IBS might not be a pleasant topic to talk about, but it’s a very common disorder that affects millions of people across the country. In addition to causing abdominal pain on a regular basis, it can also cause a number of other digestive issues that make daily life stressful, embarrassing, and uncomfortable. This can understandably leave anyone seeking relief, which is why most patients turn to their regular care providers for help.
Unfortunately, modern medicine is generally ill-equipped to provide comprehensive care that does not involve medications with known side effects, which is why it’s worthwhile to explore alternative care.
Our functional medicine practitioners have some of the best resources when it comes to treating IBS with minimal side effects. This is because we make holistic integrated care a priority and don’t rely on prescription drugs that don’t actually heal the problem. Our approach to dealing with this disorder is personalized, meaning you get the quality of care that you both need and deserve. If you’ve never sought this form of medical care, then you’ll be delighted to learn how we can help you starting with comprehensive testing
1. Testing
While you might have been tested for a variety of digestive issues by your traditional care provider, what you likely aren’t told is that those tests are often too broad to determine the exact cause of your symptoms. This is why we provide extensive testing for the entire body using a functional lab analysis.(link to sample functional lab report). This helps us learn about any possible dysfunctions, deficiencies, or imbalances that may be contributing to the IBS symptoms.
2. Interpreting Results
One of the best parts of our approach is that we spend time discussing test results with you in detail. You will see actual evidence of the root cause of the issue, whether you have leak gut syndrome, food allergies, a hormonal imbalance, or a condition that’s contributing to your IBS. Through this information, we are able to naturally address each and every underlying issue without dangerous prescription drugs.
3. Addressing the Root Cause of the Problem
The next step in care is to eliminate the underlying problems by addressing each of them specifically. For example, if you had certain food allergies or intolerances contributing to your IBS, we will assist you with eliminating foods within that group. And if you were deficient in vitamins that were necessary for a healthy digestive system, we would start incorporating those into your diet. These little changes can make a big difference with IBS overall and may lead to decreased symptom flare-ups and improved health in the future.
