For more complex IBS & Digestion cases our clinic looks at:

Digestive ability
We consider insufficient stomach acid, liver or pancreatic function and if your digestion would benefit from particular enzyme or acid preparations.
Inflammatory parameters
We look for evidence of inflammation (lysozyme, calprotectin, lactoferrin, white blood cells etc) - if there is suspicion of inflammatory bowel disease or to track IBD in our patients.
SIBO
Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth - is a common cause of IBS and IBS type symptoms.
Our Naturopaths have a lot of experience assessing and treating SIBO as a cause of IBS, Gas, Bloating, Diarrhea and Constipation.
SIBO is usually diagnosed via breath test looking for substantial production of hydrogen or methane gas (hydrogenic or methagenic SIBO).
Hydrogen sulfide SIBO "H2S" can be diagnosed through clinical history or stool culture.
Treating SIBO can be done herbally or with antibiotics.
Our Naturopaths have a preference for herbal treatments (berberine, oregano or allicin) as the SIBO relapse rate can be lower with herbal treatments.
If needed, your TruMed Naturopath will refer you for antibiotic treatments.
SIBO treatment is usually combined with a biofilm agent and prokinetic agent for better kills and reducing relapse risk respectively.

IV Therapy & Digestive Concerns
At our Naturopathic clinic we've used IV Therapy to improve energy, mood, cognitive function and immunity in some patients with digestive issues.
IBS, IBD (Crohn's & Colitis), Celiac disease and other conditions where absorption has been compromised can respond well to IV Therapy.
IV Therapy allows our Naturopathic doctors to bypass the digestive tract.
Naturally, digestive concerns associated with oral intake of substances is avoided with IV Therapy.
Also, we are able to frequently use much higher doses intravenously than what is used orally.
