Digestive Conditions
Everybody Poops
It’s true, we all do it! While most of us don’t like to talk about it, it’s something that is discussed regularly within the confines of One Bite at a Time. Whether you’re bloated, gassy, constipated, or have a diagnosed medical condition, you’d be hard pressed to find something we’re not familiar with. Our digestive system is complex, as it is responsible for the ingestion, processing, absorption, and elimination of everything we consume each day. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that when our gut is unhappy, many other aspects of our body can be negatively affected. My guess is that before landing on our page you’ve been scouring the internet looking to see what conditions align with your symptoms. If you’ve been down that rabbit hole, you know how daunting of a journey that can be. The truth is, there is not a one size fits all solution that you’re going to find on someone’s blog or website- no matter how experienced or qualified they might be. We are complex beings and there are numerous dietary and lifestyle changes that may or may not help improve your symptoms. We are licensed and trained to utilize our experience to navigate this with you and determine what the right approach is - specifically for you. This takes time, but is totally worth the effort!
What to expect when working with us:
We’ll obtain a detailed health and diet history from you to determine any potential root causes or concurrent health conditions that might be contributing to your symptoms
We’ll look at your current diagnosis and explore if there is anything else that might be contributing to your symptoms or triggers
We’ll work to settle your stomach first, eliminating any potential irritants so that we have a solid baseline to return to as we try different approaches
We’ll strategically re-introduce foods to determine how your body responds to them
We’ll tailor a diet that is personalized to your tastes, sensitivities and lifestyle
We’ll make sure to address any nutrient deficiencies as a result of our findings or that are anticipated due to adjustments we make
