Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Natural Medicine That Works

Dr. Brody’s Natural Approach to Digestion.
Control and Fix Your Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Doctor Shows Information: Gastrointestinal MicrobiomeIrritable Bowel Syndrome, otherwise known as IBS, is a devastating disease that can cause many people discomfort.  Symptoms might include cycles of diarrhea and constipation, gas, bloating, and/or anxiety.  Many people suffer from these symptoms for years without ever getting professional help, trying instead over the counter and home remedies, without seeing any results.

With my program, I have been able to get people’s’ Irritable Bowel Syndrome under control.  I am able to stop symptoms by fixing the underlying cause. One of the first things emphasized is making sure you are eating the right foods and avoiding the right foods. I tailor meal plans that are geared toward you, the individual. I also have testing right in office to check for dysbiosis (the presence of bad bacteria) that may be hanging out in your digestive system. This includes a screening Hydrogen Breath Test. I also have my clinic enrolled in a microbiome study and I am able to provide (to those that qualify) free microbiome test kits. With this data we can discover, treat, and track bacteria that cause Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Tips and Tricks

  1. Not all probiotics are equal and there is no one size fits all approach. Your probiotic should be personalized to you and your needs. It is no good throwing stuff at a wall and seeing what sticks.
  2. Don’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results. There are many great supplements for IBS, but they do not all work the same for everyone.
  3. Do not forget about digestive hygiene. Take your time and eat slow.
  4. Quick fixes such as digestive enzymes help at the moment, but are not a long-term solution. Address the underlying cause for long lasting, effective results.
