What is a Transaction?

Nutrition in gastrointestinal disorders encompasses nutrition programs designed to manage digestive disorders (e.g. irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), Crohn’s disease) and alleviate symptoms. These programs are tailored to improve digestive function and enhance the patient’s quality of life.

How is it done?

In our clinic in Çiğli, Izmir, personalized nutrition programs are created for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Special diets are prepared by our dietitians taking into account the patient’s health status, symptoms and medical history. Methods such as a low FODMAP diet (a diet that limits fermentable carbohydrates), gluten-free diet or probiotic and prebiotic-supported programs can be used. The aim is to reduce the burden on the digestive system, control symptoms and improve the overall health of the patient.

What are the Symptoms?

Symptoms that can be seen in gastrointestinal diseases:

• Abdominal pain and cramps: This is a common symptom of digestive system diseases.
• Bloating and gas: It occurs as a result of irregularities in the digestive process.
• Diarrhea or constipation: It develops due to changes in bowel movements.
• Fatigue: Impaired absorption of nutrients and a constant feeling of discomfort can lead to fatigue.
• Food Intolerances: Sensitivity to certain food groups may occur.

What are the Treatment Methods?
