Digestive Health
Considering most of us eat 3 solid meals a day, up to 3 snacks, 1.5ltr of water plus a few coffees with a total of almost 60+ ingredients, it’s not surprising that at one stage or another things haven’t felt quite right.
If however a digestive complaint is reoccurring maybe its time to make an appointment. A tailored treatment plan is easy to follow and implement and you can expect long lasting positive changes.
Bloating, constipation, diarrhea and bad breath
Bloating, constipation, diarrhea, bad breath and stomach pain are not uncommon. At one stage or another most people have experienced these. Although common when it is occurring often it is unusual and often and indication something is amiss with the digestive system.
Often by taking a thorough case history, looking at your diet and lifestyle choices it is often quite clear what is going on. A treatment plan is made for you and improvements are generally quick, with changes occurring in as little as 5 days.
Food allergies/intolerances
With allergies and intolerances on the rise it is becoming more and more common in clinic patients having some degree of food intolerance, from the classic wheat and dairy to now fruits, grains and a wide variety of other foods.
By utilising the more current scientific pathology tests, by a simple blood sample, complete food groups can be checked and assessed for the level of intolerance this coupled with a thorough Naturopathy plan to repair the GUT and desensitize and over active immune system long lasting changes can be noted.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is marked by abnormal function of the colon; abnormal motility, pain, diarrhea, constipation/hard stools and increased production of mucous. IBS had a large component linked to the brain and serotonin.
Treatment is more than just symptomatic relief of digestive complaints. But also addressing and treating the person holistically. IBS like many digestive complaints responds well to Naturopathy herbal and nutritional treatment. With numerous digestive tests available, direct and specific diet changes alongside Naturopathy can give long lasting positive results.
Inflammatory bowel disease-Ulcerative colitis/Crohn’s Disease
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease (IBD) has a strong genetic component with chronic and painful symptoms. Patients can find the disease debilitating to live with, having a huge impact on their physical and mental health as well as an effect on their social lives. Most patients come into the clinic already heavily medicated. This doesn’t mean Naturopathy can’t help.
Having treated numerous cases of IBD, looking at it from a holistic angle, utilising scientific tests and assessing all areas of health, patients have noted huge lasting improvements in quality of life and reduction in symptoms.
