Chronic Digestive Issue

Conditions We Treat

We specialize in treating chronic digestive issues, helping thousands of patients overcome conditions such as:

• Chronic constipation
• Diarrhea
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
• Parasites and fungal overgrowth
• Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease
• Food reactivity
• Celiac Disease

Comprehensive Testing for Accurate Diagnosis

To create a tailored treatment plan, we utilize advanced diagnostic testing, including:

• Stool Testing: Evaluates gut microbiome, metabolic function, detects parasites and fungal overgrowth, assesses intestinal inflammation, and checks for markers of leaky gut.
• Breath Testing: Identifies the presence of SIBO, helping to pinpoint bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.
• Food Sensitivity Testing: Determines specific food intolerances and screens for celiac disease, guiding dietary adjustments.
• Urine Mycotoxin Testing (needed in certain cases): Assesses exposure to harmful toxins that may be impacting digestive health.

These tests provide a detailed understanding of your digestive system, allowing us to create a personalized treatment strategy.

Our 5R Approach to Treating Chronic Digestive Dysfunction

1. Removal: This step involves identifying and eliminating factors that are damaging your digestive health. This may include removing harmful foods, pathogens, or environmental toxins contributing to your symptoms.
2. Replacement: In this phase, we focus on replacing essential digestive components that may be lacking. This can involve introducing digestive enzymes or hydrochloric acid to enhance nutrient absorption and improve overall digestion.
3. Repair: Here, we work to heal the gut lining and restore optimal gut function. Nutritional support, such as glutamine and other healing nutrients, may be used to repair the intestinal barrier and reduce inflammation.
4. Reinoculation: To restore a healthy balance of gut bacteria, we reintroduce beneficial probiotics and prebiotics. This helps repopulate the gut microbiome, improving digestion and overall gut health.
5. Rebalancing: Finally, we focus on maintaining long-term digestive health through dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, and ongoing support. This may involve stress management techniques, exercise, and regular monitoring of your digestive health.
