Does your Gut need Help?

Bloating, abdominal pain, constipation/diarrhoea, heartburn, and lack of energy are just some of the indications that your digestion needs support. These symptoms can have a systemic affect on the entire body, leading to chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, diabetes, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, eczema, migraines and many more.

The Nutrition Detectives focuses on the functional medicine approach to digestive health which is called the 5R program. Remove, Replace, Re-inoculate, Repair and Retain.

Remove - Anything that negatively impacts on the Gut, e.g. food intolerances such as gluten, wheat and dairy, infections such as parasites, yeast or bacteria.

Replace - With essential nutrients that have been depleted. These could be digestive enzymes, improving hydrochloric acid or vitamins and minerals that have been lacking in the diet.

Re-inoculate - With beneficial bacteria to re-establish a healthy balance of good bacteria. This may be in the form of a probiotic or via food sources such as fermented foods.

Repair - It is essential to provide the body with the nutrients required to heal the gut. This could be from food sources or supplementation.

Retain - Providing continued support for the healing and regeneration of the Gut.
