IBS Medications, Medical Foods and FMT

Medical foods are foods which are formulated to be consumed or administered under the supervision of a physician. Fecal Microbiotia Transplant (FMT) has limited positive results

CBT, Hypnotherapy

While you can have traditional Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or Gut Directed Hypnotherapy (GDH) delivered by a Psychologist you can also use new Digital Therapeutics as a treatment option for IBS that provides similar results. Digital Therapeutics have been developed after years of clinical research. Moving to a digital approach allows for greater access to self care and self treatment using an Integrated Model of care.
