Imagine not having to worry about where the next bathroom is! Irritable bowel syndrome is disruptive daily life and the ability to live or be creative in life!
There are many typical natural medicine or alternative medicine tricks that you may have already tried such as regular meals, exercising and avoiding food problems. How do you know what your food problems are though? Fortunately we have food intolerance testing that can take the guess work out. It is often thought of as allergy testing. We test up to 184 food markers in 2-3 parts of your activated immune system. These are simple finger sticks available in our office so you no longer need to guess what foods may or may not be bothering you. It can take 2-4 days to get a reaction to a food since it is a delayed reaction so it is no wonder you can figure out what is bothering you or your child’s belly! Food intolerance tests will identify the foods that cause the IBS symptoms so you can start getting some relief.
You may also experience bloating and gas with your irritable bowel syndrome. Bloating almost always has to do with two things- digestion or bugs. Digestion can mean a lack of pancreatic enzyme active for a variety of reasons, food intolerances which can be hard to get nutrients from and sometimes just food combinations. Bugs can mean a variety of microbial imbalance of infections, whether parasitic, worms, protozoa or bacterial. Flares can be from the imbalances of the flora fluctuating- increasing in numbers.
Fortunately we have a number of stool panels that can be an incredibly helpful and holistic tool for a patient with irritable bowel syndrome. It allows the Naturopathic doctor to assess not just O&P and yeast but the inflammation in the large intestine and small intestine, whether you have enzymes to digest your food, the balance of good bacteria in your belly, whether bad bacteria is thriving as well are ruling out more common infections. This functional medicine approach allow the integrative doctor to put the piece together about the whole digestive system and why you are having irritable bowel syndrome.
