1:1 PERSONALIZED GUT HEALTH SUPPORT

IBS, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, is a common GI disorder that affects 40% of the world’s population.  It is a disorder of the gut-brain axis that is characterized by a cluster of symptoms such as abdominal pain or discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, or both. Bloating, gas, and a feeling of incomplete bowel movements are also common. The exact cause of IBS is not fully understood, but factors such as unidentified infections, dysbiotic microbial overgrowth, diet, stress, and abnormalities in the gut-brain connection play a role.

SIBO, or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, is a condition that has an abnormal number and/or type of bacteria in the small intestine. This overgrowth can lead to various digestive symptoms, including bloating, abdominal pain or discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, excessive gas, and sometimes malabsorption of nutrients. SIBO can occur when the normal mechanisms that keep bacteria in check in the small intestine are disrupted, such as impaired motility or anatomical abnormalities.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by inflammation and ulcers in the inner lining of the colon. This condition typically presents with symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramping, bloody diarrhea, urgency to have a bowel movement, and fatigue. The exact cause of Inflammatory Bowel Disease is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune factors.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. In women with celiac disease, consuming gluten leads to damage in the small intestine, resulting in difficulty absorbing nutrients. Common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, fatigue, and weight loss.

GERD, or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, is a chronic digestive disorder characterized by the backward flow of stomach acid and/or bile into the esophagus. This condition often leads to symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation of stomach contents into the mouth, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, and a sensation of a lump in the throat. GERD can occur when the lower esophageal sphincter, a muscle that normally closes off the opening between the esophagus and stomach, becomes weakened or relaxes inappropriately. Factors such as obesity, hiatal hernia, pregnancy, and certain medications can contribute to GERD symptoms.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune-mediated disorder characterized by inflammation of the esophagus, typically triggered by an allergic reaction to certain foods or environmental allergens. Symptoms of EoE can vary but often include difficulty swallowing, food impaction (food getting stuck in the esophagus), chest pain, heartburn, and reflux-like symptoms.
