• Irritable Bowel Syndrome - and Pharmaceutical Expediency

  Encouraging physicians to make a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome and prescribe medication for it is big business. I'm not saying that medication for IBS is never a good idea or never effective, but I am saying that it is often an overly expedient solution that doesn’t usually lead to lasting relief for the simple reason that IBS consists of multiple different conditions. Since there is no one unifying diagnosis of "IBS" there can't be one unifying pharmaceutical solution. We'd love to hear from you - send us a text!Thank you for being a part of our community!

• Crummy Diet Syndrome: A Delicate Diagnosis

  This week's episode is another example of why you should reject a blanket diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome, and ask your doctor to roll their sleeves up and help you uncover the root cause of your symptoms. The solution for everyone who's diagnosed with IBS is not always a diet change. But it should never just be "your bowel is irritable and here’s a drug".We'd love to hear from you - send us a text!Thank you for being a part of our community!

• Aerophagia: Could Air Swallowing be the Cause of Your Bloating?

  In this episode we dive into the causes and treatment for aerophagia - one of the most unrecognized factors behind burping and bloating. Aerophagia is a condition where people swallow large amounts of air unintentionally and without realizing it. It’s often misdiagnosed as acid reflux, ulcers, gallstones, or SIBO – small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. I frequently see patients who have been put on acid blockers or treated for ulcers that they don't have, or sometimes even had their gallbladder removed, and they're still not better. And that's because their aerophagia has not been diagnosed. We'd love to hear from you - send us a text!Thank you for being a part of our community!
