When Chronic Gut Cases Feel More Complex Than They Should

Many practitioners were never given practical training in how to confidently manage chronic constipation, IBS, bloating, diarrhea, reflux-like symptoms and other DGBI's.

Common roadblocks may include:

Patients who plateau despite common dietary interventions such as Low FODMAP, gluten free, lactose free
Uncertainty about how to explain to your patient what's driving their symptoms despite normal testing
Knowing what "functional" tests are worth pursuing and will provide clinically actionable data
Understanding different treatment options and testing for each constipation sub-type
How to strategically prescribe OTC laxatives, pro-motility medications & neuromodulators
Knowing when to refer your patient for more advanced testing/treatment (anorectal manometry, colonoscopy, biofeedback, etc)
Help with lab interpretation (CRP, fecal calprotectin, celiac testing etc)
