How Naturopathy Can Help With Gastrointestinal Disorders

The digestive system is one of, or maybe the most important system of the human body, having the fundamental job of properly digesting and absorbing every nutrient that comes with food, and then eliminating the waste products.

Therefore, it is logical to believe that, if something goes wrong with gastrointestinal functionality, optimal health can be hard or even impossible to achieve. When something goes wrong during digestion, other systems, such as the immune, hormonal, and nervous system can be affected.

To treat this disorder, a more holistic and integrated approach is needed to find not only the solution to the digestive disorder, but also to understand all the factors involved in its development. With this in mind, naturopathy is just what you need.

Being taught and trained in understanding and relating digestive wellness and general well being, naturopathic doctors are qualified in treating numerous gastrointestinal disorders, including:
• Constipation.
• Diarrhea.
• Indigestion, gas, bloating.
• Acid reflux, heartburn, GERD.
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
• Inflammatory bowel disease.
• Celiac disease.
• Food allergies.
• Gut microflora imbalance.
• Diverticulosis, diverticulitis.
• Pancreatic disease.
• Hepatic disorders.
• Gall bladder disorders.

By identifying dietary triggers, eliminating underlying and related conditions, supporting the microbiota population, reducing inflammation, and optimizing bowel movement regularity, naturopathy achieves optimal digestive health.

In the end, what is needed is a holistic and individualized approach capable of not only returning proper health to your gastrointestinal tract, but also considering your body and mind as a whole.
