A good gastrointestinal doctor may be needed to perform procedures such as a colonoscopy or an esophagogastrodudenoscopy (EGD). These will help visualize the GI tract and diagnose a problem.

I use gastrointestinal doctors all the time for this purpose.

But my experience has shown that most (nearly all) GI doctors have no knowledge about leaky gut syndrome, and will often prescribe long-term, toxic drug therapies that do not treat the underlying cause of a patient’s GI problem.

Most GI doctors have zero knowledge about the holistic principles I’ve outlined in my books.

For this type of care you will need to work with a holistic healthcare provider who is knowledgeable about food allergies, bioidentical hormones, and nutrient therapy.

You can find such a practitioner by going to the International College of Integrative Medicine website (ICIMed.com).
