There are millions of Americans today who experience conditions such as lactose intolerance, heartburn, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and colitis, among others.
It's possible that you or someone you know takes medications like Prilosec (Omeprazole), Prevacid (Lansoprazole), Nexium (Esomeprazole), Protonix, Tums, Rolaids, or laxatives on a daily basis. These medications aim to reduce the amount of acid produced in your body to alleviate your symptoms. The underlying problem is that excessive acid production might not be the cause of your stomach ailments!
What's even more surprising is that recent research conducted over the past 5+ years has found a significant association between digestive disorders and various other symptoms beyond the obvious stomach-related issues. These digestive disorders have been linked to conditions such as osteoporosis, anxiety, obesity, depression, lethargy, insomnia, brain fog, hormonal imbalances, and many more.
So why are so many Americans suffering from digestive disorders and how can you properly diagnose and fix it? Haute MD experts at Apprize Medical dive into the intricacies, investigating potential underlying causes and formulating tailored treatment plans to provide optimal care.
How to Diagnose Stomach Ailments
At Apprize Medical, we have developed a distinctive approach to diagnosing and resolving digestive disorders. Our methodology involves conducting a diagnostic urine analysis that measures enzyme deficiencies, identifies food intolerance, and checks for pathogens, yeast, candida, and indican, which all can be harmful to your microbiome and overall health. Additionally, we offer intracellular nutrition testing and comprehensive hormone analysis, enabling us to accurately diagnose nutrient deficiencies and hormonal imbalances.

How to Treat Stomach Ailments
Upon the results, we develop a personalized program that prioritizes the imbalances and ultimately enhances our client’s health, empowering them to enjoy a higher quality of life. We also design personalized dies tailored to each patient's specific needs and data, recognizing that individuals respond differently to various dietary approaches. While some people may flourish on a high-fat diet, others following the same regimen may experience an increased risk of heart disease. Unlike generic diets designed for the masses, our approach focuses on the individual needs of each patient, emphasizing personalized care over mass treatment.
Many individuals are unaware that the true definition of nutrition extends beyond simply consuming food; it encompasses the intricate processes of digestion, absorption, utilization, and excretion that occur within the body. While 'you are what you eat' holds some truth, it is only a partial understanding. We falsely assume that by consuming healthy food, our body has everything it needs to extract and utilize the nutrients present in that food. Even if we consume ample amounts of certain nutrients, such as protein or essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D, our bodies may struggle to digest, absorb, and utilize them if we are deficient in the necessary enzymes or if our digestive system is compromised.
At Apprize Medical, our solutions revolve around enhancing the digestion and absorption of ingested food. We address nutritional and hormonal deficiencies while aiding in the healing of the digestive tract. Our approach goes beyond managing symptoms; we strive to uncover the underlying root cause of symptoms by focusing on faulty digestion. If you are experiencing any stomach ailments, we encourage you to schedule a consultation today to receive the necessary medical support for optimal health benefits!
