IBS is a functional diagnosis. The gut looks structurally normal but does not function normally. The underlying drivers vary significantly between patients. Some have SIBO, some have post-infectious gut disruption, some have food reactivity and some have stress-driven gut-brain dysregulation. Our Naturopaths investigate the likely driver for your specific IBS presentation before recommending any natural treatment.
SIBO occurs when bacteria from the large intestine colonise the small intestine, producing gas through fermentation of carbohydrates. Symptoms include bloating that worsens after eating, flatulence, abdominal discomfort and altered bowel habits. Our Naturopaths use herbal medicine with antimicrobial activity to address SIBO alongside gut motility support and lining repair.
Food intolerances involve a delayed immune response to specific foods. Unlike food allergies which are immediate, food intolerance symptoms appear hours after eating. IgG food intolerance testing identifies your personal reactive foods so that a structured elimination and reintroduction protocol can be designed. Our Naturopaths guide this process carefully so you understand what your gut can and cannot tolerate, without unnecessary long-term restriction.
Increased intestinal permeability allows undigested food particles and bacterial components to enter the bloodstream, triggering systemic inflammation and food reactivity. Our Naturopaths prescribe gut lining repair nutrients including zinc carnosine, glutamine and specific herbal demulcents as part of a structured repair protocol.
Where testing will change the treatment direction, our Naturopaths can order IgG food intolerance panels, comprehensive stool analysis and SIBO breath testing. For the full range of tests available, visit our functional testing and functional medicine page.
