Gastrointestinal conditions

Gastrointestinal complaints can be complex and confounding to patients.  Many people seem to slip through the cracks when it comes to chronic conditions like “irritable bowel syndrome,” which has become a “catch all” diagnosis for a variety of symptoms that sometimes western medicine just can’t seem to help completely.  At the Wege institute in Saint Mary’s Hospital we have found that a complimentary approach to gastrointestinal disease works the best.  Often our patients report immediate improvement and require fewer medications for their conditions.  Through nutritional counseling, healthy lifestyle changes, acupuncture and Chinese herbal therapy our patients experience true healing.
