Dr. Lilienfield discusses Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatments

Treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Functional Medicine Approach

March 22, 2021/in Digestive Issues/by Lisa Lilienfield, MD

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic disorder that can cause considerable discomfort for those who are affected. Symptoms include abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. However, once diagnosed and under the proper treatment, people with IBS are able to reduce the frequency of their flare-ups for a better quality of life.

At The Kaplan Center, we have been successfully treating IBS for years using a Functional Medicine approach.

Functional Medicine physicians look for signs of imbalance and areas of health that can be optimized. If and when they are found, the next step is looking at factors that could be supporting or exacerbating the disease – like environment, diet, past infections, medications, and levels of stress for example. Once the underlying causes are identified and removed normal digestive function and health can be restored.

In this video, Dr. Lisa Lilienfield explains the Functional Medicine approach to treating IBS.

We are here for you, and we want to help.

Our goal is to return you to optimal health as soon as possible. To schedule an appointment please call: 703-532-4892 x2
