In this webinar Ben Brown ND goes through; significant shortcomings in the diagnosis and treatment of functional gastrointestinal diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia (FD) arise from them being ‘umbrella’ diagnosis that cluster several underlying identifiable and treatable causes for the same symptom presentation into one classification.

Emerging evidence suggests that common digestive symptoms – including bloating, distention, reflux, pain, discomfort, constipation and diarrhea – are frequently due to identifiable and treatable underlying causes including lifestyle, environmental and nutritional factors, as well as underlying functional imbalances.

This talk explores how to the identify of the underlying causes of functional gastrointestinal disease and help personalize clinical management.
