Have you already seen your primary care doctor about your chronic gut issues, only to be given a prescription to deal with the symptoms and told to come back in 4 weeks if things aren’t better?

Perhaps you are dealing with regular bloating, acid reflux or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), diarrhea, stomach cramps, or even fatigue and brain fog as well?

Most likely, your doctor recommended antacids (like Tums, Pepto-Bismol) or proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) to deal with “overactive” stomach acid or some other medication to deal with the symptoms.

While some medicines may slightly ease symptoms in the short term, they can seriously harm you in the long term because you’ll never explore why you have bloating, diarrhea, or heartburn in the first place!

The problem with this is that there are so many reasons why you could experience chronic digestive distress. Unless you understand the actual root cause of what’s ultimately leading to the observed digestive symptoms, you don’t know how to fix it for good!

That’s why the conventional approach to chronic digestive disorders is frustrating for both practice members AND doctors.

Patients are unable to resolve their digestive issues because primary care doctors feel ill-equipped to identify the root cause of a patient’s gut problems.
