In my practice, I treat many different types of patients with a variety of issues. But many conditions come up regularly.
For example, I have a major focus on women’s health, where I see many patients for issues including hormone balancing, treating burn out, adrenal fatigue, fertility issues, IBS, and thyroid issues.
This is the first in a series of occasional posts where I’ll share some common conditions I treat.
SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) is a condition where too much bacteria grows in the small intestine, leading to digestive concerns like bloating, diarrhea, and nutrient malabsorption. Sometimes this can be caused by surgery disease. Other symptoms can include weight loss and abdominal pain.
If you have symptoms of SIBO, I can help with a test to check for this bacterial overgrowth. The test involves testing the amount of hydrogen or methane that you breathe out after drinking a sugar water mixture, which may indicate the overgrowth. Blood tests are also possible to identify vitamin deficiency. Treatments for the condition can include antibiotics and nutritional supplements.
If you recognize some of these symptoms and would like to investigate them, don’t hesitate to reach out and make an appointment. You may also have a different condition that I can also help with, and it all starts with a discovery call.
