Constipation & Diarrhea
Naturopath Treatment for Constipation & Diarrhea
Whether an individual is suffering from constipation or urgent, looser stools, health consequences can arise.
Constipation can be caused by numerous mechanisms. Slow gut motility or transit time can be a result of genetics, stress due to cortisol’s powerful impact on the gut, a range of digestive conditions such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease, diverticulitis, dietary choices, thyroid issues, an overgrowth of certain unfavourable bacteria (SIBO), Colonic methane bacterial overgrowth, even endometriosis on the bowel for some women.
Whatever the cause, symptoms can include bloating, pain, reflux, heartburn not to mention fatigue and low mood. It also means that you are reabsorbing things that your body really wants in the toilet bowel!
A holistic approach to Constipation & Diarrhea
Looser, urgent stools can also be the result of many of the above causes mentioned above and may also include lactose intolerance, parasites, food intolerances, extensive antibiotic use & more. It means that important nutrients that should be absorbed from your small intestine into your blood may not be & this causes all sorts of issues.
For this reason, a focus on daily, easy to pass and fully formed stools is an important goal for every client. Quality of life, a healthy body, mood and energy depend on it.
I work with you in a thorough manner to understand what is happening and my deep dive assessment uncovers the history of your symptoms and potential triggers which are unique for each person. Some more advanced testing may be recommended and assessment of any tests you may have had prior are also part of the process.
