IBS Naturopath

What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?

Around one in every five Australians will suffer the uncomfortable pains and symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS. IBS is  a condition that affects the functioning of the bowel causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, constipation or diarrhoea. IBS can be embarrassing and distressing, often causing the sufferer to become more reclusive as they try to manage their lives around their digestive issues. This is no way to live your life!

IBS does not cause permanent damage or lead to the development of more serious conditions such as bowel cancer or colitis – but it still has a significant impact on your energy levels, immune system and quality of life. If you recognise some of the symptoms listed below, and live on Brisbane’s southside, why not visit our Capalaba based clinic and see a naturopath for IBS relief.

At Capalaba Natural Health, our naturopath and other health practitioners are experts in gut and digestive health, providing natural and organic solutions to ease your pain. Once we identify the trigger of your symptoms, we can help you implement a healthy eating plan and provide prescriptions or natural medicines. After just a few days, you should already start to notice your energy levels increase and a better sense of well-being. With better gut health and adequate nutrition, your body will flourish and you can enjoy a noticeable improvement in your quality of life.

IBS is a Syndrome, Not Disease

One thing to keep in mind when you’re diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome is that it is just that, a syndrome, not a disease. Essentially it is a label for a ‘Collection of Symptoms’. This is great news, as it means is that we can identify the causes of your symptoms and once treated, they can be corrected.

At Capalaba Natural Health we believe that most of the symptoms associated with IBS are actually food intolerance symptoms. Therefore we begin by trying to identify any food intolerances you may have that are irritating your digestive tract. We provide an in-house food intolerance tests which checks for the 59 main foods that people are intolerant to, and that are the most common drivers of IBS symptoms. This is a simple test that offers same-day results.

If a food intolerance is identified, we will provide you with solutions and alternatives to the problematic foods that will assist in the relief of your symptoms.

In addition to food intolerance, stress or anxiety is a big driver of IBS. Should stress or anxiety prove to be a high driver in your condition, there are many naturopathic approaches to calming the nervous system, nourishing your adrenals and reducing anxiety, stress and depression. We also have a Kinesiologist who can help with identifying your underlying stressors and help balance them for you.

Parasites, an overgrowth of bad bacteria, or a lack of good bacteria can also contribute to IBS symptoms – all of which our IBS naturopath can help you with.

IBS Symptoms

The primary symptoms associated with IBS are abdominal pain, cramping or discomfort that is relieved by passing wind along with frequent diarrhoea or constipation. You may also experience urgency to  pass a bowel movement, or a feeling of what is referred to as ‘incomplete evacuation’ (meaning you have not completely emptied your bowels).

People with Irritable Bowel Syndrome may also experience symptoms relating to chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, sinus, eczema, poor memory, joint pain and reduced immunity leading to more colds or sickness than normal. Chronic pain and inflammation is very debilitating and all too often can lead to depression and anxiety.

As a natural health provider based on Brisbane’s southside at Capalaba, we have a strong focus on not only reducing your symptoms quickly and effectively, but also on addressing the underlying cause of your condition so that you can lead a full, healthy life free of the symptoms of IBS.
