Gut Health & SIBO

We address GI issues using targeted, bio-individualized plans, resulting in significant improvement and often resolution of GI symptoms.

Some GI issues we work with:

  • Constipation

  • IBS

  • IBD (Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's)

  • Diarrhea

  • Food intolerance and Sensitivity

  • Bloating

  • Reflux

  • SIBO

We use state-of-the-art functional testing and successful clinical experience to determine the best course of action for you.  We then use diet, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation to address your individual needs.

Some commonly ordered tests include:

  • Comprehensive Stool Analysis

  • SIBO breath testing

  • Functional Genomic Testing

  • IgG Food Sensitivity Testing

Some common dietary approaches include:

  • Low FODMAP

  • Elimination Diet

  • Low carbohydrate & sugar

  • Low Histamine

  • Individualized plans to address your specific needs

 

A few more words on SIBO:

  • SIBO is a secondary diagnosis… it never exists on its own without other underlying GI issues.

  • SIBO will not go away without optimizing GI health and addressing these underlying issues.

 

Often SIBO will come back into balance simply by addressing these underlying issues, which include:

  • Low stomach acid

  • Inadequate motility

  • Valve dysfunction

  • Reflux

  • Infection

  • Pancreatic insufficiency

  • Long-term or repeated use of antibiotics or PPIs

  • Constipation
