Gut & Microbiome Health

When Your Gut’s Not Right, Nothing Feels Right

Bloating. Brain fog. Food sensitivities. Mood swings. Skin issues. When your gut is off, the rest of you often is too.  At Integrative Health Clinic, we specialise in getting to the root of digestive and microbiome imbalances—so you can stop guessing and start feeling better.

Common Gut-Related Issues We See

If you’ve been told “everything looks normal,” but nothing feels normal—this is the next step.

• Bloating or abdominal discomfort 
• Constipation, diarrhoea, or mixed bowel habits 
• Reflux, nausea, poor appetite   
• Food sensitivities or FODMAP intolerance  
• Fatigue, irritability, or brain fog
• Skin issues (eczema, acne, rashes)  
• Immune flares or chronic illness

What Might Be Driving It

Gut symptoms rarely stand alone. They’re often connected to hormonal, immune, and mental health.  We investigate underlying causes like:

• Immune dysregulation, especially Mast cell activation syndrome, Coeliac disease, and IgA deficiency
• Microbiome imbalance or low diversity  
• SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) 
• Leaky gut and intestinal permeability   
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease, like colitis or Crohn’s 
• Fatty liver disease 
• H pylori, parasites, candida, or viral infections  
• Poor stomach acid or enzyme function 
• Nervous system stress impacting digestion

Testing That Brings Clarity

We use advanced testing to get a full picture:

• Questionnaires to detect Mast cell activation as a root cause
• Comprehensive GUT microbiome analysis (Shotgun method)
• SIBO breath testing
• Calprotectin ( inflammation)   
• H. pylori, enzymes, and digestive function markers
• Intestinal Permeability and Zonulin (gut integrity)
• Food sensitivity and immune reactivity panels
• Organic acids and microbial byproducts
• Referrals for scanning or specialist colonoscopy, gastroscopy etc 

What Your Plan May Include

• Targeted antimicrobial or gut-healing protocols (herbal or pharmaceutical)
• Personalised nutrition plans (e.g. low-FODMAP, low histamine) 
• Diet strategies to optimise the microbiome 
• Probiotics, prebiotics, Prokinetics and digestive support  
• Nervous system regulation (to calm the gut-brain axis)  
• Reintroduction guidance for long-term resilience
• Prescription of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and herbal preparations. 
• Prescription of  targeted nutraceuticals and herbal preparations
• Referrals to specialists, allied health professionals- physio, osteopath, chiropractor, acupuncturist, etc 

We Treat the Gut, but Support the Whole You

Fatigue, stress, sexual health, mental load—we know these aren’t always easy to talk about. We create space for honest conversations, without judgment or pressure.  If you’ve been feeling off but can’t explain why, or you’re ready to feel strong and sharp again—this is the right place to start.
