Common Digestive Imbalances Behind IBS & How Naturopaths Treat Them
1. SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)
SIBO is a condition in which there is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including bloating, abdominal pain, gas, constipation and diarrhea. To confirm a SIBO diagnosis, your naturopath may recommend a SIBO Breath Test and if positive create a targeted treatment plan using herbal antimicrobials. Discover how we address SIBO naturally in Toronto.
2. Dysbiosis
Low stomach acid, or hypochlorhydria, can impair digestion, cause bloating, and reduce nutrient absorption. At NDcare, we support stomach function through a combination of nutrition adjustments, herbal remedies, and digestive enzyme therapy designed to improve acid levels and digestive efficiency.
3. Hypochlorhydria
Hypochlorhydria is a condition in which there is a low level of stomach acid. Insufficient stomach acid can lead to poor digestion, bloating and nutrient deficiencies. Our naturopathic approach uses a combination of dietary changes, digestive enzyme support and herbal medicine designed to optimize stomach function.
4. Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI)
EPI occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough digestive enzymes, leading to symptoms like bloating, gas, and loose stools. To assess this, your naturopath may recommend the elastase stool test. Treatment often involves enzyme replacement to support better food breakdown and absorption.
