Why So Many Patients Suffer from Gastrointestinal Issues?

Dietary Factors
Gastrointestinal disorders are particularly common in the western world. They can, in part, be attributed to the poor diet which millions of people follow. Too heavy in meat, dairy, wheat, starch, sugar, preservatives and additives, and low in fiber.

A poor diet can lead to irritation and inflammation which are precursors to gastrointestinal disorders.

Environmental Factors
Overuse of antibiotics is not recommended by tummy doctors in Tampa because it can allow bad bacteria to grow in the intestine which can lead to dysfunction. Similarly, toxins in foods can play a role. The prevalence of heavy metals in our environment is a factor. Heavy reliance on laxatives can cause the bowel muscles to weaken.

Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases have been shown to directly related to many gut issues. Conditions like Crohn’s disease or any immune system dysfunction can leave the GI tract vulnerable to parasites, toxins, and antigens which can disrupt its normal functioning.

Traditional Doctors Use Invasive Procedures

Most conventional doctors start with invasive and sometimes unnecessary tests and procedures as the very first action. These procedures include

• colonoscopy – inserting a lighted scope into either the patient’s rectum
• flexible sigmoidoscopy
• upper GI endoscopy
• ERCP
• endoscopic ultrasound
• liver biopsies

We Offer a Gentler More Natural Approach

You’ll have a different experience when you come for gastrointestinal treatment in Tampa Bay at LifeWorks.

Your range of symptoms will be evaluated. Not just the obvious ones such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and cramps. Other symptoms such as fatigue, allergies, candida, and so on can also indicate tummy health issues.

Then, one of our gastrointestinal treatment doctors will perform a functional evaluation to assess the functioning of each organ that may be potentially contributing to the symptoms.

Then a nutritional evaluation will be performed. This helps determine if nutritional deficiencies play a part in your condition.

Finding the Cause of Your Gut Issues

We will look for the underlying cause of your gut health issues. We do this with  non-invasive gut tests and diagnostics such as:

A functional stool test may also be ordered to evaluate the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract.

• We will look for any inflammation in the gut.
• We will evaluate enzyme activity in the pancreas.
• We will determine if there is any bacterial overgrowth.
• We will look for any intestinal parasites.
• We will check the immune status in the gut.
• We will evaluate the health of the gut microbiome.
• and more!

Every person’s situation is slightly different and gut issues tend to be multifactorial, setting off a “chain reaction” throughout the body, not only disrupting the gut but impacting other systems and organs of the body.

For this reason it is important that the gastrointestinal treatment doctor handles all factors contributing to the condition to ensure the body begins to heal properly.

Your gastrointestinal treatment plans could include one or more of the following:

• dietary interventions,
• addressing any food allergies,
• killing off any microbial or yeast overgrowth,
• healing the gut lining,
• boosting mitochondrial function,
• calming the immune system,
• detoxifying the body,
• nutritional supplementation
• and other measures needed to restore the gut biome and rebalance the gastrointestinal tract.
