IBS: Symptoms, Food Triggers & Practical Nutrition Support
Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, involves recurring abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits. Symptoms may include constipation, diarrhea or both. IBS is a disorder of gut–brain interaction; it is not the same as inflammatory bowel disease. A diagnosis helps distinguish IBS from other causes of digestive symptoms.
SIBO: Symptoms, Breath Tests & Treatment Questions
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO, means an abnormal increase or imbalance of bacteria in the small intestine. It can cause digestive symptoms and affect nutrient absorption. Bloating alone is not a diagnosis. Assessment considers symptoms, risk factors and appropriate testing.
Parasites & Candida: Symptoms, Testing & Treatment
Parasitic infections and Candida infections are different problems. A parasite such as Giardia can cause intestinal illness. Candida is a yeast that may cause infection at particular body sites. Bloating, fatigue or acne alone cannot identify either infection, and a general “cleanse” is not a substitute for diagnosis.
