Healing the Gut is Imperative
A healthy gut does not have inflammation or sustain inflammation from eating limited quantities of certain foods.
A leaky gut is a gut that is literally leaking food particles into the blood stream secondary to inflammation, or an imbalance in bacteria. Certain colonies of gut bacteria help to protect agants other colonies of bacteria, then when in abundance, secrete toxins called lipopolysaccharides. These lipopolysaccharides break down the junctions holding the cells together. Food particles can then leak out through these junctions and get into the blood stream. Once in the blood stream, the immune system recognizes these food particles as foreign and sets up an auto-immune response.
Starting Your Gut Healing Process
- We will utilize blood testing to screen for gut candida, and upper and lower gut testing to determine the root cause of your gastrointestinal disturbance.
- In addition to personalized data driven interventions, we will provide nutritional guidance on which foods cause gut disruption, inflammation, and bacterial/candida driven gut imbalances.
- Major areas of focus are elimination of inflammatory foods, addressing digestive enzyme deficiencies, innoculation with pre/pro-biotics, minimizing tissue inflammation in the lower/upper gut, and identifying bacterial/viral/parasitic/fungal infection.
- Start by scheduling up an initial consultation with Dr.Page.
