Emily Conquers Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue and Leaky Gut

Emily came to the Goldberg Tener Clinic suffering with chronic digestive issues (Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Leaky Gut Syndrome), chronic fatigue and brain fog for many years. She experienced heavy bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort and diarrhea daily which made it difficult for her to function. She previously sought care with a functional / integrative medical physician who diagnosed her with Epstein-Barr virus, candida, irritable bowel syndrome and leaky gut (these are common labels often given to patients by functional doctors but do not represent the actual causes of the problem). Emily was given large amounts of supplements to treat her symptoms but these failed to restore her health. Read our two part article “The Facade of Functional / Integrative / Alternative Medicine”: Part I and Part II.

It was clear after meeting with Emily and performing a comprehensive evaluation that her irritable bowel symptoms, leaky gut, fatigue and brain fog were interrelated problems with common origins. Testing revealed she was having significant difficultly digesting food, resulting in large amounts of putrefaction and fermentation which contributed to her fatigue, brain fog and other systemic issues. Resolving Emily’s digestive problems was key to resolving her other symptoms.

Addressing Emily’s health required a comprehensive approach, not just a diet and supplements. An individualized, Bio-Hygienic Program™ was developed for Emily to implement, in stages, based on her progress and feedback. Steps were taken to rest her digestive tract, in cycles, along with specific counseling on diet, eating behaviors, stress management and other Bio-Hygienic factors. Ups and downs occurred initially as her body worked to come back into balance. Regular support was given at follow up appointments to assist her in working through the temporary discomforts that commonly occur in the healing process. Emily exhibited patience and perseverance which was key to her success.

In six months, Emily’s digestive issues resolved entirely and as a result, her energy and brain fog also improved. She is longer dependent on taking endless supplements or other treatments to manage her symptoms. She has been equipped with the tools needed to maintain the improvements she has achieved so she can continue to have reliable health in the future.
