Understand IBS, SIBO, and Leaky Gut

Digestive health problems affect millions of Americans. They are responsible for more hospitalizations than any other disorder. Some of the most common disorders include:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterized by gut pain or discomfort, bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and/or alternating episodes of both diarrhea and constipation. The cause of IBS is unknown, but symptoms can be triggered by certain foods, stress, and hormonal changes.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO): SIBO is a condition where excessive bacteria grow in the small intestine causing bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, gas, and, in severe cases, malnutrition. SIBO interferes with nutrient absorption and digestion.

Leaky Gut: Our intestines have a degree of permeability, which is normal. Leaky gut occurs when the lining of the small intestine becomes damaged. Undigested food particles, toxins, and bacteria “leak” into the bloodstream. Symptoms include bloating, gas, cramps, food sensitivities, fatigue, headaches, joint pain, and skin issues.

Digestive health problems can affect every aspect of our lives, from our mental health and joint health to energy levels and skin health. Reach out to get outpatient nutrition therapy from a St. Louis area dietitian nutritionist. Start to feel better today.

Can a nutritionist help with gut health?

A nutritionist can definitely help when it comes to managing gut health. Our treatment plan includes these key steps to get you to reach your wellness goals:

Nutrition Assessment: Determine what foods may be contributing to and exacerbating your digestive health problems.
Personalized Nutrition Plans: We will develop an individualized meal plan and show you how to incorporate gut-friendly foods like high-fiber fruits, vegetables, whole grains, prebiotics, and probiotics.
Detect Trigger Foods: We can help you identify and eliminate foods that may trigger negative reactions in your gut.
Nutrition Education: Become food-label savvy, learn how to implement nutrition and eating habits (like mindful eating and intuitive eating) to improve your gastrointestinal issues. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
Symptom Management: We will monitor progress and adjust dietary plans as needed to manage symptoms of IBS, SIBO, or Leaky Gut.

Learn how to nourish your body without increasing symptoms, get supplement support, and work on behavior changes to improve wellness.

What foods are best for gut health?

This is a loaded question, as each person’s body, condition, and nutrition needs are unique; however, a gut health diet plan can include foods that are rich in fiber, have pro and prebiotics, and antioxidant-rich foods such as Omega 3 fatty acids.

In the same breath, we still want to work on incorporating a variety of food groups that contribute to feeling satiety and not being deprived at the same time.
