II – Digestive Health
We offer two packages for individuals struggling with the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), one for those newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease, one for those newly diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis (UC), and one for those with food allergies or sensitivities. We also have a package to help address the common but misunderstood issues of constipation and hemorrhoids using a diet- and lifestyle-first approach.
Please note that if you are looking for services for histamine intolerance, it would be best to schedule an Initial Hourly Consultation to discuss this as there are several different ways this can be approached, depending on diagnoses that may be present.
1. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Package
The Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Package is designed for individuals who have had celiac disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) ruled out and who have been told by their doctor that they have IBS. Since the symptoms and causes of IBS symptoms vary between individuals, this package is designed to help determine which foods or food components are contributing to specific symptoms.
Unlike a Low FODMAP Diet, this package enables people to only eliminate foods or food components that result in symptoms.
2. Low FODMAP Diet Package
The Low FODMAP Diet Package is designed for individuals who have had celiac disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) ruled out and who have been told by their doctor that they have IBS and to follow a Low-FODMAP Diet. It is implemented in a very systematic and sequential way so that individuals are able to determine which FODMAP foods contribute to their symptoms and which do not.
3. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Package
The Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Package is designed for those newly diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) or Crohn’s Disease and focuses on reducing symptoms as quickly as possible and reintroducing foods in a way that minimizes the recurrence of symptoms.
4. Celiac Disease Management Package
The Celiac Disease Management Package provides detailed teaching for those newly diagnosed with celiac disease (IgA-mediated gluten intolerance) or those previously diagnosed with celiac disease but who are still experiencing symptoms or who have been unable to achieve a normal IgATTG test. These teachings will focus on how to eat to avoid accidental contact with gluten or gluten-containing products, including how to share a kitchen with those who are not celiac and how to eat out at friend’s houses, or restaurants.
5. Food Sensitivity and Food Allergy Management Package
The Food Sensitivity and Food Allergy Management Package is designed for those who have either been diagnosed with Ig-E mediated food allergies such as to eggs, soy, or tree nuts by an allergist, or who suspect they may be sensitized to certain foods, or components of foods that may be related to their environmental allergies to alder or birch trees, or to latex.
This package would also be helpful for those diagnosed with significant tree or grass pollen allergies and who are experiencing symptoms of Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) i.e. tingling in the mouth, swelling of the lips or tongue, itchy mouth, etc,. and want to know which foods to be careful of.
6. Constipation and Hemorrhoid Management Package
Both constipation and hemorrhoids are related to factors in addition to what most people think, so reducing their occurrence requires rethinking them.
The Constipation and Hemorrhoid Management Package is designed to help people reduce the common occurrence of both of these using a food- and lifestyle-first approach. It can be taught entirely grain-free, if that is your preference.
Please note: At this time, all services are provided via a secure telehealth portal.
