Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine said, “all disease starts in the gut.” We now have a greater understanding of how much our health is affected by our diet and the role our gut plays in immunity, inflammation and overall health. Leaky gut syndrome is a theory that describes your intestinal tract lining as a permeable membrane. When the gut lining is damaged, your body can absorb larger protein molecules from your food as well as toxins that can cause inflammation in intestines and other parts of your body. Leaky gut syndrome is considered to be an underlying cause of gastrointestinal disease. Leaky gut syndrome has been associated with inflammatory bowel disease, Celiac disease, diabetes, arthritis, chronic fatigue, asthma, fibromyalgia, and other autoimmune diseases.
SIBO and Microbiome Support
Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth or (SIBO) is a digestive condition where bacteria overgrows in the small intestine causing gas and bloating, constipation or diarrhea, abdominal pain, malabsorption and other digestive complaints. Approximately 70% of Irritable Bowel Syndrome can be attributed to SIBO. Over time, the bacteria can cause damage to the lining of the intestine creating leaky gut syndrome, food sensitivities and chronic inflammation. The human gut microbiome has emerged as a crucial factor in the underlying cause of digestive health conditions.
Comprehensive Stool Analysis and SIBO Testing
Naturopathic doctors are experts in treating SIBO, leaky gut syndrome, dysbiosis, Celiac disease, food sensitivities, GERD/reflux, IBS and many other functional digestive problems. We utilize comprehensive digestive stool analysis testing to detect low digestive enzyme function, intestinal inflammation, levels of both good and bad bacteria, candida, parasites and other digestive testing markers. We also utilize a 3-hour lactulose breath test to assess hydrogen, methane and hydrogen sulfide SIBO. Naturopathic medicine has a variety of tools to identify your digestive health problem and heal and restore your gut function.
