Do you suffer from heartburn or feeling bloated all the time, especially after you eat? Is there pain in your belly after mealtimes that eventually leads to diarrhea or constipation?
Although unpleasant to think about, almost everyone experiences these symptoms at some point. But if these are daily hurdles for you, occurring repeatedly over several months, there is more going on in your gut.
This is especially the case if you find yourself staying within running distance from a bathroom, knowing you are going to be in there for 20 minutes or more at a time!
If situations like these are a daily predicament, you might be thinking, “What is wrong with me? Why is my digestion so out of whack Why has eating becoming such a difficult task for me?”
Thoughts like this may make you feel lonely, depressed and desperate for answers, particularly if you have gone to several doctors and nobody seems to pinpoint the problem.
I understand these types of scenarios, and have worked with hundreds of patients with gastrointestinal problems to help them resolve heartburn, indigestion, bloating, diarrhea and constipation. Here’s a list of common conditions that we address in the Pillars of Gastrointestinal Health Program:
-
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Chronic Constipation and/or Diarrhea
- Intestinal Permeability (Leaky Gut Syndrome)
- Food Sensitivities
- Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
- Gut-Brain Connection & Microbiome Optimization
- Chronic Diseases associated with GI Dysfunction
If you have one or more of these health challenges, we invite you to join our Pillars of Gastrointestinal Program to learn natural approaches to addressing gut health challenges.
Freedom from GERD, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea…
