Integrative Gastrointestinal Care for Digestive Health
The Gastrointestinal Center at Alternative Medical Care of Arizona provides comprehensive evaluation and integrative treatment options for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), leaky gut, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and other chronic digestive concerns.
Leaky Gut and the Microbiome
Many integrative and functional medicine practitioners believe that improving the microbiome is one of the most important approaches to addressing increased intestinal permeability ("leaky gut"). While the scientific evidence is stronger for some conditions than others, there is substantial research showing that the gut microbiome helps maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Stem Cell Therapy for IBS at Alternative Medical Care of Arizona explores regenerative treatment options that may help support intestinal health, regulate inflammation, and improve digestive function for patients experiencing abdominal pain, bloating, cramping, and irregular bowel habits.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth
SIBO is a condition in which excessive bacteria grow in the small intestine, where relatively few bacteria should normally be present. This can interfere with digestion, nutrient absorption, and normal gastrointestinal function.
