IBS Treatment in Greenville, SC
IBS Treatment at IHP Greenville — authentic TCM, in-house herbal pharmacy. Dr. Hendry, DAOM, 25+ yrs experience. Call (864) 365-6156.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — characterized by recurrent abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits (diarrhea-predominant, constipation-predominant, or mixed) — affects an estimated 45 million Americans and is among the most undertreated functional gastrointestinal disorders. Conventional management focuses on symptom suppression with antispasmodics, antidiarrheals, or laxatives. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry treats IBS at its root — addressing gut dysbiosis, visceral hypersensitivity, gut-brain axis dysregulation, and the dietary triggers that most IBS sufferers haven't been helped to identify.
How IBS Treatment Works
IBS treatment at IHP combines acupuncture (for gut motility regulation, visceral pain modulation, and autonomic nervous system balance), Chinese herbal medicine (classical formulas for IBS patterns), functional medicine testing (stool microbiome, SIBO breath test, food sensitivity panel, inflammatory markers), and specific dietary guidance (low-FODMAP diet implementation, elimination protocol, probiotic selection). Treatment is comprehensive and addresses the multiple overlapping factors driving most IBS cases.
Conditions Treated with IBS Treatment
Your First Appointment
Bring a detailed food-symptom diary if possible. Describe your bowel pattern clearly — IBS-D (diarrhea predominant), IBS-C (constipation predominant), or IBS-M (mixed). Prior colonoscopy or endoscopy results, breath test results, and prior dietary interventions (gluten-free, dairy-free) are relevant.
Why Dr. Hendry for IBS Treatment
Dr. Hendry's integrated approach to IBS — combining Chinese medicine gut pattern differentiation, functional stool testing, dietary protocol, and targeted supplementation — produces outcomes that purely symptomatic conventional management cannot match.
