BLOATING & GASTROINTESTINAL ISSUES
The gut health plays a crucial role in our immune health. If you have suffered through severe and painful bloating for years, it's time to go beyond just popping a pill and take the necessary steps to maintain your health. The team at Integrative Healing Wellness is dedicated to addressing the root causes of your gut issues, offering a comprehensive solution that goes beyond traditional medicine.
With bloating and other gut issues, we have heard stories from many patients such as "oh it's something I've learned to live with.." or "it must be natural and this is how my body is..." or "it's only an occasional side-effect of what I ate...". We know how frustrating it can be to be on a rollercoaster of never knowing which foods you can eat without needing days to recover from the bloating.
UNDERSTANDING BLOATING & GASTROINTESTINAL ISSUES:
What are the signs of an unhealthy gut?
When your body doesn't have enough good bacteria, bad bacteria can thrive.
Some common signs of an unhealthy gut include: digestive issues, chronic fatigue, skin problems and allergies, autoimmune conditions, food intolerance, unexplained weight changes, stress and sugar cravings.
Why gut health matters?
Research is showing us that our gut health can affect every organ in our body. It is the main portal for taking in and processing nutrients. Did you know that 70-80% of your immune system is located in your gut! It acts as the center for fighting diseases.
Digestive diseases affect 60 to 70 million Americans, ranging from gallstones and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to SIOB, Celiac and Crohn's disease.
Functional medicine can provide relief and help improve overall gut health by addressing the root cause of these conditions.
