Success Story! No more gut pain, bloat & constipation.
Tuesday, 25 February, 2025
Send us a textI wanted to share a case study of a 42 year old female who came to us with unrelenting pain and cramping in her intestinal tract. The pain was so terrible she was doubled over from it, and needless to say, was completely miserable.She also suffered from bloating, constipation (which was chronic throughout her life) and was 30 lb overweight. She awakened 3x/night, and had a very stressful job. Her husband had been a patient and he frequently mentioned the need to bring in his wife, so I was very happy to finally meet her.She had access to many doctors and had utilized that ability but still received no answers. Her blood testing from previous doctors showed elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, poor pancreatic function, and low vitamin D. But still she suffered.We started her program and discovered a variety of issues including a food sensitivity, a gut infection, and other imbalanced.By the end of 3 months her symptoms resolved entirely. She no longer had any gut pain or bloat and she was moving her bowels every day. Her sleep had improved also.BUT... she hadn't lost any weight. While she was delighted about her improvement, she wanted to address weight loss as well.Our registered dietitian (RD) met with her and discovered that her macros were imbalanced and she really wasn't consuming enough protein. The RD also addressed stress management as that was driving up her hormone cortisol which is associated with weight gain.Three weeks later she had lost 7 pounds! Now that is a bit more weight than we like to see in that period of time, and it will likely slow down to a more standard rate of 1.5 to 2 pounds per week, but it indicated that we had discovered the reasons underlying her weight gain.These types of case studies and beautiful results are pretty much daily occurrences here at Root Cause. I don't typically share them on this channel so let me know if it's something you like or not.If you need to improve your health, call us for a consultation today! Call 727-335-0400.
