Healthy gastrointestinal function is central to overall well being. Effective processing and delivery of nutrients makes a critical difference in our long-term health. Autoimmune diseases, food allergies, toxic stress and other serious conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are linked to gastrointestinal dysfunction.
Diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal issues is a hallmark of our clinical expertise. We can help the patient determine the following:
- The cause of gas, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation
- Gut dysbiosis and inflammation causing digestive difficiencies
- Lactose intolerance
- Excessive levels of bacterial enzyme activity in the intestine promoting hormonal imbalances and gastrointestinal irritation
- Short chain fatty acid inadequacy linke to increased incidence of colon cancer and ulcerative colitis
- Bacterial and yeast overgrowth that underlie gastrointestinal symptoms, chronic fatigue, mood shifts and weakened immune function
- Chronic digestive dysfunction that may develop into leaky gut, food allergies, toxic stress and systemic autoimmune reactions
- High toxic burden levels, small bowel bacteria overgrowth and severe inflammation
- The presence of parasites
