Functional Gastrointestinal Testing
Your gut plays a critical role in your overall health, impacting everything from your immune system to your energy, mood, and even your skin. When digestive issues arise, they can often be symptoms of deeper imbalances that require more than just surface-level solutions. At Bella Santé, we offer functional GI testing to dig deeper into the causes of digestive discomfort and help you understand the full picture of your gut health.
Functional GI testing goes beyond standard screenings, allowing us to identify underlying issues such as food sensitivities, gut dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria), leaky gut, and inflammation. By uncovering these root causes, we’re able to create personalized treatment plans designed to restore balance to your digestive system and improve your overall health.
The benefit of functional GI testing lies in its ability to provide detailed insights not only into your digestive health but also its influence on other areas of your body. Many chronic conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalances, and mental health concerns, can be closely linked to gut health. Identifying and addressing gut issues early on can help prevent these conditions from developing or worsening, allowing you to enjoy better overall wellness.
Functional GI testing is non-invasive and typically involves stool samples, breath tests, or food sensitivity panels. This means you can gain accurate, actionable information without the discomfort of more invasive procedures. With this comprehensive data, we can offer a treatment approach that includes tailored dietary changes, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments to address your specific needs.
By addressing gut imbalances at their source, functional GI testing offers long-term solutions that support not just digestive health but your well-being as a whole. Whether you’re struggling with bloating, fatigue, IBS, skin issues, or even autoimmune conditions, functional GI testing can be the key to unlocking the root cause of your symptoms and guiding you toward lasting relief.
