Bloating can be very uncomfortable and impact how you look and feel. Although it’s common for people to experience bloating, it is not normal.
If you’re questioning, “why am I always bloated?”, it’s a sign that something isn’t working right in your digestive system. Fortunately, you can improve your life by identifying the cause and starting a bloating treatment.
In Cincinnati, Amy Brenner, MD & Associates helps patients identify why they feel bloated and offer treatments to solve the problem. Our team of physicians, nurse practitioners, and wellness coaches work together to create customized care plans to address the cause of your discomfort.
Let’s talk about how we treat bloating in Cincinnati.
Consultation
All new patients start with a consultation. Our experts will sit down with you to learn more about your symptoms, diet, lifestyle, medical history, and goals for treatment. Based on this information, we will determine if testing is necessary.
Testing
Stool testing is an easy and fast way to identify the cause of your bloating. We use GI Map testing to see exactly what is happening in your gut. You can complete the GI Map in Cincinnati in the comfort of your home. It provides us with valuable information about your digestive system, such as:
- The presence of yeast, candida, parasites, viruses, or other pathogens in your gut
- The overall balance of good vs. bad bacteria in your gut
- The health of your digestive system
- Inflammation in the gut
- Immune health
- Beta-glucuronidase (an important enzyme that helps the body eliminate toxins and regulate hormones)
Treatments
After we receive your results, our experts will create a customized care plan to treat the cause of your bloating. Every treatment looks different based on your results, but can include:
- Probiotics
- Antibiotics
- Diet modifications
- Supplements
- Referral to GI specialist if necessary
By treating the source of your bloating, we can help you to live a healthier and happier life.
