Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

 

 

IBS used to be referred to as having a “nervous stomach”.  Digestive disorders like lactose intolerance, diverticulosis, Crohn’s and colon cancer can have similar symptoms so it is important to have a complete evaluation by your naturopathic doctor to determine if what you have is IBS. 

 

Common symptoms of IBS include the following ongoing problems:

  • Abdominal pain and bloating

  • Constipation and/or diarrhea

  • Gas/flatulence

  • Nausea

  • Low appetite

  • Anxiety or depression

  • Painful bowel movements

Our research supports the following possible causes of IBS:

 

*       Multiple food sensitivities and/or intolerances

*       Inadequate nutrition, especially the consumption of large amounts of highly refined, sugary, low-fiber foods

*       High levels of stress

*       Lack of digestive enzymes or stomach acid

*       Not enough of the “good” bacteria needed for intestinal health or too much harmful bacteria or yeast

*       Lack of exercise

 

Benefits Of Our Naturopathic Approach to IBS

 

  • Individualized to you – since the problem can arise from multiple causes, there is no “one-size fits all” solution

  • You have access to the most sensitive and scientific testing for 190 potential food allergies

  • Your gastrointestinal tract can be healed to eliminate your IBS symptoms and increase nutrient absorption and immune system health

  • We can guide you through cleansing your digestive tract of harmful bacteria and yeast and restoring the beneficial bacteria.  Our cleanses don’t involve harmful laxative herbs.

  • You can replenish and regenerate your own digestive enzymes and stomach acid

  • You gain a better understanding of which agents or foods are aggravating your digestive system

 

Other digestive problems that your naturopathic doctor can help treat include:

 

*       Indigestion, bloating

*       Heartburn

*       Constipation, diarrhea

*       Candida

*       Crohn’s Disease

*       Ulcerative Colitis

*       Gastro-esophageal reflux (GERD)

*       Stomach/Intestinal Ulcers

*       Hemorrhoids

*       Mouth canker sores

*       Colon Cancer
