Gut Health Case Study: Resolving Bloating & Constipation
Case 1: 44year mother presented with severe and debilitating bloating, constipation, and IBS. These symptoms had plagued her life since childhood, made worse in her teens, around the time of a few courses of antibiotics.
Extensive testing revealed bacterial dysbiosis, very low beneficial bacteria, parasites and low gut immune defences, poor B vitamin status and a histamine problem likely related to the gut lining. SIBO and potentially H Pylori was also suspected but not tested.
The intervention: The client was already gluten and mostly dairy free. A course of high dose Antimicrobial ‘treatment’ was necessary to re-balance gut bacteria. She needed constipation support and we adjusted the diet for 3 months, whilst she undertook the program. After this, the client was put on a mix of targeted prebiotic and probiotics very carefully to slowly re-build the gut environment. Bloating was reduced to an occasional small flair within one month, the constipation was more stubborn was completely resolved by month 4-5, and the stabbing pain in the stomach never returned.

It can be, but bloating is very non-specific. You may also experience bloating if you’re constipated, not digesting fats well or have a say dairy intolerance. This is why we usually use specialists tests.
-
Yes we can, although leaky gut is often misrepresented, and it may actually not be super relevant to your gut issues.
Do i have leaky gut if i have IBS? No real relation, although this could be the case.

Functional medicine views gut health as central to overall wellness and the root of many health issues, including autoimmune diseases, mental health disorders, and chronic inflammation. This approach involves a thorough examination of an individual's diet, lifestyle, environmental factors, and genetic predisposition. Practitioners often use comprehensive testing, such as stool analysis and food sensitivity tests, to identify underlying problems like microbial imbalances, leaky gut syndrome, or nutrient deficiencies. Treatment strategies typically include personalized dietary modifications, probiotic and prebiotic supplementation, stress reduction techniques, and sometimes targeted medications or herbal remedies.

In functional medicine, dietary recommendations for improving gut health often focus on increasing the intake of whole, nutrient-dense foods, including a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Foods rich in fiber, such as legumes and whole grains, are encouraged to support a healthy gut microbiome. Additionally, the elimination or reduction of processed foods, sugars, and potential allergens or irritants like gluten, dairy, and certain additives is commonly advised. The inclusion of fermented foods, which are natural sources of probiotics, and possibly prebiotic supplements, is also recommended to promote a balanced and healthy gut flora. The specific dietary plan is tailored to the individual's unique needs and health status.

For majority of people, this comes highly recommended. You’ve probably already tried to heal your gut, but have struggled to identify exactly what’s wrong. Unfortunately with gut issues, symptoms such as bloating, wind and constipation are the same whether you have fat malabsorption, parasites or candida for example. So symptoms alone can’t tell you what’s wrong. A test cuts out wasting money on the wrong things, and time. Which is valuable life quality time. it allows the process to be more targeted. IBS is a meaningless non-specific term which just describes ‘gut symptoms’ of the wind and bloating kind.
Gut Health Case Study: Resolving Chronic Constipation
Case 2: A female professional was experiencing severe chronic constipation, which marginally improved with high water intake but worsened with all types of dietary fiber, complicating her aim for a healthy wholefood diet. Despite being dairy and gluten-free and on thyroid medication for 20 years, her symptoms persisted. A comprehensive stool analysis revealed a deficiency dysbiosis (lack of good gut bacteria), contributing to slow gut transit, and a need for increased bile support, likely influenced by her long-term thyroid medication use.
The client was prescribed a modified semi-IBS diet along with supplements to enhance stomach acid, bile flow, and bowel movements. Within the second session, her constipation had significantly improved, as long as she maintained her supplement regimen. Additionally, she experienced enhanced mental clarity, increased energy, and no longer had a gnawing feeling in her stomach after meals, a symptom she hadn't previously recognized.
The second phase of treatment focused on gradually rebuilding her gut bacteria, starting with a microdose for two months due to her gut's sensitive condition. By the third session, she was able to have bowel movements without herbal laxatives and was visibly pleased with her progress. We set her off with the tools she needed to continue to self-manage and improve her gut transit herself, and reported life-changing improvements in her overall health after a further 3 months.
