Treating Babies with Colic

ColicBaby

Mothers know how helplessly frustrating a colicky baby can be: The relentless crying that can’t seem to be remedied. Babies have brand new gastrointestinal systems, and with that come new difficult tasks for the new body. Babies with colic are often suffering from Infant Acid Reflux, painful gas and indigestion, constipation, or food sensitivities. While symptoms can be difficult to peg, babies with colic tend to have abrupt episodes of crying or wailing lasting more than 3 hours at a time, multiple times a week for several weeks.

With colicky babies, irritated nerves cause disturbances to the intestines, stomach, and other gastrointestinal organs leading to a build up of gas in the intestines. Chiropractic adjustments help restore communication and function of those nerves while eliminating pain from irritated nerves.

I specialize in using Light Force Technique adjustments and Activator Method to relieve colic in infants. If you think your baby is suffering from colic, call our clinic in Tustin @ 714 730 2225 to see how we can help.

Can Digestive Problems Lead to Disease

Leaky-Gut-Syndrome (1) What is Leaky Gut Syndrome?

 Disruption of the gut lining can be caused by food intolerance, alcohol, stress, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, candida, fatty acid deficiencies which lead to disruption of  the gut wall.  The disruption of the gut lining leads to improper absorption. Food is seen as an invader causing antibodies to be produced, inflaming the gut wall. Multiple food intolerances cause these antibodies. These antibodies form a complex with food, then are deposited in gut tissue which lead to gut inflammation.

An inflamed gut causes nutrients and waste to leak from the gut and worsens improper absorption and more antibodies are produced leading to leaky gut syndrome.

Signs of leaky gut syndrome include digestive issues like bloating, gas, diarrhea, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).  Seasonal allergies or asthma can also be a sign. If you have hormonal imbalances like polycystic ovary disease or PMS, an autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, celiac disease, psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis, or if you have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or candida, these are all indicators that you may be suffering from leaky gut syndrome.

The solution to repairing your gut is to have a clean way of eating. You want to focus on an anti-inflammatory diet. Simply put, your diet should consist of protein, vegetables, and a little bit of fruit. You should avoid grains, dairy, prepared and processed food products, as well as meats with antibiotics or hormones. There are other foods that may need to be avoided as well depending on one’s health history. There are certain supplements and vitamins that can help speed up the repair of the gut wall.

At Voitenko Wellness we do a through consultation and examination to help create a plan of attack. The goal is to create optimum health to help bring back quality of life.

Is it Really Possible to Balance Hormones Naturally?

Natural Hormone Balancing in Women

Did you know that PMS, blood sugar levels and estrogen dominance all have similar symptoms? Estrogen dominance is when the body has excess estrogen and is unopposed or not balanced by progesterone. This syndrome occurs due to specific situations, such as hormone replacement therapy, exposure to xenoestrogens, birth control pills, and hysterectomies.  Xenoestrogens are found in skin care, food, insecticides, and building supplies.

According to Dr. John Lee , M.D. he feels that, “estrogen dominance is a huge factor in conditions such as, uterine fibroids, breast/uterine cancer, premenopausal bone loss, PMS and Fibrocystic breasts.”

Here is a list of symptoms that can be caused or made worse by estrogen dominance:

Headaches, fatigue, irritability, mood swings, insomnia, infertility, allergies, autoimmune disorders, osteoporosis, and PMS

Diet plays a role in estrogen dominance. Looking closely at what foods are being eaten and the quantity is very important for the balancing of a women’s  hormones.

How do you know if you are sensitive to gluten?

Is a gluten-free diet for Me?

wheat-995055_1280

In today’s world ‘gluten-free’ is a popular buzzword, and becoming a trendy lifestyle–but how do you determine if this lifestyle is one that you should practice?

Do you suffer from bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or abdominal pain?

If so, you might be experiencing gluten intolerance. There are specific tests that can be done to identify if you are gluten intolerant.

Several studies show that salivary IgA Antigliadin and anti-transglutaminase Antibodies could predict forthcoming gluten sensitivity and Celiac disease.

Leaky Gut, for example, is an autoimmune disease and the third leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the Industrialized world, and is 10 times more common in those with Celiac disease than in the general population. Thus, the burden on society from gluten sensitivity cannot be overestimated. Early identification might result in early treatment, a better quality of life, and an improved prognosis for you.

At Voitenko Wellness we specialize in digestive disorders and we would like to help you identify what may be causing your digestive problems.

What is Leaky Gut Syndrome?

Understanding Leaky Gut Syndrome, the Causes and What You Can Do To Avoid It

The symptoms of Leaky Gut Syndrome are common but they are NOT normal. They may include bloating, gas, cramping, food sensitivities and aches and pains. What is causing this to happen? Your intestinal lining may be in need of repair and detox. When the intestine is not healthy the junctions between cells are compromised and toxins, bacteria and other pathogens can escape into your system, you are unable to digest food properly which leads to malnutrition and your immune system is compromised.

Do you have these symptoms or have you already been told you have Leaky Gut Syndrome? There is a strong correlation with Leaky Gut Syndrome and food allergies and intolerance, the most common being Gluten Intolerance or Celiac Disease. Removing Gluten from your diet may be the answer to starting your way back to health in your gut and overall wellness.
