How Our Approach Differs from NHS Care

Many clients come to us after receiving an IBS diagnosis from the NHS but feeling unsatisfied with their progress. Our functional medicine approach aims to uncover and address root causes  to provide more comprehensive and lasting relief.

 

 

  1. Gut Dysbiosis and Microbiome Imbalance, Candida, Parasites
    The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem of bacteria, yeast, fungi, and other microorganisms that play essential roles in digestion, immunity, and overall health. Disruptions to this balance, known as gut dysbiosis, can lead to the overgrowth of harmful bacteria or yeast, producing gases and other byproducts that irritate the gut lining and contribute to symptoms like bloating, gas, and irregular bowel movements.Our Approach: We focus on rebalancing the gut microbiome through individualized dietary adjustments and targeted supplements to reduce pathogens such as bacteria and yeast and rebuild friendly gut flora with  probiotics and prebiotics.
    When necessary, we use advanced microbiome testing to identify specific imbalances, such as Candida overgrowth or bacterial dysbiosis, allowing for a tailored plan that promotes a healthy microbial environment.
  2. Post-Infectious IBS
    For some individuals, IBS symptoms start after a significant gastrointestinal infection, such as food poisoning or gastroenteritis. This type of IBS, known as post-infectious IBS, may lead to persistent diarrhea or loose stools that linger long after the infection has cleared. The resulting inflammation and bacterial imbalance in the small intestine can sometimes lead to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), causing bloating, gas, and discomfort.Our Approach: We provide SIBO testing to determine if bacterial overgrowth is contributing to your symptoms. Based on the results, we create a targeted plan that may include dietary modifications, s natural antimicrobial protocols to address SIBO and reduce associated symptoms.
  3. Food Intolerances
    Certain foods can aggravate IBS symptoms, especially in individuals with sensitivities to foods and specific carbohydrates, like those restricted on the Low FODMAP diet. Identifying food triggers can be challenging, as reactions vary widely from person to person and may depend on factors like quantity and preparation.Our Approach: Through individualized dietary assessments, we help identify specific food triggers. If appropriate, we guide you through the Low FODMAP diet or other elimination protocols, offering practical support to reduce symptoms while ensuring balanced nutrition. This approach provides a clearer understanding of your unique dietary needs and sensitivities, helping to improve digestive comfort and overall well-being.
  4. Stress
    Stress is a well-recognized factor that can worsen IBS symptoms. The gut and brain are closely connected through the gut-brain axis, meaning that stress can increase gut sensitivity, alter motility, and impact the balance of gut bacteria. Chronic stress can keep the digestive system in a state of inflammation, making symptoms like cramping, pain, and bowel irregularities more challenging to manage.Our Approach: Our functional medicine approach includes supporting you in managing stress as part of your IBS care plan. We incorporate stress-reduction techniques, such as mindfulness practices, relaxation exercises, and lifestyle adjustments, to help you reduce stress’s impact on your digestive health. By addressing both gut health and stress, we support a holistic approach that can improve resilience to symptoms over time.

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a personalized, systems-based approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. It considers the whole person, including their genetics, environment, and lifestyle, to develop a deeper understanding of what’s driving their health issues.

For example, rather than viewing digestive issues, skin problems, or mental health symptoms as separate conditions, functional medicine looks for connections between them, often finding that imbalances in one system, like the gut, can affect other systems. This approach often uses advanced testing, individualized nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and, when needed, supplements to help the body restore balance and function optimally.

 

Our clinic provides comprehensive gut testing, including microbiome analysis, SIBO, parasite, and Candida testing, along with support for food intolerances. We adapt treatment based on your unique needs.

 

We recognize that every individual’s digestive health is different, so we avoid standardized approaches.

Once we’ve completed your in-depth assessment we’ll develop a tailored plan that includes personalized dietary suggestions, testing, supplements, and lifestyle changes to support you in reclaiming both your gut health and your daily well-being.

To make this process smoother, we prioritize ongoing support through monthly progress reviews and educational guidance tailored to your unique plan. Our goal is to be by your side, helping you every step along the way.

 

 

 

What Gut Health tests do you offer?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects millions worldwide and can deeply impact daily life, yet it’s often misunderstood. Many sufferers find that conventional treatments don’t provide lasting relief, which is why we’re dedicated to a personalized approach at our IBS clinic. Here’s how we address the unique factors behind your IBS symptoms:

  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO): Studies indicate that up to 30% of IBS cases may be linked to SIBO, a condition where excessive bacteria in the small intestine can cause symptoms like bloating, gas, and discomfort.  We provide specific testing and targeted treatments to address SIBO, often helping clients achieve relief from stubborn symptoms.
  • Food Intolerances and Sensitivities: Research shows that certain foods can aggravate IBS symptoms, and personalized dietary changes can significantly improve quality of life.  Our in-depth food intolerance testing helps identify specific foods that may be triggering your symptoms, empowering you to make targeted adjustments that can make a real difference.
  • Comprehensive Gut Health Testing: Conditions like parasite infections, Candida overgrowth, and bacterial imbalances are often hidden contributors to IBS. Advanced testing can uncover these issues, allowing us to create a treatment plan that’s tailored to the precise needs of your gut health.
