At Patients Medical, our integrative gastroenterology team listens deeply and looks beyond symptoms—connecting gastrointestinal complaints to systemic root causes. We treat the whole ecosystem of digestion: microbiome, immune health, gut lining, stress, and toxicity. This allows long-lasting relief from reflux, IBS, SIBO, IBD, and more—providing personalized healing, not just band-aid prescriptions.
Functional gastroenterology combines diagnostic and therapeutic tools to restore healthy gut function naturally:
Through functional lenses, we often find overlapping issues:
We craft individualized, anti-inflammatory meal plans emphasizing gut-healing foods like bone broth, fermented vegetables, prebiotic fibers, and omega-3 rich fish. Personalized elimination diet and reintroduction protocols help uncover food triggers. Digestive enzyme and hydrochloric acid support enhance nutrient breakdown. Personalized counseling supports gradual, sustainable dietary shifts for long-term gut resilience and nutrient absorption.
We select evidence-backed botanicals (oregano oil, berberine, neem) and targeted probiotics/synbiotics to rebalance gut flora, support immunity, and reduce inflammation. Treatment is tailored to lab results and symptoms—avoiding one-size-fits-all strains. Low-dose antimicrobial rotations or herbal “bowel cleanse” protocols help manage SIBO or dysbiosis naturally. We also include prebiotic fibers suited to your gut profile to foster healthy microbial diversity
Protocols include micronutrient support (glutamine, zinc, vitamin A), mucosal healing botanicals (aloe, marshmallow, slippery elm), and cofactors like vitamin D and omega-3s for tight-junction repair. We may include gut-repair IVs with glutathione and vitamin C. This supports epithelial regeneration, immune balance, and barrier restoration—preventing antigen penetration and systemic inflammation for a functioning, protected gut lining
We integrate mind-body modalities—mindfulness, breathwork, yoga, and acupuncture—to calm the autonomic nervous system, enhance motility, and reduce visceral hypersensitivity. Guided CBT or gut-directed hypnotherapy helps reset gut-brain signaling in conditions like IBS and functional dyspepsia. These therapies not only reduce anxiety-linked gut symptoms but also foster sustainable mental-emotional resilience for ongoing gut health.
When medically indicated, we coordinate with gastroenterology colleagues to perform scopes, endoscopic exams, or gastric stimulator placement—for conditions like SIBO, gastroparesis, or suspected structural disease. This allows seamless integration of conventional diagnostics with our mind-body and nutritional support, ensuring safety while avoiding repetitive or unnecessary procedures—each chosen with intention for root-cause healing.
Fit digestive care into your daily life—sleep hygiene, movement, toxin avoidance and stress management. We address circadian regulation (light/dark cycles), EMF reduction, mold or heavy-metal detox support, and daily movement strategies (walking, yoga). These practices support digestion, motility, and detox pathways while enhancing microbiome health—making your entire lifestyle align with long-term gut vitality.
Mark, 45, had daily bloating, diarrhea, and brain fog for years. Testing uncovered SIBO, low stomach acid, leaky gut markers, and adrenal fatigue. Over 14 weeks, he followed a low-FODMAP elimination diet, herbal antimicrobials, gut repair supplements, probiotic cycling, adrenal support, and mindfulness. His symptoms resolved, lab markers normalized, and he regained energy—even weaning off daily probiotics within six months.

Yes—based on testing, we may use low-dose herbs or rifaximin. We always pair antimicrobials with gut restoration nutrients to avoid relapse.
Many patients start feeling relief within 4–6 weeks; full healing often requires 3–6 months of consistent care and maintenance protocols.
Yes—our breath, stool, and permeability tests are validated for diagnosing SIBO, dysbiosis, inflammation, and food reactivity.
Absolutely—we collaborate for scopes or imaging referrals when structural evaluation is required; you’re never left without standard medical backup.
Yes—we review all current medications and monitor for potential interactions with herbs or supplements.
Definitely—sleep routines, stress regulation, movement patterns, and toxin mitigation support motility, microbiome diversity, and long-term relapse prevention.
