Specialty Digestive Testing

Naturopathic medicine offers a wide array of diagnostic tools to uncover the root causes of gut symptoms. Testing may include:

Our Treatment Approach

  • Healing and restoring the mucosal lining of the gut
  • Investigating gut flora imbalances such as Candida (fungal overgrowth) or SIBO
  • Discovering food sensitivities and other triggers like stress, medications, and environmental toxins
  • Addressing related imbalances such as autoimmune conditions, hormone imbalances, and digestive enzyme insufficiency

Treatment Modalities

Your plan may include botanical medicine, nutritional counseling, nutritional supplementation, probiotics, and digestive enzymes. When nutrient absorption is compromised, nutrient IV therapy can help restore levels quickly.

Why Gut Health Matters

Your gut function and diet directly affect how you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally. The gut influences immunity, inflammation, mood, skin health, and even thyroid function. A healthy diet and well-rounded gut health are essential to optimal health, vitality, and longevity.

Digestive Disorder FAQs

What causes bloating, gas, and abdominal pain?

Common causes include food sensitivities, SIBO, dysbiosis, low digestive enzymes, stress, medications, and inflammation of the gut lining. Testing helps identify which factors apply to you.

What is SIBO?

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when too many bacteria grow in the small intestine, causing bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation. It is diagnosed with a breath test.

What is leaky gut syndrome?

Leaky gut refers to increased intestinal permeability, where the gut lining is damaged and allows particles to trigger inflammation. Treatment focuses on healing the mucosal lining and removing triggers.

Can naturopathic medicine help IBS?

Yes. We identify triggers such as food sensitivities, dysbiosis, and stress, then use diet, botanicals, and supplements to calm and restore digestion.

What does a comprehensive stool analysis show?

It evaluates digestion, absorption, inflammation, gut bacteria balance, yeast, and parasites to guide targeted treatment.

Do you treat reflux and GERD naturally?

Yes. Our physicians look for underlying causes and use dietary changes, botanicals, and supplements to support healthy digestion.
