Living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can feel like an uphill battle. Whether it’s the sudden rush to find a bathroom, the discomfort of bloating, or the frustration of never knowing what your stomach will do next, IBS can impact every aspect of your life—physically, emotionally, and socially.
But here’s the truth: you don’t have to live this way. At Alternative Family Medicine & Chiropractic, we take a different approach to IBS, working with you to uncover the root causes of your symptoms and create a personalized plan to help you feel better—fast.
IBS affects an estimated 25–45 million Americans, with women making up two-thirds of those diagnosed. While it can strike anytime between adolescence and adulthood, IBS remains a bit of a mystery. Scientists believe it’s linked to disturbances between the gut, brain, and nervous system, affecting how your bowel functions.
The symptoms can range widely and include:
For many sufferers, these symptoms go beyond physical discomfort. IBS often leads to missed work, skipped social events, and the dreaded task of “bathroom mapping” before leaving home. It’s a condition that can truly diminish your quality of life—but it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Traditional IBS treatments often focus on symptom management rather than addressing the root cause. Common options include:
While these treatments can provide temporary relief, they often come with side effects and fail to tackle what’s actually causing your IBS. That’s where we come in.
At Alternative Family Medicine & Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to IBS. Instead of masking symptoms, we focus on identifying and addressing the underlying factors contributing to your discomfort.
Our approach includes:
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. Every patient is unique, which is why we create customized care plans designed around you. Our comprehensive strategy also focuses on early intervention. Treating IBS now can help prevent more severe gastrointestinal issues like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease in the future.
In fact, many of our patients report significant relief within just four weeks of beginning their treatment plans. Imagine what your life could look like in just one month!
We’ve seen firsthand how life-changing the right treatment plan can be. Take Shireen Wright’s story:
*”I struggled with Candida in my gut for over 20 years, which turned into Candida Overgrowth after taking antibiotics six years ago. My health, energy, and emotional well-being deteriorated. I worked with two different functional doctors with no success.
Then I found Dr. Ann Barter, and everything changed. She correctly diagnosed me, linking my issues to mold exposure and Candida. After just two months of treatment, I’ve gained energy, lost weight, and no longer feel bloated. My headaches, acne, and hair loss have improved dramatically, and my cravings are under control. I’m back to high-energy workouts, and my mind is clearer than ever—all without medications! I’m so grateful for Dr. Barter’s natural, effective approach to health. I highly recommend her to anyone struggling with IBS or gut issues!”*
Shireen’s story is just one of many. With our tailored, natural solutions, you too can reclaim your health and live the vibrant life you deserve.
Living with IBS doesn’t have to mean accepting a diminished quality of life. Whether you’re tired of constant discomfort, want to enjoy food without fear, or are ready to stop mapping bathrooms, we’re here to help.
At Alternative Family Medicine & Chiropractic, our goal is simple: to empower you to take control of your IBS through proven, personalized care.
