Functional Medicine Approach
- Functional medicine views the body holistically, unlike traditional medicine, which often treats symptoms in isolation.
- It uses in-depth testing and considers factors like gut health, hormones, and diet to address underlying causes.
Common Offenders
- Gut health, especially SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), is a common underlying issue.
- Hormonal imbalances and adrenal issues, often caused by stress, are also frequently seen.
Heartburn and SIBO
- Avoid proton pump inhibitors for heartburn, as they can worsen SIBO by reducing stomach acid.
- We need hydrochloric acid to prevent bacteria from entering the small intestine.
