IBS is one of the most common disorders of the digestive system, with an estimated 1/3 of the American population experiencing some symptoms throughout their life. Despite its prevalence, traditional medicine has very few solutions for the problem. Medications may help diminish the symptoms but do very little to address the root cause of the problem. Our office is sharply focused on identifying the source of the problem at its core.
While IBS does not have one specific cause, there seem to be multiple simultaneous reasons why the condition exists. The holistic, whole-body approach we take in most cases is the exact long-term solution you're looking for. At Health N.O.W. we've identified food sensitivities, Leaky Gut Syndrome, dysbiosis, gut infections, SIBO, impaired Brain-Gut Axis and gastrointestinal inflammation to be the root causes of IBS.
Gastrointestinal problems can be a menace and disrupt many aspects of your life. IBS is commonly misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and improperly managed. Since no two cases are the same, an individualized approach must be taken. At Health N.O.W., we evaluate the entire person and create a personalized gut healing program specifically just for you through addressing the root cause.
When your digestive tract becomes damaged by environmental and life factors such as stress, toxins, antibiotics, foods, inflammation or infections, it loses its ability to function properly. Abdominal swelling and pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea and/or constipation, heartburn/acid reflux and food sensitivities are just some of the symptoms you may experience. Ultimately, you don't feel like yourself and have lost your ability to live your life to its fullest potential.
DIGESTION AND GUT: THE KEY TO HEALTH
Here at Health N.O.W. we’ve seen first-hand with our patients how vital the digestive system health is to the human body and brain. The inflammation and negative changes in gut microbiome (good bacteria) poorly influence other aspects of our body, leading to conditions like depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, headaches, thyroid disease, stress, neuropathy and musculoskeletal aches and pain
