Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal disorder. Around 1 in 5 Australians experience the unpleasant symptoms but instead of popping a pill to treat it, you can opt for a natural, side-effect-free Brisbane treatment that will also stop the problem from recurring in future.
You may be suffering from IBS if you:
- Have abdominal pain and cramping
- Alternating diarrhoea and constipation
- A sensation that the bowels are not fully emptied;
- And have abdominal bloating
How Can Naturopathy Help You?
Like many digestive disorders, Irritable Bowel Syndrome responds very well to naturopathy and dietary intervention. Don’t let IBS control your life, come in and see our qualified practitioners and get the answers you’ve been looking for.
Crohn’s Disease or Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) can be managed in a number of ways using natural remedies. Treatment will differ based on whether it is to help with an acute flare or manage the condition long term and advice is always given that is unique to the individual person and their health needs. Generally, addressing vitamin and mineral deficiencies and healing the gut with combination remedies is a good start, alongside prescribed probiotic therapy (these probiotics are only available to qualified practitioners to dispense as a prescription and are of the highest quality) You would expect to experience a noticeable difference and IBD is well worth treating to improve your wellbeing!
1. Get the Proper Diagnosis
It’s important to speak to a professional if you think you might be living with IBS so that you can rule out other complaints such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease and parasitic infection. Irritable Bowel Syndrome orIBS can sometimes cover up underlying lactose or food intolerance.
Our practitioners will sit down with you for up to an hour and a half during your first consultation, discussing current symptoms, previous history, previous treatment, diet and lifestyle, using a wide range of diagnostic tools.
2. Understand Your Condition
We will explain the results of any tests that are done and help you understand what they mean for you. We will also make sure you fully understand what IBS is and how it is affecting your body.
Stress is a major trigger for IBS attacks and our practitioners can provide you with advice on how you can reduce the sources of stress in your life to help alleviate your IBS symptoms.
3. A Tailored Plan Just For You
Our practitioners will develop a treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns. Diet and exercise are two key factors in alleviating the symptoms of IBS and we can create a plan that helps you make simple yet effective changes to improve your health and well being.
You will be provided with Practitioner Approved Supplements such as Probiotics or Customised Herbs or Homeopathics to help you improve your gut and digestive health. Our practitioner will also recommend the right dietary and lifestyle changes to tackle the root cause of your IBS.
We take every aspect of your health into consideration because we treat the person – not just an aspect.
