Every now and then, we all have problems with our digestive tract. Perhaps we have a little diarrhea or some nausea and vomiting. Some people may experience constipation. Maybe even a combination of all of these. Having this occur occasionally is normal. While IBS may be uncomfortable, it is not serious or life altering.

What does become life altering is when the GI system and tract no longer works appropriately. When this occurs, GI tract symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, constipation and frequent gas are noted. When this occurs three or more times a month for at least the last three months, this is considered irritable bowel syndrome symptoms.

There are many possible reasons for irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. If you have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome and live in the Atlanta area you should consider consulting with our naturopathic doctors at Nova Clinic for treatment.

Individualized Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

It is important to know that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) does not change the lining of the GI tract itself. With irritable bowel syndrome, a complex set of symptoms occurs together and frequently. IBS is not actually a disease, but rather a disorder and set of symptoms that occur together.

Treating IBS does not involve simply ‘popping’ a pill, but rather requires a thorough evaluation and investigation to determine the causative reasons. Medications may not always be effective for sufferers of IBS, and a naturopathic physician can help determine a holistic treatment plan for you based on your individual symptoms.
