IBS Treatment in Toronto - Naturopathic Care That Works

IBS Relief with a Toronto Naturopath

Are you struggling with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, gas, or irregular bowel movements? At NDcare, we offer comprehensive IBS treatment in Toronto using natural, evidence-informed strategies that address the root causes of your symptoms — including SIBO, food sensitivities, and stress. As a licensed Toronto naturopath, I create personalized plans designed to restore digestive balance and help you feel your best again.

Why Choose a Naturopathic Approach for IBS?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is often called a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning tests like colonoscopy or abdominal ultrasound typically come back normal — yet symptoms persist. Common IBS symptoms include:

• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Gas & bloating
• Stomach pain or cramping

While conventional treatment may involve a low FODMAP diet, psyllium fibre, and stress management, many patients are also prescribed anti-diarrheal medications, anticholinergics, or antidepressants — which often come with limited success or unwanted side effects.

That’s where naturopathic medicine excels.

IBS Treatment with a Toronto Naturopath: A Functional Medicine Approach

Naturopathic IBS treatment focuses on identifying and correcting the functional causes behind your symptoms — including gut microbiome imbalances, inflammation, and food intolerances. Unlike pharmaceutical approaches, naturopathic care offers effective support with fewer side effects and a personalized, whole-body strategy.

Whether you’ve tried conventional options with little success or you’re exploring natural solutions from the start, our Toronto naturopath can help guide you toward relief and improved digestive function.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Treatment - The Naturopathic Medicine Approach

Understanding IBS and Your Gut Health

IBS symptoms in naturopathic medicine are seen as a functional breakdown in your digestive system. At NDcare, your naturopath will do a thorough review of your medical history and may recommend specialized lab testing aimed at assessing and fixing the root cause of your gut dysfunction. Functional breakdowns in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) include the following:

IgG antibody reactions to certain foods that then irritate the digestive tract
Bacterial overgrowths in the small intestine causing hydrogen, methane or hydrogen sulphide gas production and affecting motility (SIBO)
Bacterial or yeast overgrowths in the large intestine
Insufficient beneficial bacteria in the small intestine
Insufficient enzyme secretion from the pancreas to breakdown food in the small intestine
Insufficient stomach acid secretion in the stomach, impairing food breakdown

Some of the specialized lab tests we commonly run in the assessment and treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) may include the following:

Lactulose breath test panels to identify bacterial overgrowths in the small intestine (SIBO Testing and Treatment)
Comprehensive Stool Analysis panels to identify bacteria & yeast overgrowths, assess beneficial bacteria levels, enzyme secretion and macronutrient malabsorption issues.
IgG Food Sensitivity Testing to identify antibody reactions to different foods

Many people diagnosed with IBS actually have SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), which presents with similar symptoms like bloating, gas, and irregular bowel movements. Learn more about SIBO testing and treatment.
