Digestive disorders are common in American society. They include reflux, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease – Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. To suppress these conditions, conventional medicine often prescribes medications from acid inhibitors to steroids, depending on the disease. While these medications may control symptoms they often produce many side-effects and do not address the underlying cause of disease.

Our Approach

At EcoLogical Internal Medicine, we recognize that digestive disorders can impact the entire body, creating inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, pain, and stress on many organ systems. We provide food allergy testing, nutritional assessment and comprehensive stool analysis to determine the condition of your digestive system. We help you optimize your diet and prescribe nutritional supplements to decrease inflammation, correct absorption problems, and heal your digestive tract. We may use intravenous nutrients to bypass malabsorption and maximize nutrient delivery to heal the digestive system and body.

Osteopathic Medicine is also important to restore proper structure and function to the stomach, intestines and other abdominal organs. We also work to reeducate your body using breathing exercises and meditation to balance the nervous system and improve digestion. Music therapy may also be used to improve digestive function by balancing the nervous system.
