Ulcerative Colitis, Crohns and IBS

Have you been struggling with a GI condition with no hope in sight?

People with IBS, Crohn's, Colitis, and other GI conditions are often told they need to "manage" or "deal with" life long symptoms such as abdominal pain or discomfort, frequent diarrhea or constipation, a change in bowel habits, urgency for bowel movements, a feeling of incomplete evacuation (tenesmus), bloating, and/or abdominal distention.

Additionally, those who have one or more of these Functional Disorders of the digestive system commonly also have gastro-esophageal reflux, frequent bladder infections, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, headaches, migraines, backache, and more to deal with as well.

It can affect your ability to fulfill the commitments you've made, to spend time with family and friends, and to be truly present in your own life. It is no wonder that affective disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and/or panic disorders are so commonly seen in people with these conditions.


Fortunately, There is Another Way!


As a Functional Medicine and Preventative Health Practice, we take a different approach to the treatment and prevention of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, and other GI issues. Where conventional medicine simply attempts to mask the symptoms of these often debilitating conditions with aggressive, potentially damaging, treatment protocols, we specialize in treating the CAUSE of bowel dysfunction. With years of clinical experience and access to specialized Functional Lab testing, no stone will be left unturned in determining the root causes of your dysfunction. Once the causes are discovered and resolved, the GI symptoms just...VANISH.

Doesn't it make more sense to treat the cause rather than try to just "cover-up" the symptoms with medications and/or procedures? This approach is the reason we are different than other doctors you may have seen and why our program is so successful in resolving GI conditions.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME?


There are many causes and triggers associated with IBS, Crohn's, Colitis, and other inflammatory bowel conditions. Triggers and causes can range from metabolic problems like hidden bowel infections, (yeast, parasites, bacteria), nutritional deficiencies, and food allergies, to chemical toxicities or environmental irritants. Our foundational program, along with neurological and laboratory testing, can address the causes of the bowel inflammation, irritation, and dysfunction, allowing you to correct them and gain your life back!

HOW DO WE TREAT IBS, CROHN'S, AND COLITIS?

Our Comprehensive Functional Medicine and Preventative Health program is so successful because we address both the metabolic roots of disease and dysfunction AND the environmental and lifestyle-related issues that cause those roots to grow in the first place. By utilizing precise Brain Based Therapy when indicated and specific metabolic treatments, we can give you the relief from the inflammatory GI conditions that you desperately need. The BBT is designed to restore normal nerve impulses to the bowel while the metabolic care resolves the biochemical causes of IBS and other bowel diseases. These therapies are designed to address the causes, not just "mask" or "cover-up" the symptoms as drugs do. No matter how long you've suffered from IBS, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's, Colitis, or other GI issues, and no matter how severe it is, this program works! And it will work for you too!
