An IBS specialist should know that irritable bowel treatment must consider multiple contributing factors. We strive to understand what is causing your bowel’s condition. Then, we take the necessary steps for improvement, with integrative treatment of those multiple causative factors.
Do you know why you have irritable bowel symptoms? We have experience with IBS, and know it has multiple possible causes. Our goal is to investigate those underlying causes.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is not the same as an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
IBS is not IBD, but they share similar symptoms, like bloating, excess gas, diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, and frequent bowel movements. Did they tell you to take drugs (medications) for the rest of your life because you have IBS or IBD? Did they say you are at risk for Crohn’s disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis, (IBD) or colon cancer if you refuse those drugs? We don’t use scare tactics like that. The idea of a lifetime drug prescription is scary enough. We want to prevent the reasons why you would have to take those drugs in the first place.
Integrative IBS treatment, Integrative IBD treatment
We use a completely drug-free treatment approach for IBS and IBD. Through extensive investigations, our analysis method helps us determine the contributing underlying causes of your irritable bowel. We also find your best starting point, which could, for example, be a unique product called GI-Stability.
Importantly, we are not trying to temporarily suppress, or hide IBS or IBD symptoms. Our goal is to promote healthier function. Even when a parasite or candida is causing inflammation, it’s usually not the only thing we address. A comprehensive plan is in order. The “one-cause one-cure” idea is old-school medicine. The key for you is accepting that there may be multiple irritable bowel causes.
Some people ask if we are IBS specialists. We don’t limit our practice to IBS. Generally, about 1 in 20 general practitioner’s consultations involve the lower gastrointestinal tract. If you think of it, IBS specialists would only work with IBS patients. However, we see people with a wide range of digestive problems. Some can not be labeled as IBS. We address Crohn’s disease treatment, ulcerative colitis treatment, or SIBO. We can help indigestion and burning stomach, feeling of fullness after only eating a little bit, food intolerances or food allergies. Surprisingly, there are symptoms that don’t seem related to irritable bowel at all, such as sciatica, ADD, or chronic fatigue.
We are specialists in integrative treatment, supporting optimum physiology with natural methods. This is an alternative treatment to suppressing individual symptoms. We use a natural, functional medicine, clinical nutrition approach, and we have seen great results.
