Gastrointestinal Support

A healthy gut is the foundation of a thriving life — and we're here to help you build it.

Your gut is far more than a digestive organ — it is the seat of your immunity, a key regulator of your mood, and the foundation upon which your energy, skin, and hormonal health are built. When your gut is struggling, you feel it everywhere.

Whether you've been living with the discomfort of bloating for years, navigating the unpredictability of IBS, or searching for answers after a frustrating journey with conventional medicine, Arabella offers a compassionate, thorough and evidence-informed approach to restore harmony to your digestive system.

Our Approach

At Balance By Bell, we don't treat symptoms in isolation. We investigate the root cause of your digestive concerns by looking at the whole picture — your diet, your stress levels, your microbiome, your history, and your lifestyle — and then create a targeted, multi-faceted treatment plan designed around you.

Functional Testing

For gut health, functional testing can be genuinely transformative in pinpointing the underlying cause of your symptoms:

  • Gut microbiome mapping — comprehensive stool analysis assessing microbial diversity, pathogen presence, digestive markers and intestinal health

  • SIBO breath testing — identifying bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine

  • Intestinal permeability testing

  • Vaginal microbiome mapping — for clients where vaginal health and gut health are interconnected

  • Food sensitivity panels

  • Comprehensive blood panels including inflammatory markers, nutritional status and liver function

  • Gut repair protocols — L-glutamine, zinc carnosine, collagen and gut-lining support

  • Therapeutic dietary guidance — low-FODMAP, anti-inflammatory and gut-supportive nutritional plans
