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. 

Naturopathic therapies for IBS

Our practice offers a full spectrum of naturopathic therapies that help solve the root causes of your IBS while promoting optimal digestive health overall. These treatments include:

Herbal medicine 

Dr. Quraishi carefully selects herbal remedies that support digestive health and relieve symptoms such as bloating, gas, and belly pain.

Personalized nutrition plan

Dr. Quraishi works with you to develop a nutrition plan that eliminates IBS trigger foods and incorporates healing, nutrient-rich options to soothe your digestive system.

Pharmaceutical-grade supplements 

A personalized supplement plan can help address your specific symptoms and correct nutrient deficiencies, all the while promoting glowing whole-person health. 

Stress management

Stress management helps you manage and prevent stress, which is often one of the most common factors contributing to IBS. From stress response strategies to mindful meditation and beyond, stress management can provide benefits for not just your IBS but also for your life as a whole. 

Exercise 

Regular physical activity can help your digestive system function better and promote better overall health. Dr. Quraishi works hand-in-hand with you to develop an exercise plan that’s convenient and easy to incorporate into your lifestyle. 

Beyond these approaches, we offer unique natural therapies like hydrotherapy, cleanses, and detoxes. We’re here to help you feel better, from the inside out.
