Our Comprehensive Approach

We are interested in determining the exact cause of your experiencing GI symptoms so we can formulate a specific, effective treatment plan.

• Diagnostic Assessment:The development of a thorough clinical history and diagnostic measurement, and, to identify the cause of the disorder, the stool, blood and advanced imaging/endoscopy referrals (in case of necessity).
• Lifestyle and Diet Modification:To calm the gut and control symptoms, providing specific dietary recommendations, particularly in cases of IBS or chronic gastritis, can be beneficial.
• Medical Therapy: Recommendation and overseeing medications (e.g., PPIs, antibiotics, anti-spasmodics) used to treat the infections and reduce acid secretion and inflammation.
• Gut-Brain Axis Management: An understanding of the close relationship between stress and GI function, and offering multi-dimensional care by taking into account systemic factors.
