate the actions between the descending colon of the large intestine and the rectum. Together, they play an important role in making sure the body removes nutrients from food and releases unnecessary materials for evacuation.
When the energies of these "valves" are not balanced, it can result in symptoms that mimic serious illnesses like Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome!.
