 Indigestion:
gas, bloating, abdominal pain, etc.
Gastrointestinal
(GI) symptoms are among the most common and widespread of health
complaints among the general populace. One survey found that over
a 3 month period, almost 7 of every 10 American households reported
someone suffering from some type of gastrointestinal symptom.1 What's more, a recent Swedish study revealed that, next to headache,
gastrointestinal problems are the number one medical complaint
among school children.2
For
successful, long-term treatment, it's crucial to pinpoint the gastrointestinal
dysfunctions that underly these complaints, the possibility of more
serious digestive diseases. In up to 50% of such cases, symptoms
are the result of a treatable imbalance within the gastrointestinal
tract.2
Genova
Diagnostics offers several accurate non-invasive assessments that
offer clinical insight for treating a wide range of gastrointestinal
disorders:
Indigestion
and CDSA: This classic functional asssessment provides
the most in-depth analysis of malabsorption, maldigestion, bacterial
& yeast imbalances in the GI tract.
Indigestion
and Parasites: Often unsuspected, an untreated parasitic
infection can create chronic symptoms that don't respond to conventional
GI treatments.
Indigestion and Lactose
Intolerance: A simple breath test can reveal one of the
most common causes of chronic indigestion—the inability to
properly digest lactose, or milk sugar.
Indigestion
and Bacterial Overgrowth of the Small Intestine: When
gut bacteria overgrow into the small intestine, they can trigger
chronic symptoms of maldigestion and malabsorption.
