How Do We Treat Digestive Problems?
Your treatment will depend on your diagnosis, symptoms, and lifestyle. Common approaches include:
Medication Management
Prescription medications for acid reduction, inflammation control, motility regulation, or symptom relief.
Dietary Counseling
Tailored recommendations to avoid trigger foods, identify food intolerances, and improve overall digestive health (such as low-FODMAP diets for IBS).
Lifestyle Adjustments
Guidance on stress management, physical activity, hydration, sleep hygiene, and other factors influencing digestive health.
Specialist Referrals
We collaborate closely with GI specialists if advanced diagnostics (colonoscopy, endoscopy) or treatments (such as biologics for IBD) are required.
