IBS is not a disease in and of itself. It is a collection of symptoms that are caused by other health factors. Other factors that are often overlooked, or not looked into at all.

If you suffer from gut issues like constipation, slow bowels, diarrhoea, bloating, gas, pain, food intolerances... You are no doubt feeling frustrated by the lack of answers to these problems in mainstream medicine. Chances are you have done some basic tests or even an endoscopy and/or colonoscopy to only be told you have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and just to avoid your 'trigger foods'. Maybe you've been told you have 'leaky gut'. Maybe it's SIBO. Maybe it's stress or 'all in your head'. In clinic I adopt the strategy of 'Test, don't guess'.

Do your parents or grandparents have heart disease? Diabetes? Alzheimer’s? Parkinson’s? MS? Cancer? Depression? Alcoholism? These conditions and many others have been shown to ‘run in families’. However, science is increasingly showing that it is not just the inherited genetics that predispose us to these and other ailments, but their interaction with the environment.

Whilst allergic reactions to such foods are often obvious and get diagnosed quickly, food intolerances are not as easy to diagnose and are often missed. Food intolerances are responsible for vague symptoms like headaches, behaviour changes such as anxiety/depression, digestive symptoms like IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), aches and pains (including arthritis type symptoms), reflux and indigestion, inability to lose weight and many others seemingly unrelated symptoms.
