Can you get rid of IBS? I’m not the only one who has. While doctors may tell you it’s not possible. I strongly disagree.
The hurdle with an IBS diagnosis is that there’s no good Western medical solution. Pharmaceuticals and laxatives may help with symptoms but will never fix the gut.
I want better for the people who suffer with a condition that I once suffered with. My client’s success stories show that there are many options out there.
Never give up hope.
Everyone has a different root cause for IBS. Functional medicine takes an investigative approach to solving each unique digestive health puzzle.
What drives IBS is a mix of diet, lifestyle, pathogens/toxins and stress.
A health coach looks at all these areas and creates a synergistic plan that uses various tools to bring the gut back to balance.
Having gut issues is emotional. Just like bloating or reflux, confusion, doubt, anxiety and negativity, can also be symptoms of gut dysfunction.
What is broken can be fixed.
The gut can be rebalanced naturally with the right testing, herbs, diet and lifestyle. And you’ll feel like yourself again.
That’s what happened with Val. She came to me full of tension, doubt and fear. A c diff infection knocked her out of balance years prior.
Despite Val’s anxiety the problem was not in her head. Her GI Map revealed that several pathogens were driving her mental, emotional and physical symptoms.
Getting a handle on infections, pathogens and overgrowth can reduce emotional strife.
We addressed Val’s parasite naturally and she began to feel better. As she cleaned up her gut and her diet, her gut issues dissipated.
I don’t want to say it is every easy. It takes work and dedication. Val worked on her nervous system and her gut at the same time. She made different food choices and she stayed consistent with her program. Her results reflect her hard work.
IBS is not the lifelong sentence if you keep searching for answers.
Val was a different woman during our last session. She was calm, relaxed, confident, happy and feeling empowered by her efforts.
Val’s story in her own words
To say I was in a desperate state when I contacted Angela is an understatement. At that point, I had already been suffering with IBS for about 4 years after a terrible gut infection called C-Diff, which I contracted after heavy antibiotic use from an infection.
The C-diff infection even led me to get a temporary form of arthritis called “Reactive Arthritis”.
At only 26, my body was a mess but I learned to live with it. I had done some cleansing and diet adjustments along the way which did help some but never provided true relief.
But things took a toll for the worse when I was in a prolonged high stress situation. High stress + IBS = Chaos!
I found myself dealing with very high anxiety, which I never had to deal with before. I even developed upper GI symptoms like chest pain and throat tightness from reflux.
My body was in a state of fight or flight at all times. I was not digesting my food properly, it would just go right through me! I was hardly getting any nutrients from my food and lost 40 lbs in 2 yrs, so 20lbs a yr and I already didn’t have too much too loose.
My GI specialist provided no real answers or solutions. I knew the body could recover naturally and I was determined to get better rather than go on a medication that would cover up, not resolve the real underlying issues.
That’s when I found Angela! She ordered the GI map test to take a look inside the gut and set me on the right path with the proper herbs to target my issues and a diet plan.
She also gave me the proper guidance to help my anxiety. Relief didn’t come immediately, it never does. But after about 3 months, I was seeing improvements and 1 year later, I can say I am like a whole new person!
A repeat GI test showed much improvement and set me on the second half of this journey of really repairing the damage that was done.
I also took a Food sensitivity test with Angela that helped pinpoint triggers, I had no idea eggs would be my highest sensitivity. Now I know what I really need to avoid.
Every gut microbiome is unique and every IBS challenge is different. One size and protocol does not fit all! I can’t stress how important doing the GI map test is if you are suffering with IBS.
Angela is an amazing coach, well knowledgeable about the body, microbiome and herbs.
She will suggest other tests if she see’s fit because it really is so important to know what it is your unique situation will reveal in order to target the issue.
She has helped so many and she sure has helped me! I can finally enjoy food again!
I can function like a normal human being! Importantly, I no longer have ANY anxiety! I am so grateful to have my life back!”
