Nutritional therapy, naturopathy and functional medicine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and other digestive complaints in London and Totnes, Devon (South Hams).
For those who have not experienced them chronic gut conditions may appear to be minor ailments.
In fact, aside from the obvious discomfort, gut conditions are associated with micronutrient deficiency due to malabsorption (1), fatigue (2), insomnia, anxiety and depression (3), osteoporosis, skin conditions & joint pains (4), headache (5), cognitive dysfunction (6) and even conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (7) and ADHD (8).
Gut imbalances can adversely effect every system of the body: immune function (9), thyroid function (10), adrenal function (11), oestrogen levels (12), liver (13) and kidney (14) function, cardiovascular (15) and bone health (4). They even affect energy production at the subcellular level in the mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells.
Functional and genetic testing may be helpful for determining the most effective support for chronic gut conditions such as:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
- Fungal infection such as candida overgrowth
- Parasitic infections
- Crohn’s Disease
- Ulcerative colitis
- Acid reflux (GERD/GORD)
- Intestinal permeability (‘Leaky Gut’)
- Food intolerance or food sensitivity
- Chronic constipation
- Chronic diarrhoea
