What is Intestinal Parasites?
Intestinal parasites are organisms that live in the digestive system that can cause a range of health problems, including gut symptoms and nutrient deficiencies. These parasites can enter your body through contaminated food, water, or even contact with infected surfaces. Common symptoms include bloating, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, and abdominal pain. If left unaddressed, intestinal parasites can lead to more severe gut health issues like leaky gut and chronic digestive disorders.
Our Approach to Intestinal Parasites
At The Functional Gut Health Clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to eradicating intestinal parasites, combining dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted supplements to not only remove the infection but also restore gut health. Here’s how we approach intestinal parasite infections:
Dietary adjustments to starve parasites and reduce inflammation
We focus on cutting off the parasites' food supply, by eliminating foods like sugar and starches from your diet. A Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) or Paleo-style eating plan is often recommended. Inflammatory foods are also removed, while omega-3-rich options like flax seeds and oily fish are introduced alongside plenty of hydration to flush out toxins.Natural herbal antimicrobials and biofilm disruptors
Natural antimicrobial blends are key to eradicating parasites. We include powerful biofilm disruptors to break down the protective layers parasites use to shield themselves, ensuring more effective eradication. This combination is critical for addressing both the parasites and their defense mechanisms.Probiotics and liver support
Rebuilding your gut microbiome is a key part of the process. We use high-quality pre- and probiotics to restore beneficial bacteria, while also supporting the liver and gallbladder, which are vital in flushing out toxins released by dying parasites.Stomach lining and mucosal barrier support
To help heal the gut, we use supplements like glutamine, bovine immunoglobulins and mucosal barrier blended support products. These help repair the gut lining, which can be damaged by parasites, ensuring a smoother recovery process.Die-off and detox support
As parasites die, they release toxins that can trigger unpleasant symptoms. To manage these, we use binders like activated charcoal to help clear toxins from the digestive system and reduce die-off reactions, making the healing process more comfortable.
By following this structured approach, we help clients eradicate parasites, heal the gut, and strengthen their body's natural defenses to prevent future infections.
