IBS Case Study: Trina’s Gut Healing Journey
Trina came to me with the whole gamut – bloating, gas, constipation, reflux, pain with every meal. She had been struggling with these symptoms for YEARS.
Like so many of my clients, Trina thought that cutting out certain foods like gluten & dairy would help with her symptoms…
Until her diet became so limited and her fear around eating grew to the point where she was undernourishing.
I took one glance at her stool test and found the biggest problems that were keeping her stuck in this symptom spiral:
☝ H. Pylori is an infection that can cause reflux, constipation, bloating, & diarrhea
☝ Presence of yeast (common with H. Pylori infections)
☝Fat in her stool & low enzyme/stomach acid output showing that food breakdown is poor
☝Low immune function in the gut w/ elevated antibodies to gluten & gut inflammation
We worked together to make some diet tweaks and added in some targeted supplementation to help resolve these issues.
In just 4 weeks… Trina has more energy, less pain, and is finding joy in eating again!
