  • Herbal antimicrobials for SIBO, dysbiosis, and gut repair
  • Digestive enzymes and probiotics

  • Frequently Asked Questions About Digestive Health and Naturopathic Treatment
  • OTHER CONDITIONS TREATED

Q: What digestive issues do you treat?

At NDcare, we treat a wide range of digestive concerns including IBS, SIBO, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux, food sensitivities, and gut flora imbalances. We also assess for deeper root causes like enzyme deficiencies and microbiome dysfunction.

Q: How does a naturopath diagnose digestive problems?

We start with a comprehensive intake and review of your symptoms, diet, and health history. When appropriate, we use specialized lab tests such as SIBO breath tests, stool microbiome analysis, food sensitivity testing, and digestive enzyme assessment to uncover the root cause of your symptoms.

Q: Can naturopathic medicine help if I’ve already seen a GI specialist?

Yes. Many of our patients come to us after conventional testing has ruled out structural issues but symptoms persist. Naturopathic care focuses on functional digestion — helping your gut work better even when imaging and scopes are normal.

Q: Do you offer testing for SIBO or food sensitivities?

Yes. We commonly run SIBO lactulose breath tests and IgG food sensitivity panels as part of our assessment. These tests help us identify whether bacterial overgrowth or food reactions may be contributing to your symptoms.

Q: What treatments are used for digestive health?

Your treatment plan may include customized nutrition changes, herbal antimicrobials, probiotics and prebiotics, digestive enzymes, and gut-healing nutrients. We also address stress and nervous system function, which often affect digestion.
