Acid reflux results in stomach acid flowing backward into the esophagus, which can lead to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This could be due to weakness in the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
Common symptoms of acid reflux include:
bloating, heartburn, chronic cough, throat irritation, regurgitation of food or liquid, sour or bitter taste.
Celiac Disease is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system reacts to gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye). This reaction damages the small intestine, making it difficult for the body to absorb nutrients.
Common symptoms of celiac disease include:
anxiety, abdominal pain, bloating and gas, brain fog, constipation, depression, diarrhea, fatigue, headaches, infertility, iron deficiency anemia, joint pain, nausea or vomiting, skin rash, unexplained weight loss.
Chronic constipation is a condition characterized by infrequent or difficult bowel movements that persist for several weeks or longer. Beyond a lack of fiber or water intake, functional medicine views chronic constipation as a symptom of underlying imbalances affecting gut motility, such as bacterial overgrowth, food sensitivities, hormonal imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies.
Common symptoms of chronic constipation include:
abdominal bloating or discomfort, fewer than three bowel movements per week, hard, dry, or lumpy stools, straining during bowel movements, feeling of incomplete emptying.
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can affect any part of the digestive tract, most commonly the small intestine and the beginning of the colon.
Common symptoms of Crohn's disease include:
Abdominal pain and cramping, diarrhea, fatigue, reduced appetite, weight loss, blood in the stool. Symptoms often come and go in cycles called flare-ups and remission.
Food intolerances or sensitivities occur when your digestive system cannot process or tolerate certain foods leading to gut irritation, digestive symptoms, and systemic inflammation.
Common symptoms of food intolerance/food sensitivity include:
acid reflux, bloating, brain fog, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, gas, headaches, joint pain, nausea, sinus congestion, skin rashes, stomach pain.
Gut dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the gut microbiome, meaning there are too many harmful bacteria and not enough beneficial bacteria in the digestive system. This imbalance can affect digestion, immune function, and overall health, leading to a variety of symptoms.
Common symptoms of gut dysbiosis include:
bloating, brain fog, gas, fatigue, food intolerances, headaches, inflammation, irregular bowel movements, mood changes, skin issues, sugar cravings, unexplained weight gain or loss.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition in which the immune system attacks the digestive tract, causing ongoing inflammation and tissue damage. The two main forms of IBD are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Common symptoms of IBD include:
Abdominal pain or cramping, persistent diarrhea
blood in the stool, fatigue, weight loss, urgent need for bowel movements, loss of appetite. Symptoms often occur in flares followed by periods of remission.
Intestinal Permeability or 'Leaky Gut Syndrome' occurs when the intestinal lining becomes overly permeable, allowing toxins, microbes, and partially digested food to enter the bloodstream and trigger immune responses and inflammation that may affect multiple systems in the body.
Common symptoms of intestinal permeability include:
bloating or gas, constipation, diarrhea, food sensitivities, fatigue, brain fog, headaches, skin problems, joint pain, frequent infections, unex.plained weight gain or loss
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a digestive disorder that affects how the intestines function, causing abdominal discomfort and changes in bowel habits. It is a functional condition, meaning the digestive tract appears normal but does not work properly and does not cause inflammation or permanent damage.
Common symptoms of IBS include:
abdominal pain or cramping, bloating or gas, constipation, diarrhea, mucus in stool, feeling of incomplete bowel movement.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a condition where excessive bacteria grow in the small intestine, interfering with digestion and nutrient absorption.
Common symptoms of SIBO include:
abdominal cramping or discomfort, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, food sensitivities, fatigue.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects the colon and rectum, causing inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the large intestine.
Common symptoms of ulcerative colitis include:
abdominal pain and cramping, persistent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, fatigue, loss of appetite, unintended weight loss.
Symptoms often occur in cycles of flare-ups and remission.

Personalized treatment plans include:
We help restore gut balance and support long-term health.
The program follows five key steps: Remove, Replace, Reinoculate, Repair, and Rebalance to restore optimal digestive health.
The first step of the program is removing factors that harm the digestive tract, such as food sensitivities, harmful bacteria, and parasites. We help identify these triggers through testing, including stool analysis and food sensitivity testing.
Once food intolerances are identified, we focus on improving digestion. As we age, stomach acid levels often decline, affecting digestive function.
During this phase, we replace missing digestive support with supplements such as digestive enzymes, bile salts, and hydrochloric acid to help restore healthy digestion.
Antibiotics, stress, and poor diet can reduce beneficial gut bacteria. This step focuses on restoring healthy bacteria with prebiotics and probiotics to support better digestive function.
After removing trigger foods, restoring digestive support, and replenishing gut bacteria, the next step is to repair the gut. Digestive issues often go unnoticed for years, which can damage the stomach lining and gut health. Provide nutrients that support and heal the intestinal lining.
Final steps to rebalance gut health and prevent digestive disease include eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, consuming probiotic foods like yogurt and sauerkraut, getting at least 8 hours of sleep, exercising for 150 minutes per week, and using stress-relief techniques to support digestive wellness.
Our integrative and functional medicine providers address the root cause of your gut issues, including IBS, IBD, or leaky gut syndrome. We restore digestive health and promote overall wellness.
