Digestive Health Treatment In Portland, Oregon

Expert Digestive Health Support

Digestive disorders can significantly impact your quality of life, contributing to daily discomfort, irregular bowel function, and long-term health concerns. These conditions affect various parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and are commonly driven by complex, overlapping factors such as chronic inflammation, bacterial imbalance (dysbiosis), and immune dysfunction—often seen in autoimmune conditions like Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

At Restorative Health Clinic in Portland, OR, we take a comprehensive, integrative approach to digestive health. Using advanced diagnostic tools and personalized, root-cause treatment protocols, we help patients address gut imbalances, reduce inflammation, and restore lasting digestive function.

Understanding Your Digestive Symptoms

Digestive symptoms affect various parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and are commonly driven by:

• Chronic inflammation – Damages the intestinal lining and impairs absorption

• Bacterial imbalance (dysbiosis) – Causes bloating, gas, constipation, and diarrhea

• Immune dysfunction – Seen in autoimmune GI conditions such as Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis

These factors often interact, creating persistent symptoms that require a personalized, multi-layered approach to healing.

Still Searching for Answers? We use Advanced Tools to Decode Your GI Symptoms

Our Testing Includes:

• Advanced Parasite Testing: Detects hidden parasitic infections contributing to GI symptoms, fatigue, and inflammation.

• Dysbiosis Testing: Identifies bacterial and fungal overgrowth or imbalances disrupting gut health and digestion.
• Microbiome Mapping: Evaluates gut flora diversity and function to guide personalized treatment for chronic GI and immune conditions.

These tests allow us to develop targeted, personalized treatment plans to address your unique needs and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Common Digestive Orders We Treat

1. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

SIBO occurs when excess bacteria accumulate in the small intestine, leading to:

• Bloating and abdominal distension

• Gas and discomfort

• Diarrhea, constipation, or alternating patterns

Often linked to IBS, impaired gut motility, or previous infections, SIBO requires targeted antimicrobial support and motility restoration.

2. Crohn’s Disease

This inflammatory bowel disease affects the full thickness of the GI tract and may cause:

• Chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain

• Weight loss and nutrient malabsorption

• Fatigue and immune dysregulation

3. Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative Colitis targets the colon and rectum, causing:

• Bloody stools or mucus

• Frequent abdominal cramping

• Weight loss and urgency

4. Chronic Diarrhea & Constipation

These symptoms may reflect underlying infections, food sensitivities, or gut-brain dysfunction:

• Diarrhea – Frequent, loose stools linked to pathogens or IBD
