Our social and cultural focus on food, food quality, and diet choices is greater than ever, and so much of this can be attributed to the effects of what and how we eat on our digestive systems. Common gastrointestinal disorders include frequent heartburn/GERD, Irritable Bowel Disorder/Syndrome (IBD/S), Crohn's Disease, chronic constipation, weight gain, and bloating.
Many of us are on countless antacids and other prescriptions solely to manage the symptoms of stomach concerns, without a full knowledge of food sensitivities and allergies that may contribute to chronic gastrointestinal disturbance. Taking a comprehensive account of a person's lifestyle, genetics, and other personalized factors to comprise a customized health profile is one of the attributes of Functional and Energy Medicine to digestive wellness.
