Nutrition Consultation for Gastrointestinal Health

The health of your gut… or gastrointestinal tract, has a lot to do with your genetics, your health and medication history, i.e. amount of antibiotics prescribes as a child, your present diet, and daily stress levels. Many gastrointestinal abnormalities such as Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Celiac Disease, Crohn’s Disease, GERD, Gastritis, SIBO, pancreatic insufficiency or Colon Cancer, are treated both nutritionally and medically. If you suffer from any of the diseases above or experience the following symptoms listed below, a change of diet, comprehensive stool testing and targeted nutritional supplementation program may be just the thing you need.

Most physicians never conduct a comprehensive stool test that can give us direction as to whether your microbiome needs attention and is compromised by dysbiosis, bacterial, fungal, viral, parasitic or h-pylori infections, low immune function, gut inflammation, or insufficiency of pancreatic enzyme secretions.

Gastrointestinal Symptoms with a Nutritional Correlation

With specific gastointestinal focused nutrition counseling, you may be able to resolve and or drastically improve your gut discomfort or disease symptoms and experience more normal gastrointestinal health. We have treated and improved the gut health in many of our patients, whether they had chronic diarrhea or stubborn constipation and bloating. Gastrointestinal conditions can be of a new onset or may have been with you for many years. The longer you have had symptoms or a GI disease diagnosis like Colitis, Crohn’s, Celiac, or SIBO, it may take longer to improve your symptoms. It takes a step by step nutrition approach with specific functional testing to help improve your symptoms. It is possible that with your medical care from your gastrointestinal physician, nutrition was not discussed in depth. I have had patients tell me that their physician said food had nothing to do with their symptoms or disease and they can eat whatever they want.

In all of my years of practice, I do not find that to be true, and infact, if I don’t tell patients how to start modifying their diet, it is because by the time they get to me, they have already done the heavy lifting finding tremendous benefit from making diet changes they learned from “Dr Google”. So why see a registered dietitian for your GI woes? Dietitians are trained and educated to sort out good evidenced based nutrition protocols from half baked ones sort to speak, and insure you are not creating a malnourished body if you stay on a restricted program for too long. Diets like a low FODMAP diet for instance is not designed to stay on it for more then three to six weeks due to the potential for insufficient vitamins, minerals, fiber, or total calories. Same with a Paleo type diet, or a Raw Vegan diet. Many people tell me they are doing a keto diet or specific carbohydrate diet, or Autoimmune Diet Protocol, only to find out they have limited their diet to five to ten foods max. So, having a nutrition consultation with an experienced dietitian in gastrointestinal issues and having functional stool testing and food sensitivity testing can be very helpful to your care.

You may be a candidate to nutrition counseling if you suffer from the following symptoms:

Bloating
Belching
Bad Breath
Indigestion
Chronic cracking at the corners of the mouth
Recurrent cancer sores in the mouth
Chronic gas after eating
Cramping, Abdominal painHemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids
Pre, During, or Post Cancer Treatment Dietary Management

We can help you discover if there is a nutritional link to your condition.
