Gastrointestinal Health

YOU CAN LIVE A HAPPY AND PAIN-FREE LIFE

How you feel

I have so many stomach issues and I’m in pain all the time from gas and bloating. Sometimes my gut pain is so severe it is debilitating and makes me weak and exhausted. It hurts to go to the bathroom, and have constant bowel problems alternating between constipation and diarrhea. I feel nauseous—sometimes I vomit. I’m afraid to go anywhere because I might experience a “GI episode” around friends, family, or (worse) colleagues. I’m also afraid to eat because I don’t know what foods will have this effect on me. I think about it all the time and I feel socially handicapped because of my issues.

The challenge of gastrointestinal health issues

Many people suffer from gastrointestinal diseases such as IBS, IBD, colitis, Crohn’s, or gastroparesis and they have no idea why. Most don’t even remember what it feels like to have a properly working digestive system. Western medicine will treat based on the symptoms above, however, GI issues typically run deeper than just the symptoms.

The causes of gastrointestinal issues

  • Diet and food allergens
  • Leaky Gut
  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
  • Yeast overgrowth
  • Parasites
  • Stress
  • Dysbiosis

Functional medicine for gastrointestinal health

Life should not revolve around wondering if your own body might embarrass you at any moment. The very heart of functional medicine looks at the digestive tract as many of the body’s issues can be traced back to it. Since people can experience gastrointestinal symptoms differently, I will take a comprehensive evaluation, including diagnostic testing as well as a GI-MAP, and find the root cause of your specific issue. Then, with customized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, I will help your body heal itself. Read Katherine’s story and let functional medicine speak for itself. You can live a happy, comfortable and pain-free life, and I can help.
