Chronic Digestive Issues Assessment
Chronic Digestive and Absorption Issues (Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, etc.) can present themselves in different ways. Depending on the region where your digestive system is affected the most, you may be experiencing symptoms like:
- Reflux
- Bloating
- Belching
- Constipation
- Loose stool.
But regretfully, as you might already know, this can be only the beginning. These complaints can be just the first glimpse into a complex picture of more serious disorders linked with autoimmune and chronic inflammatory responses.
This can happen when unfavorable conditions in your gut remain present for a certain period of time, deteriorating the intestinal wall, with the possibility of causing intestinal permeability (commonly called “leaky gut”), a situation that is closely associated with chronic systemic inflammation and the development of autoimmune diseases which can affect different areas of our bodies, including our joints or glands, like the thyroid.
With this in mind, at Sanoviv we have made available a complete assessment of the digestive system from the medical and nutriological points of view. Our team of experts will use several clinical tools that will help pinpoint your complex digestive issues. Some of these are:
- Thorough medical history and evaluation of all possible antecedents and triggers to the current condition.
- Heidelberg test: This test measures the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
- Endoscopy with biopsy to check for Helicobacter Pylori.
- Colonoscopy.
- Comprehensive lab work, including stool tests such as the CDSA 2.0 which will measure the presence of dysbiosis, inflammation markers, enzyme functions etc.
- Dark Field Blood Microscopy to check for optimal levels of enzyme production and adequate digestion of nutrients.
- Bioenergetic testing
Integration
Not only do we have state of the art diagnostic and assessment tools, we have a fully integrated team of health professionals who will study all of this information and connect the dots in order to determine not only why your biochemical, physiological, structural and psychospiritual individuality has developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Disease, Chronic Ulceritis or other digestive issues, but also how you can regain your health. These diseases, like many others, usually come from multiple imbalances in person’s life. You will work in partnership with your team of health professionals that in turn will work with the whole staff of health professionals to create a program specifically designed for you from all the information obtained.
In your health team:
- Your Medical doctor will facilitate your medical treatment and coordinate all other treatments into your program.
- Your Psychologist will help to determine any emotional factors that might contribute to your digestive issues, as unchecked stress can have a powerful effect on the function and structure of the digestive system.
- Your Dentist will assess and treat any issues that could exacerbate the inflammatory process like heavy metal toxicity from amalgams. We know that heavy metals can play a role in poor digestion and they have been recognized as a cause of dysbiosis. The need for amalgam removal and detoxification of heavy metals will be closely evaluated by your medical team.
- Your Nutritionist will assess your diet and give you information on the critical role food will play in healing your gut.
- Your Chiropractor will assess and treat any structural imbalances that might be contributing to your health issues, such as the adjustment of the lumbar spine that can help restore the balance of the nervous system innervating the entire digestive tract.
- Your Fitness Expert will help you strengthen and exercise your body in a holistic way to support detoxification and healing.
