Digestive Health
At Willow London Naturopathic & IV Clinic, we understand the importance of digestive health in your overall well-being. Digestive issues can cause discomfort, affect nutrient absorption, and impact your daily life. Our Naturopathic Doctors are committed to identifying the root causes of your digestive problems, providing personalized treatment plans to help you achieve optimal digestive health and feel your best.
Common Digestive Conditions We Treat
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
IBS is a chronic condition that affects the large intestine, causing symptoms like cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhea or constipation. Our approach includes identifying food triggers, stress management, and personalized dietary recommendations.
Acid Reflux (GERD)
GERD is characterized by the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus, causing heartburn and discomfort. Our naturopathic approach includes dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, and natural therapies to manage GERD symptoms.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
IBD, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, involves chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. We provide holistic support, including anti-inflammatory diets, stress management, and natural supplements, to help manage IBD symptoms.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
SIBO occurs when there is an abnormal increase in the number of bacteria in the small intestine, leading to symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. We offer specialized testing and treatments, including herbal antimicrobials and dietary changes, to manage SIBO effectively.
Food Sensitivities and Intolerances
Food sensitivities can cause various digestive issues, including bloating, gas, and diarrhea. We conduct comprehensive testing to identify food sensitivities and create tailored elimination diets to reduce symptoms and improve gut health.
Root Causes of Digestive Issues
Our naturopathic doctors focus on uncovering the underlying causes of digestive problems, such as:
Gut Dysbiosis: An imbalance of gut bacteria can lead to various digestive issues.
Leaky Gut Syndrome: Increased intestinal permeability can cause inflammation and digestive discomfort.
Stress: Chronic stress can negatively impact gut health.
Nutrient Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients can impair digestive function.
Poor Diet: High intake of processed foods and low fiber can contribute to digestive problems.
