The Naturopathic Medicine Approach to Treating Gas & Bloating
- Mock Webware
In Naturopathic medicine, we strive to treat the root cause of gas and bloating. In addition to taking a full medical history, some of the specialized lab tests we commonly run to assess the root cause of bloating and gas may include the following:
- Lactulose breath test panels to identify bacterial overgrowths in the small intestine
- Comprehensive Stool Analysis panels to identify bacteria & yeast overgrowths, assess beneficial bacteria levels, enzyme secretion and macronutrient malabsorption issues.
- IgG Food Sensitivity blood test panels to identify antibody reactions to different foods
- Functional testing for stomach acid secretion
- Hormone Testing
Following a comprehensive assessment, Naturopathic treatment for addressing chronic gas and bloating includes a mix of dietary changes, nutritional medicine and herbal medicine therapies designed to restore gut function and/or improve hormone imbalances.
Gut Repair & Hormone Balancing is What We do.
