Diseases of the digestive system

Millions of people experience abdominal discomfort, irregular bowel movements, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation, but lack a clear diagnosis and effective treatment. These symptoms may vary over time, alternately coming and going, and cause significant distress and inconvenience. In the past, these symptoms were often attributed to psychosocial factors. However, over the last decade, the understanding which has long been held by integrative and naturopathic physicians has become widely accepted - these digestive disorders are caused by dietary factors, abnormal digestive function, altered gastrointestinal flora, food allergies and sensitivities, immune dysfunction, and inflammation, neuroendocrine disorders, stress, and other factors.

The integrative medicine approach is focused on diagnosing functional imbalances and different patterns of interactions between the components of the overall system, using laboratory and clinical testing, correcting biochemical imbalances, optimizing nutrition, correcting gut flora, restoring permeability, fortifying the immune system, and managing stress. This approach addresses the unique needs of the individual patient to achieve balance and optimal function, bring significant improvement to the sense of wellbeing, mood, energy, mental function, rev up metabolism, and help with weight loss.
