DGBI involve issues with the normal communication between the brain and the gut, the immune system, microbiome and one’s sensitivity to pain. It’s more complex than just having irregular poops! As a whole, this categorization does NOT include conditions such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s or Colitis), severe food allergies, acute infections, conditions or surgery that affect GI function. In many cases we need to rule out these conditions prior to assuming it’s a functional cause, such as IBS or the things listed in the image above. So, speak with your doctor for further guidance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/660033866e1c6d6bca2fe197/1712857858874-PP8C18OP2MR27NACEV3C/tummyache.jpeg Blog - I’ve been diagnosed with IBS, now what? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/660033866e1c6d6bca2fe197/ff8d282b-c731-4efc-b572-057bde0de4f3/Whitney+Branding-6.jpg Blog - I’ve been diagnosed with IBS, now what? - About Dr. Whitney Dr. Whitney is a gut-focused naturopathic doctor.

If you’ve gotten your iron levels checked and are feeling the symptoms listed above, speak with your doctor to learn the best dose and form of iron. Even after you’ve started supplementing, you’ll want to have follow up testing roughly every 3 months to ensure your iron isn’t too high (which can be dangerous to your body). Pregnancy is a time when you’ll require more iron due to increased demand to supply to your babe. It’s very common to become iron deficient during pregnancy and you will be monitored throughout, perhaps requiring an iron supplement in addition to your prenatal. My iron supplement made me constipated, how do I avoid this? The form you are taking may not be getting absorbed and causing digestive distress. You can try a bisglycinate form or take your supplement with a vitamin C (either a supplement, or foods like citrus fruits, strawberries or bell peppers), away from calcium and tea or coffee. Some people find taking it at night is also helpful! You may also be experiencing microbial imbalance and will want to get this addressed by a naturopathic doctor. Learn all about this in my blog HERE. If you’ve done all of the above and are still constipated, let’s work on your digestive health! If you live in BC, get started with me HERE What causes low iron? This is NOT intended for medical advice, rather a general overview of items to chat to your medical doctor about heavy periods (and low iron can CAUSE heavy periods!) low intake from food poor absorption despite adequate intake infections (including colds, flu’s, microbiome imbalances) bleeding (which can be obvious or not - such as blood loos through the digestive tract from Celiac Disease or other inflammatory bowel diseases) https://www.drwhitneybaxter.com/blog/blog-post-title-three-c6mee monthly 0.5 2024-05-04 https://www.drwhitneybaxter.com/blog/blog-post-title-four-245lx monthly
