Doctor visits with your Gastro are important, but sometimes they might not uncover the root cause of your IBS or other stomach issues. Functional testing goes a step further, providing a more comprehensive picture of your gut health and the environment you’re dealing with. As we say in FDN, “test, don’t guess”! These tests can identify possible Gut Health contributors, such as:

• Hidden Food Sensitivities: Certain foods can trigger IBS flare-ups, even if they seem healthy and harmless. Functional testing can help find these foods for you, instead of guessing.

• Gut Microbiome Imbalances: The trillions of bacteria living in your gut can become imbalanced. Functional testing inspects your gut microbiome and identifies any specific imbalances, dysbiosis, parasites, viruses, or fungi.

• Underlying Digestive Issues: Testing can reveal other conditions like leaky gut or SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) that could be playing a role, as well as other digestive markers like antibodies, your immune system, and how well you digest your food.

Understanding the root cause of your IBS and Gut Health from Functional Testing helps us to create specific protocols meant just for you to follow. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach, but some of these protocols might contain:

• Diet Modifications: Eliminating food intolerances can greatly improve IBS symptoms.
• Targeted Supplements: Probiotics, digestive enzymes, and other evidence-based supplements can help restore balance in your gut.
• Lifestyle Adjustments: Stress is a known IBS trigger, so sometimes yoga or meditation can be really helpful. Or sometimes it’s creating a routine to get you to bed early so you get the sleep you need. 
• Alternative Solutions: Acupuncture is a helpful tool for managing IBS. It helps to stimulate the nervous system, fights pain and helps the gut to relax, which can ease cramping, bloating, and bathroom issues you might be dealing with.

Aro you:
• Struggling with gut health issues?
• Tired of feeling bloated, irregular, or just not yourself?
• Curious about how to optimize your gut health for a happier, healthier you?
• Looking to improve your overall health from the inside out?

How are the tests performed?
Both tests are sent directly to your home, and the Stool test is done in the privacy of your own bathroom and mailed out. The Food sensitivity test is a blood test and we send a Phlebotomist to your house to get it done.

Is this program In-person or Virtual?
Both! If you are local and would like to come into The Well Center, we love that. But don’t let location deter you, we also work virtually!

How long does the program last?
The program will be completed within 4-6 months.

Is this for Kids or Adults?
Both! Unfortunately, more kids these days are struggling with stomach and/or chronic issues and would benefit from this testing as well.

Am I guaranteed to resolve my symptoms?
There are no guarantees. This program works with us as the guide, with you doing the work at home. Gut health symptoms could be complicated and are sometimes connected to functions unrelated to the actual microbiome. What we can guarantee is that this program equips you with the knowledge and tools you need to take charge of your gut health, both during the program and for the long term.
