Digestion & Gut Health

Support for patients dealing with bloating, reflux, bowel changes, food reactions, discomfort or digestive symptoms that affect confidence and daily life.

Overview

A whole-person way to understand your symptoms.

Digestive symptoms can fluctuate with stress, hormones, sleep, travel, meals, medications and menstrual cycles. It can be hard to know whether food, motility, inflammation, nutrient status or nervous system stress is most relevant.

Dr. Zorn helps patients organize the details, identify red flags that need medical assessment and create a practical digestive plan.

This may be a fit if

You are looking for clarity, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Every patient’s story is different. These are common reasons people book this type of appointment.

  • Bloating, reflux, nausea, constipation, diarrhea or discomfort affects your routine.
  • You suspect food reactions but feel unsure about what to remove or reintroduce.
  • Digestive symptoms change around your period, stress load or sleep disruption.
  • You feel tired, foggy or depleted and wonder whether nutrient status is involved.
  • You want a structured plan instead of guessing with diets and supplements.

Assessment

What Dr. Zorn may consider.

The assessment is tailored to your symptoms, goals and safety needs. Bring current medications, supplements and recent labs.

Consideration 1

Symptom timing, stool patterns, reflux triggers, meal patterns, hydration and fibre.

Consideration 2

Stress, sleep, menstrual cycle timing, medications, antibiotic history and travel history.

Consideration 3

Labs and medical assessment such as celiac screening, iron, B12, thyroid or other testing when appropriate.

Consideration 4

Red flags such as unexplained weight loss, blood in stool, persistent vomiting or severe pain.

Care plan

What support may include.

Your plan is individualized and adjusted over time. Recommendations depend on what is clinically appropriate and what feels possible for you.

  • Food and symptom tracking that avoids unnecessary restriction.
  • Nutrition strategies to support comfort, regularity, blood sugar and nutrient intake.
  • Supplement or botanical options when appropriate.
  • Stress-digestion and nervous system support.
  • Referral or collaboration when symptoms need medical investigation.

Common questions

Before you book.

Will I have to follow a strict diet?

Not necessarily. Restrictive diets are not always the best first step.

Can I bring previous tests?

Yes. Bring bloodwork, imaging, stool testing or specialist reports.

When are digestive symptoms urgent?

Seek urgent care for severe abdominal pain, blood in stool, persistent vomiting, fainting or dehydration.
