What Is Digestive & Gut Health Treatment?
Digestive and gut health treatment involves a combination of nutritional adjustments, supplements, movement, and potential medications to improve gut function and overall well-being. Since every person’s gut health is unique, each treatment plan is customized based on individual needs.
For example, probiotic-rich foods like yogurt can help replenish good bacteria in the gut, but if you have a dairy intolerance, alternative fermented foods like kimchi, kombucha, or sauerkraut may be recommended. Digestive enzymes can also support gut function by helping the body break down food more efficiently, making digestion smoother and more comfortable.
During your consultation, we will assess your gut health, discuss symptoms, and explore a variety of treatment options designed to address your concerns.

What are the signs of poor gut health?

What foods should I eat for a healthy gut?
Foods to include for gut health can be fruits like bananas, apples, and kiwi that are packed with fiber and vitamins. Green leafy vegetables like kale and spinach are also good sources of vitamins and promote colon health by adding in good bacteria. We also recommend fermented foods such as kimchi, kombucha, and sauerkraut that are full of probiotics.
How do I know if I have food sensitivities affecting my digestion?
It’s important to pay attention to how your body reacts after eating a meal. If you notice bloating or stomach pains after eating specific foods, it can be an indicator of intolerance. Some common foods that cause digestive upset are dairy, gluten, and caffeine. Part of the digestive and gut health treatment includes lab work that can determine if you have food sensitivities that are causing digestive problems.
What tests can help determine my gut health status?
Methods vary based on your symptoms, but common tests for gut health include blood work and stool samples. Blood work can explore concerns like potential inflammation in the body. Stool samples will check for gut diversity, micronutrients, and pathogens present in the stool. Both testing methods can provide a clear picture for your provider to customize a care plan for you.
