Posted @withregram • @dr.ashleykowalskind “I feel so uncomfortable and bloated 😣 “ I hear my patients say this ALL the time. Let’s cover some common reasons why you may be “backed up”💩: 1) Diet and lifestyle choices such as not drinking enough water and lack of exercise - are you drinking a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day? 💦 Are you being physically active? 🏃‍♂️ 2) Stress 😖 results in our digestion being “put on hold” while our body prepares to defend itself against external factors which we perceive as a threat. Some people have a hard time leaving this high-stress state of mind. 3) Bacterial overgrowth / infections 🦠: Do you have a history of food poisoning / gastro? A bad cold or flu? An IBS “diagnosis”? 4) Food sensitivities 🍨: certain foods are more “damp” by nature and can result in infrequent bowel movements, along with other symptoms like gas and bloating. I’d be happy to chat and help you address the underlying cause of your #constipation 👩‍⚕️ #ottcity #ottawa #embrunon #russellon #ottawanaturopath #embrunnaturopath #russellnaturopath #constipated #poo #gas #bloating #bloatedbelly #stomachpain #constipationrelief #sibo #foodsensitivity #dairyfreelife #stress #stressedout #exercisemotivation #water #ibs #irritablebowelsyndrome #smallintestinalbacterialovergrowth #gastro https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ9-S2DFGOb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Posted @withregram • @dr.ashleykowalskind “Bloodwork, imaging, and scopes - all normal. This doesn’t explain why I feel the way I do!” 😣 Are you tired of relying on laxatives? Afraid to leave the house due to fear of experiencing an overwhelming sense of urgency? How embarrassing! 💩 maybe you’ve been told you have ”IBS”? I’d be happy to help work with you to get to the bottom of this. We can test for and/or treat bacterial overgrowth as a cause of your digestive discomfort. 👩‍⚕️ Reside in Ontario? Accepting both virtual (preferred) and in-office appointments at this time! #ontarionaturopath #ottawa #ottawanaturopath #ottcity #embrun #embrunon #embrunnaturopath #russellon #russellnaturopath #irritablebowel #irritableboweldisease #irritable #constipationrelief #diarrhea #diarrheasucks #sibo #smallintestine #smallintestinalbacterialovergrowth #bacteria #bacterialovergrowth #telemedicine https://www.instagram.com/p/CJXJoAph0I_/?igshid=n33iaw02pllm

Posted @withregram • @dr.ashleykowalskind Medication use 💊, surgery, history of travel, food poisoning, gastroenteritis, and/or colds/flus can ALL lead to #IBS symptoms. 💩 The vast majority of IBS presentations are due to a bacterial overgrowth issue - resulting in constipation/diarrhea, urgency, and changes in frequency of stools. 🦠 You can kind of think of it as an infection... minus the fever and head cold symptoms! . . . If you’re looking for answers and relief when it comes to your IBS diagnosis - I’d be happy to help! 👩‍⚕️ Let’s say bye to these bacteria so you can comfortably get on with your regular routine! 👋 . . . #embrun #embrunon #ottawa #ottcity #russell #russellon #embrunnaturopath #russellnaturopath #sibo #smallintestinalbacterialovergrowth #ibsd #ibsc #constipation #diarrhea #digestion #digestiondoc #irritablebowelsyndrome #ibsm #ibsfriendly #ibsmoments https://www.instagram.com/p/CFPB84vhk9B/?igshid=1u7jk68sohojn

Posted @withregram • @dr.ashleykowalskind MOST people with #IBS cannot tolerate #onion or #garlic in their diets. 😣 Does this sound like you? 🙋🏻‍♀️ . . . These foods are highly fermentable which means they can cause #gas #bloating #cramping in people. Try the listed substitutes instead, and don’t forget to see a Naturopathic Doctor 👩‍⚕️ to test for #SIBO 🦠 (the cause of 80-90% of IBS cases - and yes NDs do treat this!) so that you will hopefully be able to tolerate these foods once again! 🧅 🧄 . . . #ottawa #613 #ottcity #embrun #embrunon #ottawanaturopath #embrunnaturopath #russell #russellon #easternontario #ontario #ontarionaturopath #irritablebowelsyndrome #smallintestinalbacterialovergrowth #ibsrelief #bloat #byebloat #guthealth #fodmap #lowfodmap #digestion https://www.instagram.com/p/B_vw8Lcjzxv/?igshid=1lihycp0k42nd

Posted @withregram • @dr.ashleykowalskind Posted @withregram • @ibs.fodmap.nutrition . . . 💫 I often hear people complain that their pants fit tighter as the day goes by - and it is usually worse after they eat! 🍞 🥛 . . . #Bloating may be due to a lack of sufficient stomach acid, constipation, food sensitivities, and/or #SIBO 🦠 . . . Speak with your Naturopathic Doctor 👩‍⚕️ to test for / determine the cause of your bloating! DM or email for your virtual appt. 👩‍💻 . . . #ottawa #613 #ottcity #ottawanaturopath #embrun #embrunon #embrunnaturopath #digestion #IBS #lowfodmapdiet #fodmap #constipation #IBSC #foodsensitivities #foodintolerance #irritablebowelsyndrome #glutenfree #dairyfree #smallintestinalbacterialovergrowth #antisibo https://www.instagram.com/p/B_gMOwuD8rR/?igshid=11kca95nn10n2

Posted @withregram • @dr.ashleykowalskind 💫 There are a few key factors that contribute to #IBS symptoms. . . . Stomach acid is important for the breakdown of food and to help with bloating/gas, it also helps kill bacteria 🦠 . . . Colds/flus, as well as food poisoning, can put you at risk of IBS 🤒 . . . Medications can increase gastrointestinal transit time and predispose one to developing IBS 💊 . . . Food sensitivities can cause GI irritation and lead to changes in bowel consistency and frequency, making your symptoms worse!💩 . . . A strong immune system helps us fight off infections and increases our resiliency! 😃 . . . ⏺ Join my Facebook group (link in bio) to get more information on this topic. My goal is to provide information on what causes these unpleasant symptoms, things you can do at home, and how you can get your life back on track! I will be adding content regularly and answering questions! 🙋🏻‍♀️ . . . #embrun #embrunon #embrunnaturopath #ottawa #ottawanaturopath #ontarionaturopath #ibs #irritablebowelsyndrome #sibo #stomachacid #colds #flu #foodsensitivities #immunesupport #lowstomachacid #tuesdaymotivation #smallintestinalbacterialovergrowth https://www.instagram.com/p/B--Pz3-B8ak/?igshid=n6k3jm7bm3n6

Posted @withregram • @dr.ashleykowalskind Diet changes will help your symptoms and quality of life, but who wants to restrict their diet for years? ⬇️🙋🏻‍♀️ . . . As a Naturopathic Doctor, I help people get to the root cause of their IBS and digestive upset via a thorough history assessment and/or testing. 🙌🏻 Let me hear about your experience with IBS and what has worked - or what hasn’t worked - well for you? 👩‍⚕️ . . . #ontario #ibs #irritablebowelsyndrome #cramps #constipation #diarrhea #naturalmedicines #ottawa #ottcity #ottawanaturopath #easternontario #prescottrussell #embrun #embrunon #embrunnaturopath #virtuallearning https://www.instagram.com/p/B-8De6TjtZc/?igshid=1kumnb94c8mi1

Posted @withregram • @dr.ashleykowalskind 💫 Waking up with a flat abdomen is great - I feel and look amazing in the mirror! But why do I become bloated as the day goes on? . . . Low stomach acid is a common reason for this presentation - you might feel as though you look six months pregnant after meals! 🥴 IBS sufferers complain of bloating regularly, and more often than not, have low stomach acid as a contributing factor to their symptom presentation. Replenishing stomach acid is one key part of the recovery process for #IBS - see how an #ND can help you! 👩‍⚕️ . . . A great thanks to @ibs.nutritionist for posting this infographic!! 🙌🏻 . . . #irritablebowelsyndrome #hydrochloricacid #stomach #stomachacid #lowstomachacid #bloating #gas #ontario #ontarionaturopath #ottawa #ottcity #ottawanaturopath #embrun #embrunnaturopath https://www.instagram.com/p/B-xQk98DX86/?igshid=1xgvgqbtf9bn7

Posted @withregram • @dr.ashleykowalskind Lower abdominal cramps that suddenly make you cringe; you realize you need to go for a #2 to help alleviate the pain! 🚽😖 Does this sound like you?👇🏻 . . . It could be #IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Perhaps you’ve already been diagnosed with it or know someone who has been. If you are constipated, have diarrhea, or a mix of both, then you could fit this “category”. 💩 . . . The main problem with an IBS diagnosis is: the underlying cause has not been discovered/addressed - you’ve simply been labelled. Here is where I’d like to help you - especially if you’ve had imaging/testing done, been diagnosed or think you may have IBS, and haven’t gotten the results you’ve been looking for. 👩‍⚕️ . . . I’m accepting new patients VIRTUALLY via telemedicine during the #covid_19 pandemic. I hope you find it comforting to know that you can still seek help and guidance amongst the chaos - in ways that do not require you to leave your home! 🏡 Email me: [email protected] to find out how or for more info. . . . #ottawa #ottcity #ottawanaturopath #embrun #embrunnaturopath #russell #russellnaturopath #naturalmedicine #irritablebowelsyndrome #naturopath #constipationrelief #diarrhea #diarrheasucks #constipation #cramps #stomachcramps #telemedicine #virtualcare https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Fv2i6hpv4/?igshid=30pztcasimjb

Posted @withregram • @dr.ashleykowalskind ✨ Did you know that oh-so-terrible feeling of having to run to the washroom multiple times per day could be due to a bacterial overgrowth in the WRONG area of your gut? 👇🏻 . . . Looser stools and/or diarrhea 💩 could signify an overgrowth of hydrogen bacteria in your small intestine, where the bacteria shouldn’t be... 🦠 If you’ve been diagnosed with IBS or have bowel problems - reach out and I’d be happy to help. Naturopathic Doctors offer testing - and treatment - for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). 👩‍⚕️ . . .

Posted @withregram • @dr.ashleykowalskind 💫 FACT: Most people have food sensitivities.🍦You may notice gas, stomach cramping, looser stools, fatigue, headaches, and/or brain fog when you include these foods in your diet! 🙋🏻‍♀️ . . . Did you know you can determine which foods you’re sensitive to by means of a blood test? 👩‍⚕️ Message me for more info! . . . #food #foodsensitivities #dairy #wheat #gluten #gas #bloat #byebloat #bloating #diarrhea #headache #fatigue #energy #lowenergy #brainfog #focus #concentration #memory #ottawa #ontario #ontariodoctor #telemedicine #ottcity #embrun #embrunon #embrunnaturopath #russell #russellon https://www.instagram.com/p/CBoXuLXD4vp/?igshid=1iv3fhqcym8ne
