Restoring Your Digestive Health Naturally At 

At Trinity Naturopathic, we believe that optimal digestion is the foundation of overall health. Digestive issues such as bloating, acid reflux, IBS, and chronic constipation are often signs of deeper imbalances in the gut. Instead of just masking symptoms, we take a root-cause approach to restore digestive health through functional nutrition, gut-healing protocols, and holistic therapies.

What Causes Digestive Disorders?

Digestive issues are often linked to:

• Gut microbiome imbalances (dysbiosis, SIBO, candida overgrowth)

• Food sensitivities & intolerances (gluten, dairy, nightshades, FODMAPs)

• Low stomach acid & enzyme deficiency (leading to poor nutrient absorption)

• Leaky gut & chronic inflammation (triggering immune system reactions)

• Stress & nervous system dysfunction (slowing digestion & affecting motility)

By addressing these underlying factors, we can reduce symptoms and restore gut function naturally.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

What Is IBS?

IBS is a functional digestive disorder characterized by bloating, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. It is often linked to gut microbiome imbalances, stress, and food sensitivities.

Common Causes of IBS:

• Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

• Food intolerances (gluten, dairy, high-FODMAP foods)

• Gut-brain axis dysfunction (stress affecting digestion)

• Poor bile production and enzyme deficiencies

Our Holistic Approach to IBS:

• Functional testing to identify gut imbalances (SIBO, dysbiosis)

• Customized dietary plans (low-FODMAP, anti-inflammatory, gut-healing)

• Herbal antimicrobials to rebalance the microbiome

• Stress management techniques to regulate digestion

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) & Acid Reflux

What Is GERD?

GERD occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn, indigestion, and discomfort. While commonly treated with acid blockers, low stomach acid—not high—is often the real issue.

Common Causes of Acid Reflux:

• Low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) leading to poor digestion

• H. pylori infections

• Food sensitivities (dairy, caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods)

• Hiatal hernia or weak lower esophageal sphincter

Our Holistic Approach to GERD:

• Restoring stomach acid balance with apple cider vinegar & digestive enzymes

• Elimination diets to reduce trigger foods

• H. pylori testing & treatment if necessary

• Lifestyle adjustments (meal timing, postural changes, stress management)

Leaky Gut Syndrome & Intestinal Permeability

What Is Leaky Gut?

Leaky gut occurs when the intestinal lining becomes damaged, allowing toxins, bacteria, and undigested food particles to pass into the bloodstream, triggering inflammation, autoimmune reactions, and food sensitivities.

Signs & Symptoms of Leaky Gut:

• Chronic bloating, gas, or stomach discomfort

• Food intolerances and allergies

• Skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, acne)

• Brain fog, fatigue, and joint pain

• Autoimmune conditions (Hashimoto’s, rheumatoid arthritis)

Our Holistic Approach to Leaky Gut:

• Gut-healing nutrition (bone broth, glutamine, omega-3s)

• Probiotics & fermented foods to restore microbiome health

• Herbal gut repair protocols to soothe inflammation

• Stress reduction & lifestyle changes to support healing

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

What Is SIBO?

SIBO occurs when bacteria overgrow in the small intestine, leading to bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation shortly after eating.

Common Causes of SIBO:

• Low stomach acid & poor enzyme production

• Slow gut motility (linked to stress or past infections)

• Chronic antibiotic or PPI use

• High-sugar or fermentable carbohydrate diets

Our Holistic Approach to SIBO:

• Comprehensive breath testing to confirm SIBO

• Antimicrobial herbal protocols to rebalance gut bacteria

• Low-FODMAP or elemental diets to reduce fermentation

• Motility support to prevent recurrence

Constipation & Slow Digestion

What Causes Chronic Constipation?

Constipation occurs when stool moves too slowly through the digestive tract, leading to infrequent, difficult, or incomplete bowel movements.

Common Triggers:

• Low fiber intake & dehydration

• Slow thyroid function (hypothyroidism)

• Imbalanced gut bacteria or SIBO

• Magnesium or bile deficiency

• Chronic stress affecting peristalsis

Our Holistic Approach to Constipation:

• Hydration & fiber optimization to improve motility

• Magnesium & digestive enzymes to support movement

• Probiotic therapy to rebalance gut bacteria

• Herbal & lifestyle strategies to promote regularity

Ulcerative Colitis & Crohn’s Disease

What Are Ulcerative Colitis & Crohn’s?

These are inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) that cause chronic inflammation and damage to the intestines, leading to pain, diarrhea, malabsorption, and nutrient deficiencies.

Potential Root Causes of IBD:

• Gut microbiome imbalances & infections

• Autoimmune triggers & food sensitivities

• Chronic stress & adrenal dysfunction

• Leaky gut & immune system overactivation

Our Holistic Approach to IBD:

• Anti-inflammatory & gut-healing diets (low-residue, specific carbohydrate diet)

• Targeted probiotics & herbal therapies to reduce inflammation

• Functional stool testing to identify bacterial or fungal overgrowths

• Stress management & nervous system support
