Digestive & Gut Health Treatments

Acid reflux

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) causes stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus, leading to heartburn, regurgitation, and potential complications. Comprehensive management addresses underlying causes through dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, and targeted medications for symptom relief and healing.

Get acid reflux care

Bile acid malabsorption

Bile acid malabsorption occurs when bile acids are not properly reabsorbed in the small intestine, leading to chronic diarrhea, urgency, and digestive discomfort. Treatment involves bile acid sequestrants and dietary modifications to control symptoms and restore normal bowel function.

Get bile acid malabsorption care

Bloating and gas

Excessive bloating and gas can cause significant discomfort and social embarrassment, often resulting from food intolerances, SIBO, poor digestion, or gut microbiome imbalances. Treatment addresses underlying causes through dietary modifications, digestive support, and targeted interventions for symptom relief.

Get bloating and gas care

Candida Overgrowth

Candida overgrowth in the digestive tract can cause bloating, fatigue, sugar cravings, and digestive discomfort. Treatment involves antifungal therapy, dietary modifications, and gut microbiome restoration to eliminate excess yeast and restore healthy bacterial balance for optimal digestive function.

Get candida overgrowth care

Celiac disease support

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten consumption, causing intestinal damage and malabsorption. Management requires strict gluten-free diet adherence, nutritional monitoring, and ongoing support to heal intestinal damage and prevent complications while maintaining quality of life.

Get celiac disease care

Constipation relief

Chronic constipation involves infrequent or difficult bowel movements that can cause discomfort, bloating, and impact quality of life. Treatment addresses underlying causes through dietary fiber optimization, hydration strategies, lifestyle modifications, and targeted therapies to restore regular bowel function.

Get constipation relief

Diarrhea management

Chronic or recurrent diarrhea can result from infections, food intolerances, medications, or digestive disorders, significantly impacting daily life and causing dehydration and nutrient loss. Comprehensive management identifies underlying causes and provides targeted treatments to restore normal bowel function.

Get diarrhea management care

Digestive enzyme support

Digestive enzyme deficiency can cause bloating, gas, undigested food in stool, and nutrient malabsorption. Enzyme supplementation and digestive support help improve food breakdown and nutrient absorption while addressing underlying causes of enzyme insufficiency for optimal digestive function.

Get digestive enzyme care

Food sensitivity testing

Food sensitivities can cause digestive discomfort, inflammation, fatigue, or skin reactions after eating certain foods. Comprehensive testing and elimination protocols help identify trigger foods and develop personalized dietary strategies to reduce symptoms and improve overall health.

Get food insensitivity care

Gastroparesis support

Gastroparesis involves delayed stomach emptying that can cause nausea, vomiting, bloating, and blood sugar fluctuations. Management focuses on dietary modifications, prokinetic medications, and symptom control strategies to improve stomach function and quality of life.

Get gastroparesis care

Gut health optimization

Gut health optimization focuses on improving digestive function, microbiome balance, and intestinal health to enhance overall wellness, immunity, and mental health. Comprehensive approaches include microbiome testing, targeted probiotics, dietary modifications, and treatments to heal intestinal permeability and optimize nutrient absorption.

Gut-brain axis optimization

The gut-brain connection influences mood, cognition, and mental health through the vagus nerve and microbiome signaling. Optimization strategies address both digestive health and mental wellness through targeted interventions that support the bidirectional communication between gut and brain.

Get gut-brain axis care

H. pylori treatment

Helicobacter pylori bacterial infection can cause stomach ulcers, gastritis, and increased stomach cancer risk. Effective treatment involves targeted antibiotic therapy combined with acid suppression to eradicate the bacteria and promote healing while preventing complications and reinfection.

Get H. pylori treatment care

IBS management

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) causes chronic digestive symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits that can significantly impact daily life and well-being. Management involves identifying trigger foods, stress reduction techniques, targeted medications, and gut-healing protocols to reduce symptoms and improve digestive comfort.

Get irritable bowel care

Inflammatory bowel support

Inflammatory bowel conditions including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis cause chronic intestinal inflammation requiring ongoing management. Supportive care focuses on reducing inflammation, managing symptoms, and optimizing nutrition while coordinating with gastroenterology specialists for comprehensive care.

Get inflammatory bowel care

Lactose intolerance

Lactose intolerance involves difficulty digesting dairy products due to lactase enzyme deficiency, causing bloating, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Management includes dietary modifications, lactase supplementation, and alternative nutrition strategies to maintain comfort and nutritional adequacy.

Get lactose intolerance care

Leaky gut syndrome

Increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut) allows toxins, bacteria, and undigested food particles to pass through the intestinal wall, potentially triggering inflammation and immune reactions. Treatment focuses on healing the gut lining through dietary modifications, supplements, and lifestyle interventions.

Get leaky gut care

Pancreatic enzyme deficiency

Pancreatic enzyme deficiency impairs fat, protein, and carbohydrate digestion, leading to malabsorption, weight loss, and nutritional deficiencies. Treatment involves pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy and nutritional optimization to restore proper digestion and prevent complications.

Get pancreatic enzyme deficiency care

SIBO treatment

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when bacteria overgrow in the small intestine, causing bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and malabsorption. Treatment involves antimicrobial therapy, dietary modifications, and addressing underlying causes to restore normal gut bacteria balance and digestive function.

Get SIBO treatment

Stomach ulcer healing

Peptic ulcers cause stomach or duodenal pain, often related to H. pylori infection or NSAID use. Comprehensive healing involves addressing underlying causes, acid suppression, mucosal protection, and lifestyle modifications to promote healing and prevent recurrence while managing pain and complications.
