Alternating Constipation and Diarrhoea
An effective and holistic approach for IBS
Do you have digestive discomfort or have IBS?
Have you been told there is little that can be done beyond treating the discomfort and symptoms?
IBS can be uncomfortable for some, inconvenient for others (excessive wind?), or debilitating (where are the toilets?). It can also limit what you can eat – no fun at all!
As one of Melbourne’s most trusted Nutritionists and Functional Medicine practitioners, I specialise in getting to the root cause of chronic gut issues such as IBS, and helping you regain your health.
Symptoms of IBS
- Gas and bloating
- Food intolerances
- Anxiety or depression
- Fatigue and difficulty sleeping
- Pain and cramping
- Constipation
- Diarrhoea
- Changes in Bowel Movements
- Reflux
Do you feel like nothing works?
Many people who have suffered from IBS for an extended period believe there is little that can be done beyond easing symptoms with medications. In most cases, a conventional doctor is not able to ascertain the underlying cause of IBS. She can then only treat the symptoms using drugs or surgery.
Sometimes the patient is told that the condition is all in their head and nothing can be done.
What causes IBS?
Frustrated by your IBS diagnosis and looking for answers?
Unlike ‘conventional’ medicine specialists, we don’t just treat the symptoms of IBS, but instead spend the root causes of IBS in your case.
The potential causes include
- Bacterial and/or fungal overgrowth including small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and Candida
- Unbalanced eco-system of gut bacteria
- Poor digestion including stomach acid and digestive enzymes
- Unusual speed of food moving through your gut (transit time)
- An immune system reaction to particular foods
- Emotional and Psychological stress
- Physical adhesions or blockages in the gut
Once we have identified the causes of your gut issues, we make use of nutrition, targeted supplements and lifestyle interventions.
We follow a logical step-by-step process to heal your gut without antibiotics.
