Leaky Gut

A leaky gut is a serious problem. It develops when the lining of your intestines becomes compromised and begins to leak toxins into your abdomen. This can be a symptom of other gastrointestinal issues or a problem in and of itself. A natural doctor or chiropractor who is proficient in functional medicine can work to uncover the cause of your digestive problems. When you have a leaky gut, it is important to find the cause and prevent toxins from spreading through your system.

What Are the Symptoms Associated with a Leaky Gut?

Gas, bloating, diarrhea, and a lack of energy are common signs of a leaky gut. A leaky gut can also cause abdominal pain that ranges from mild to severe. As your intestines become more inflamed, your pain may increase. Leaky gut syndrome is sometimes associated with other autoimmune or chronic health conditions like arthritis, diabetes, or irritable bowel syndrome. It may be difficult to differentiate between the two health conditions. Work with your doctor to get a more accurate idea of what is going on in your digestive system.

How Can Functional Medicine Help?

Function medicine always looks for the fundamental, root cause of your symptoms. Our chiropractor will determine what treatment options will work best to restore proper function to your digestive tract. Because functional medicine works to uncover the cause, any symptoms you are experiencing will begin to fade as healing takes place. If your leaky gut is caused by another health problem, your doctor will address both to ensure the cause is also eliminated.

Functional Medicine and Chiropractic Care

Functional medicine and chiropractic care work together to address all aspects of a health issue. While functional medicine takes care of how the body functions, chiropractic care, especially chiropractic adjustments, ensures the body remains in balance so that all the structures and systems are free of any obstructions or obstacles that may be slowing down the healing process. By making use of both at the same time, your doctor will be able to provide you with a treatment plan that is safe and effective.
