Digestive Health
A healthy gut is the foundation for whole-body well-being.
Digestive symptoms are common—but that doesn’t make them normal. If you're experiencing persistent bloating, irregular bowel movements, discomfort after meals, or food sensitivities that seem to worsen over time, your body is asking for deeper support.
At Beam Health, we offer comprehensive naturopathic care for a wide range of gut-related concerns. We use a systems-based approach that investigates not only what’s happening in your digestive tract, but also how your nervous system, hormones, immune system, and lifestyle contribute to gut function.
When your GI tract is working well, so much else flows more smoothly: energy, mood, immunity, hormonal balance, skin.
If you're suffering from bloating, gas, irregularity, pain or other symptoms, Beam Health offers integrative support to help you feel lighter, more comfortable, and more in tune with your body again.

Bloating, gas, distension
Irregular bowel movements (constipation, diarrhea, alternating)
Acid reflux / heartburn / indigestion
Food sensitivities, intolerances or allergies
Abdominal pain, cramps, or discomfort
SIBO / dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria)
Leaky gut / increased intestinal permeability
Low energy, mood disturbances & immune challenges tied to gut health

Testing & Assessment for Digestive Issues
Testing allows us to tailor treatment and avoid unnecessary restriction or trial-and-error. At Beam Health in Kelowna, our naturopathic testing for digestive issues is dependent on your symptoms and history.
Testing may include:
GI stool analysis to assess microbiome, inflammation, digestion, and pathogens
SIBO breath testing
Food sensitivity testing or guided elimination trials
Bloodwork to evaluate nutrient status, thyroid health, and inflammatory markers
Beam Health’s Integrative Approach to Gut Health
We assess, treat, and support the digestive system in a personalized way — finding root causes, healing damage, restoring function.
Your care plan is developed based on clinical findings, lab data (if available), and your goals. It may include:
Therapeutic nutrition to reduce inflammation and support digestion
Digestive enzyme support and bitters for upper GI function
Herbal antimicrobials for SIBO, candida, or dysbiosis
Targeted probiotics and gut-healing nutrients (e.g., L-glutamine, zinc carnosine)
Nervous system regulation to support gut-brain communication
Support for motility and regular bowel movements
Reintroduction strategies to support food tolerance and long-term success
We focus on restoring gut function sustainably—not on long-term restriction.
