Helpful Tips For Finding Relief From IBS
IBS affects as many as 45 million Americans today. If you’re among them and looking for long-term relief, we can help.
At the naturopathic practice of Humaira Quraishi, ND, MS, in Fort Lee and Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, we’re dedicated to helping our patients find lasting relief using individualized, holistic therapies to restore your body’s natural balance.
Dr. Quraishi is a naturopathic doctor, certified nutrition consultant, and digestive disorder specialist who strongly believes in promoting optimal health by starting at the root of your symptoms. IBS responds extremely well to this approach.
Today we talk about this frustrating condition and how we can help you find relief at last.
Understanding the causes of IBS
Experts believe many different factors may contribute to IBS, such as stress, gut bacteria, food intolerances, infections, and others.
When it comes to IBS, we believe that understanding the root cause is essential for effective treatment. Unlike conventional approaches that focus solely on symptom management, naturopathic medicine aims to uncover the underlying issues contributing to your discomfort.
Dr. Quraishi conducts a comprehensive evaluation to better understand your unique needs. This involves not only a physical exam but also an in-depth evaluation of your medical history, a complete lifestyle review, bloodwork, and other methods of digging deep to understand how your body works and why you’re experiencing the frustrating symptoms of IBS.
Dr. Quraishi combines all this information to create a personalized treatment approach that works for you.
