For many people who’ve grown up with consistent GI issues, there’s often embarrassment, worry, and even regret associated with their condition. You may feel like you’ve gone through life watching from the sidelines, fearful of a flare up or racked with pain. At Empower Integrative Health, we’ll help you get to the bottom of your recurrent issues, restore healthy GI function, and improve your quality of life.
What does it mean to have gastrointestinal issues?
The term gastrointestinal (GI) is a blanket term that includes the organs that play a part in food digestion. The GI or digestive tract includes your mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), rectum, and anus, and can exhibit problems due to:
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
Lower intestinal infection
IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS)
General gut health
People with GI issues sometimes dismiss their symptoms as simply being a reaction to “something they ate” or emotions. When they do consult their doctor, they’re often told it’s all in their head with antidepressants being a common prescription, even when symptoms are often indicative of a chronic condition that can be helped. You don’t have to live with the discomfort, anxiety, inconvenience, and poor quality of life that comes from symptoms like:
Burping
Indigestion
Bloating
Cramping
Constipation or diarrhea
The impact on daily lives
