Digestive problems? How Naturopathic Medicine Can Help You!

Do you suffer from bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn or general digestive discomfort?


If you do, then your digestive system is not functioning optimally which means that you may be deficient in vitamins, minerals and/or protein, your digestive tract may be toxic and your immune system may be compromised. Focusing on the root cause from a naturopathic standpoint there are many potential reasons for these symptoms:


  • Food allergies/sensitivities
  • Lack of good bacteria within the gut lining
  • Stress
  • Lack of digestive enzymes
  • Lack of stomach acid
  • Yeast/bacterial overgrowth

Our solutions:

  • Simple diet changes such as cutting down on your dairy intake

  • Nutritional supplements like good quality digestive support such as Intenzyme or Betaine Plus HP by Biotics Research

  • Herbs like Allimax and Oreganum Plus to cleanse the digestive tract

  • Acupuncture to balance the organs of digestion

  • Lab testing such as food sensitivity testing or digestive stool analyses can also provide valuable information about the environment in the digestive tract and food allergies. On testing, 99.9 % of our patients have food allergies that they were unaware of and that were adversely affecting their health.
