Using Functional Medicine to Help IBS
IBS affects 12–20% of Canadians, causing abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and disrupted lives—yet standard tests often miss it. As a functional medicine practitioner in Alberta, I uncover root causes like diet (high FODMAPs), gut-brain stress, microbiome imbalance, and food triggers through personalized assessments.
Unlike symptom-only treatments, functional medicine for IBS delivers tailored low FODMAP diets, stress relief, probiotics, fiber, and botanicals to reduce flares and restore gut function. Serving Alberta residents with 60-min in-person/virtual consults + free 15-min discovery calls.
