Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

About Irritable Bowel Syndrome

It can be difficult to determine the cause of the common functional gastrointestinal disorder known as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

But we do know that, while the condition is physical, stress and other emotional factors can exacerbate symptoms.

Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome can include:

abdominal (stomach) pain and cramping, which may be relieved by moving your bowels.
a change in your bowel movements, like such as diarrhea, constipation or both.
bloating and swelling
excessive flatulence
occasionally experiencing an urgent need to use the bathroom.

When you visit our functional medicine clinics, a Forum Health IBS doctor will examine your health and medical history and work to relieve your symptoms like gas, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation.

Hear From Our Patients

For most of my life, I was told I needed all these different doctors with different specialties to figure out what was happening in my body. What I really needed was a functional doctor who listened and treated me as a whole person with connected systems. With the support of my Forum Health care team, I’m slowly but surely reversing my severe eczema, hypothyroidism, allergies, and chronic fatigue.

My parents, myself, and my children have been patients of Dr. Peterson for several years. He is an amazing doctor! The amount of time that he spend talking with us about our medical history and ALL of our symptoms was kind of shocking at first. He is incredibly thorough, both in talking to us as patients and in the testing that he does. I have been so impressed with the progress we have made because of his willingness to do testing.

After I had my daughter, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. I felt awful at the time. I was exhausted, bloated, had trouble concentrating, had heart palpitations, dizzy spells, and generally felt like I was carrying a backpack of bricks with me all day, every day. When I came to Dr. Taylor’s office he implemented a thorough and detailed plan for me...

Amazing doctors that actually listen and care about your health!

... Not only am I feeling better first the first time in years, but I’m finally losing weight and inches in a healthy, sustainable way! They’ve helped me to heal my gut and we are taking my PCOS on head on - it’s amazing and something that conventional medicine has been spinning their wheels with for years! I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me and know that I am a client for life!
