Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is associated with many symptoms ranging from abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, bloating and flatulence, to extra-intestinal symptoms like headaches and joint pain. Stress can further exacerbate IBS symptoms and seemingly halt digestion in its tracks. Dr. Lana approaches IBS holistically by assessing and addressing gut motility, an imbalanced gut microbiome, anxiety, and how best to draw blood towards the digestive tract to promote digestion and nutrient absorption. Dr. Lana helps educate her patients on diet and lifestyle, as well as appropriate stress management techniques.
