Food Sensitivity Testing | | |
We cannot properly digest and assimilate ALL foods that exist.
Undigested food particles cause toxemia.
Health begins and ends with how our gastrointestinal system functions.
I am constantly reminded by my patients how much better they feel since they stopped eating the foods they can't digest. Information about testing. Read about the difference between food allergy and intolerance. |

Thank you for your continued interest in Naturopathic Medicine!
March is National Chronic Fatigue Awareness month. So let's start with one of the most common underlying causes of being chronically fatigued.... Leaky Gut Syndrome. 
Our health truly does begin and end with what we put in our mouths, and how we treat our gastrointestinal tract. Enjoy!
As always, you can contact me directly at www.DrWendyWells.com. If you are wondering what to expect on your first visit, you can find this info on my site. Don't forget to check out the special offer below.

 | What exactly is Leaky Gut?
| 
First symptoms may be gas, bloating, food sensitivities/allergies, stomach cramping after meals, diarrhea, and constipation. Many will go for years with no noticeable symptoms at all. More advanced symptoms are lack of concentration, fatigue, headaches, weak or tight muscles, irritability, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and colitis.
Things that harm the GI tract such as - MOST COMMON CAUSE = NSAIDS (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc) - cause us to NOT make healthy mucus, so destroys our protection, food/acid/enzymes then irritates and causes damage
- Frequent antibiotics - kill our protection (good bacteria)
- Yeast overgrowth - due to taking frequent antibiotics
- Eating foods we can't digest (food intolerance) - cause inflammation
- Drinking alcohol in excess - damage lining
- Poor eating habits - cause inflammation, lack of nutrition = lack of tools for the gut to function normally
Can I test for Leaky Gut? Yes, a stool or urine sample is necessary. The lab results give a complete description of the micro-organisms, the digestion issues, the immune system function. Also, food allergy testing can be used. IMPORTANT POINT: I use food allergy testing (NOT FOOD INTOLERANCE) as a marker. If you have LOTS of food allergies, then your leaky gut is severe. After treatment we test again and see that the food allergies are minimized.
The difference between food intolerance and food allergy
Each individual is unique in how well we digest our food. Based on our genetics, we simply do not have the enzymes to digest certain foods. Celiac's Disease or Lactose intolerance is the classic example. Everyone has some degree of food intolerance. Food intolerance leads to improper digestion which leads to food particles that putrefy in the GI tract and cause toxicity and inflammation. What can I do about it? Here are some ideas! - Get tested for food intolerance and / or stool test
- Establish a healthy diet
- Remove things that are damaging your body
- Feed the body what it needs to heal
- Other ideas - Probiotics daily, herbs such as marshmallow, slippery elm bark can help recreate mucus lining, L-Glutamine is an amino acid that is food for the enterocytes (GI cells)
- Personalized treatment plans available through my office

| Commitment to YOU

I am pleased to be one of the few physicians trained in this method 
of weight loss. ULTRA LITE was developed by a Naturopathic Physician, and teaches you how to eat right...for life.
Medically supervised weight loss has been repeatedly shown in research to be the most productive in terms of number of pounds lost and how long weight loss is sustained.
The hCG weight loss protocol consists of a very low calorie diet accompanied by treatments of hCG, injected. The average hCG dieter experiences rapid weight loss averaging 1 to 3 pounds per day. In addition to loss of unwanted fat, the true benefit of the hCG protocol is its ability to help modify the dieter's relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight loss.
