Are you suffering from gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn or have you been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis? Gastrointestinal disorders are the most common reasons why people visit their doctors, however, most patients never get the answers they need to permanently fix their problems.

This makes the novel treatments offered at Best Naturopathic Medicine more crucial than ever before.

When it comes to gastrointestinal health, discovering the root cause is one of the most critical aspects of your care. There are many known underlying reasons why gastrointestinal problems begin. Naturopathic Doctors are experts at looking beyond the standardized tests, using an outside the box approach to discover why you are sick.

Some of the most important factors that the Board Certified Naturopathic Doctors at Best Naturopathic Doctors investigate are diet and lifestyle imbalance, environmental toxin exposure, viral infections, food sensitivities, microbiome imbalance, and leaky gut. 

Most gastrointestinal problems are undertreated and misdiagnosed for years, causing confusion and frustration. This is because most treatment options, like anti-inflammatory  medications, antibiotics and even antidepressants don’t address the root cause, and some treatments can even worsen the problem.

If you or your loved one has a newly diagnosed gastrointestinal condition or have been battling one for years, now is the time to take a patient-centered, holistic, and integrative approach.
