Gut Health, Bloating and IBS Support in Coral Springs
A lot of our gut health patients in Coral Springs have already done the hard part. They have seen a gastroenterologist, had a scope or two, tried a few prescriptions, and heard that nothing serious is wrong. That is good news, but it does not explain why they are bloated by 2 p.m. every day.
Symptoms we commonly help with
- Bloating and gas, especially after meals.
- IBS patterns: constipation, loose stools, or alternating between both.
- Reflux and heartburn that keeps coming back.
- Food reactions that seem to change from week to week.
- Fatigue and brain fog that track with digestive flare ups.
Our approach
Dr. Jonathan M. Fields, DAOM, combines three tools at our office at 811 North Coral Ridge Drive:
1. Functional medicine. A detailed food, stress and history review, and where useful, lab testing ordered or reviewed with you, to look for patterns your earlier workup may not have covered.
2. Acupuncture. Many patients notice that digestion settles as the nervous system calms, which is why gut and stress plans often overlap.
3. Chinese herbal medicine. Formulas chosen for your specific pattern, checked against your medications.
We keep diet changes realistic. Coral Springs is full of good restaurants and busy families; a plan you cannot follow on a Tuesday night is not a plan.
When to see your doctor first
Rectal bleeding, losing weight without trying, food sticking when you swallow, or pain that wakes you from sleep need a physician's evaluation before anything else.
The gut and stress connection
