Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) May be estimated to be the root cause of over 70% of all IBS cases! Symptoms are wide ranging, but most common is bloating, constipation and / or loose stools with excess gas. Trillions of bacteria and yeast cells live in the digestive tract. Almost all naturally reside in the large intestine. SIBO can be the result of an insult to the digestive system such as ... Food poisoning, Traveller’s diarrhea, Multiple antibiotic use, Food allergies or sensitivities and even another digestive disease (celiac, ulcerative colitis, crohn’s). In these cases, bacteria are able to migrate into the small intestine and colonize, creating an inflammatory state and digestive upset. At Vitalia, we use the lactulose 3-hour breath test to diagnose SIBO. The test is done at home over a 3 hour period. Once completed, the kit is sent to a local laboratory for analysis and results are often ready within the week. #sibo #sibodiet #smallintestinalbacterialovergrowth #vitalia #vitaliahealthcare #ivdripvancouver #vancouverthyroidcenter #postoftheday #vancouver #naturopathicmedicine

Mold-The Hidden Source of Illness Fatigue Headaches Sensitivity to scents/supplements/textures... Depression Anxiety Weight Gain Hair Loss Feeling Bloated Urinary Tract Infections Yeast infections Have I got your attention yet? Mold illness encompasses so many different symptoms, but can all be brought down to the commonality of a water damaged building at some point in a person’s life. Why can’t I get better? This is one of the most common questions that comes up with mold illness. Mold is also one of the least-suspected culprits when trying to get down to the cause of symptoms, but surprisingly is not that rare. Living, working, driving, exercising, praying or other indoor activity in a structure that has water damage leads to long term health effects, even decades after the exposure. #vitalia #vitaliahealthcare #onlinebooking #flattenthecurve #stopthespread #selfcare #wellness #balance #naturopathicmedicine #healthyliving #vancouver #ivdrip #ivdripvancouver #nutrition #hairgrowth #mold #moldillness

Dark circles come with certain genetics, lifestyle factors, and of course with age. Their presence can be stressful to the psyche, as they can give the appearance of fatigue and feeling unrefreshed, even with the best night’s sleep. As we age, there are multiple factors that contribute to periorbital changes. Such factors include: thinning tissue, loss of collagen and hyaluronic acid, increased pigmentation, wrinkles/fine lines and changes in ligament and bone structure. ...PRP is natural. A small sample of blood is drawn, and then spun to separate the platelets into a higher density and remove red and white blood cells. A numbing cream is applied to the face prior to the treatment to minimize any discomfort. The PRP is injected to desired locations on the face.

Why Must I Complete a Screening Consult Prior to this Treatment? This consult is in place for your safety, and for determining if you are a suitable candidate for the treatment. Certain underlying health conditions PRP may be contraindicated such as uncontrolled diabetes, infection, recent history of cancer and liver disease. During this consult we discuss if a partial or full treatment would be best suited to you. Beyond these items, I review general health symptoms and r...ecent laboratory testing. When indicated, laboratory testing may be recommended prior to starting treatment to investigate underlying causes for the hair loss that may impede your success with PRP.

Constipation is a condition where a person may find it difficult to empty the bowels, have infrequent bowel movements or have hard, dry stools. It is a very common condition. According to the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation, one in four Canadians have symptoms of constipation. There are many different reasons why someone may experience constipation. The most common reason is not drinking enough water and/or not adding enough fiber into your diet. Other possible re...asons may include gallbladder health, the overgrowth of bacteria (SIBO) or yeast in the gut and problems with motility in the digestive tract. Consume enough water daily for your body weight, add both soluble and insoluble fiber, exercise daily. All of these may help. A comprehensive Naturopathic treatment approach will include nutrition guidance specific to your body as well as laboratory testing to investigate possible underlying causes of constipation.
