Digestive Dysfunction

​

Digestive dysfunction is a broad and complex subject that is subjective to each individual’s specific case.  In the Chiropractic office, it is important to determine lifestyle habits of the patient in order to determine what is ingested into the body and what the body is exposed to on a daily basis.  A thorough history of the patient’s lifestyle and dietary habits must be obtained, which can give the Chiropractor further insight into causative agents leading to digestive dysfunction. 

​Food and allergy testing can be conducted for a more detailed approach to uncovering foods and/or allergens disrupting the homeostatic balance of the body.  Because food and allergy testing is not typically covered by insurance and can be quite costly, an elimination diet is the next best approach to narrowing down causative agents in the patient’s diet.  Probiotics should almost always be added to any individual’s diet suffering from digestive issues.  Because the digestive system houses a large portion of the immune system and relies on the presence of healthy bacteria to function properly, intake of probiotic supplements and probiotic containing foods (kombucha, yogurt, certain pickled foods) containing this healthy bacteria is highly recommended.
