II – Digestive Health

To learn what services are included in each Digestive Health package, please click on the underlined name of the package, which is linked to the full description.

1. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Package

The Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Package is designed for individuals who have had celiac disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) ruled out and who have been told by their doctor that they have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) — with or without functional dyspepsia. Since the symptoms and causes of IBS vary between individuals, this package is designed to help determine which foods or food components are contributing to specific symptoms. There is also a Functional Dyspepsia add-on for those diagnosed with both.

Unlike a Low FODMAP Diet, this package enables people to only eliminate foods or food components that result in symptoms.

2. Low FODMAP Diet Package

The Low FODMAP Diet Package is designed for individuals who have been told by their doctor that they have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and to follow a Low-FODMAP Diet. A low-FODMAP diet is implemented in a systematic way so that individuals are able to determine which FODMAP foods contribute to their symptoms and which do not.

3. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Package

The Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Package is designed for those newly diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) or Crohn’s Disease and focuses on reducing symptoms as quickly as possible and reintroducing foods in a way that minimizes the recurrence of symptoms.

4. Celiac Disease Management Package

The Celiac Disease Management Package offers comprehensive education for individuals newly diagnosed with celiac disease (IgA-mediated gluten intolerance) or those previously diagnosed with celiac disease who continue to experience symptoms or have been unable to achieve a normal IgA tTG test result. These teachings will focus on how to eat to avoid accidental contact with gluten or gluten-containing products, including how to share a kitchen with those who are not celiac and how to eat out at friends’ houses or restaurants.

5. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) Package

The Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) Package provides three stages of dietary treatment: (1) the first phase of dietary treatment occurs 4-6 weeks before starting to take the antimicrobials/antibiotics prescribed by a medical doctor or naturopath, (2) the second phase of dietary treatment occurs during the 4 weeks of taking antimicrobials and (3) the third phase is a gradual liberalization of the dietary recommendations, while avoiding specific types of foods to reduce the recurrence of SIBO.
