Digestive Health Services in Victoria, BC

Digestive health plays an important role in overall wellness. Concerns such as bloating, abdominal discomfort, irregular bowel movements, or changes in digestion can have many possible causes. At the Vancouver Island Naturopathic Clinic, our Naturopathic Doctors will work with you to provide assessments to help explore potential causes, digestive system imbalances, food intolerances, and related factors.

Comprehensive Digestive Assessments

Our naturopathic doctors use a combination of:

• Detailed health history review

• Physical examination

• Dietary and symptom analysis

• Laboratory testing, when appropriate

The goal is to help you better understand your digestive function and work with you to explore strategies that may support your comfort and quality of life.

Food Sensitivity & Intolerance Testing

Some digestive concerns may be related to food sensitivities or intolerances, which are different from true food allergies. We can assess for these through symptom review, diet analysis, and targeted testing if indicated. If you are interested in environmental allergy testing, please visit our Allergy & Sensitivity Assessments page for more information.

Common Areas of Assessment

Our digestive health evaluations may explore:

• Digestive conditions

• Possible malabsorption issues

• Dyspepsia (indigestion)

• Helicobacter pylori or other gut microbiome imbalance

• Food intolerance or sensitivity

• Maldigestion

When to See Your Primary Care Provider

If you have acute or concerning symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, persistent vomiting, or blood in the stool, please consult your general practitioner promptly for further evaluation. If acute or urgent attend the ER or urgent care centre.
