No one has to accept bloating, cramping, urgency or pain as 'normal'.
When clinical pharmacist Izabella Wentz was first diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, she was told her digestion was simply 'overly sensitive'. For years, she assumed everyone's stomach hurt after eating. Like many people, she tried to live with the discomfort, until she discovered there were real, reasons for her symptoms that could be treated.
In this ground-breaking guide, Dr Wentz shares her signature Root Cause approach to unravelling the mystery of IBS. While conventional medicine may label symptoms as 'IBS' and prescribe medication, Wentz reveals how this diagnosis is often a catch-all term that overlooks underlying imbalances that can be identified, addressed and resolved. For some, the root cause may be an enzyme deficiency. For others, it may be toxic exposures, bacterial overgrowth, food sensitivities, hidden infections and other rarely investigated causes. In this comprehensive and compassionate book, you'll learn how to uncover the true source of your symptoms and create a personalised healing plan to restore your gut and your life.
Inside, you'll discover how to:
-Understand what normal digestion really looks like
-Identify potential root causes behind IBS symptoms
-Explore testing options-from gluten intolerance and SIBO to enzyme function and triggering infections
-Remove reactive foods and triggers with targeted nutrition strategies
-Restore microbial balance
-Rebuild digestive function with tailored supplements and lifestyle shifts
-Manage symptoms gently while you work toward lasting healing
Whether you've been struggling with IBS for years or were just diagnosed, this is your invitation to dig deeper, heal smarter and reclaim your energy, confidence, and well-being.
