Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

IBS affects up to 15 percent of adults. A functional approach investigates microbiome imbalances, SIBO, food triggers, and the gut-brain axis to find actionable root causes.

Symptoms

Abdominal pain, bloating, alternating diarrhea and constipation, urgency, and excessive gas that often worsens with stress.

Causes and risk

Dysbiosis, SIBO, food sensitivities, impaired motility, chronic stress, and prior gut infections.

How it is evaluated

Comprehensive stool analysis, SIBO breath testing, food sensitivity panels, and a detailed diet-symptom timeline.

Treatment

Targeted antimicrobials or probiotics, elimination diet, gut-healing nutrients like L-glutamine, stress management, and motility support.

Questions

Yes. SIBO is found in a significant percentage of IBS patients and can be identified with a breath test.
