Understanding GI Disorders

GI issues encompass a wide range of conditions, including:

  • IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome): Both IBS-D (diarrhea-predominant) and IBS-C (constipation-predominant).
  • GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease): Persistent acid reflux or heartburn.
  • Leaky Gut / Intestinal Permeability: Compromised gut lining leading to systemic inflammation and food intolerances.
  • SIBO and SIFO: Overgrowth of bacteria or fungi in the small intestine.
  • Food Allergies and Intolerances: Including celiac and non-celiac gluten sensitivities.
  • Chronic Autoimmune Digestive Disorders: Such as Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis.
  • Gallbladder and Liver Disorders: Including post-gallbladder removal care and metabolic liver disorders.
  • Bloating: Often a symptom of underlying GI imbalances or conditions.

These conditions can manifest as abdominal pain, bloating, chronic diarrhea or constipation, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, reflux, or food sensitivities.
