Doctors that offer you the gift of genuine listening & a focus on resolving the root causes of your health concerns.
DIGESTIVE DISORDERS TREATMENT
Digestive issues are common, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with them. Even if your conventional doctor has told you all your tests are normal, or has just labeled you with irritable bowel syndrome, our Naturopathic Doctors get to the underlying cause.
There are common culprits of digestive issues – food intolerances, stress, changes in gut flora, inflammation – but it is different for each person.
If you are ready to say good-bye to bloating, constant abdominal pain, leaky gut, and irregular digestion call our Naturopathic Doctors or book a new patient appointment.

OUR NATUROPATHIC APPROACH TO DIGESTIVE ISSUES
Our Naturopathic Doctors look into the causes of your digestive disorder using the most advanced specialty testing such as comprehensive stool analyses and food allergy panels to understand where your digestive issues are stemming from.
Identify the Cause
- Food choices
- Food intolerances
- Emotional connections
- Stress
- Gut microflora (bacteria, yeasts, parasites)
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Hormone imbalances (thyroid, adrenal, etc)
We utilize the most advanced, comprehensive testing available including:
Comprehensive Stool Analysis | Organic Acid Testing | Food Allergy Panels | SIBO Breath Tests | Thyroid & Adrenal Testing
FOOD ALLERGY
Our 200+ food allergy panel assesses for food intolerances that can lead to IBS, heartburn, eczema anxiety, fatigue, weight gain & more.
STOOL ANALYSIS
Our gut microbiome greatly impacts our digestive functioning, mood, adrenals, inflammation & more. Assess any imbalances you may have.
ORGANIC ACIDS
Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a simple and efficient way to assess a number of metabolic pathways providing insight into imbalances, nutrient needs & bacteria/fungal overgrowth.

How We Differ From Conventional Treatment
Many digestive issues are considered ‘functional issues’ which means that all laboratory testing and imaging appear normal. However, symptoms do not resolve.
Because of this, it is not uncommon for people to be told by their doctor that their digestive symptoms are ‘all in their heads’ or a given a diagnosis of depression or anxiety and then an antidepressant medication.
While it is true that our digestive system and our moods affect one another, the truth is, the doctor may not have ordered the right tests, and when you are not testing for the right thing, it is unlikely you will find it.
The conventional approach to digestive disorders usually includes symptom management through medications. For instance, it is common to receive an acid-blocking medication for heartburn.
However, the drug does not treat the underlying problem, and in many cases, it isn’t even useful in controlling symptoms.
Also, it is not common to discuss how food intolerances, nutritional deficiencies, and emotional links could be contributing to your symptoms.
The Naturopathic Doctors at Onyx Integrative understand the connection between our digestive health, emotional well-being, energy levels, and stress. They work with you to find solutions, not cover symptoms with medications.
