​Natural Solutions for Irritable Bowel Syndrome


Did you know that Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is often a misdiagnosis? There are many other digestive problems that can look like IBS. My first step is ensuring these have been ruled out. Unlike IBS, these problems can all be treated quite easily. These common problems include things like: 
​
  • Celiac disease
  • Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
  • Yeast overgrowth in the intestines (Candida) 
  • Mold infection in the gut 
  • Intestinal parasite infection
  • Bacterial infection 
  • Food sensitivities

​Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion, which means it should only be diagnosed when everything else has been ruled out. If IBS is truly the issue (and nothing else), treatment includes managing your symptoms and regulating your nervous system. ​
