Start with the digestive concerns affecting your day
Tell us what happens, when it happens, and how it changes your eating or everyday activities. A history of bloating after meals, ongoing constipation, or recurring diarrhea is more useful than trying to choose a diagnosis before your visit.
Our digestive care includes support for food sensitivities, bowel concerns, microbial imbalances, and questions about SIBO or parasites. Existing diagnoses and previous test results belong in that conversation, too.
- Bloating, gas, cramping, or discomfort around meals
- Constipation, diarrhea, or a change in your usual bowel habits
- Food-related symptoms or difficulty finding meals that work for you
- Questions about an existing digestive diagnosis or previous treatment
Choose testing around a question that matters
Testing should help inform a decision about your care. Testing options include functional stool analysis, SIBO breath testing, organic acid testing, and food-related testing. Which, if any, is appropriate depends on your history and the question being considered.
Before agreeing to a test, ask what it measures, what its limitations are, who will interpret it, and how the result could change your plan. Bring previous reports so you can discuss what has already been investigated.
Build a nutrition plan around your needs
Personalized holistic nutrition is a central part of Sante’s digestive approach. The clinic describes approaches such as food trials, elimination diets, low-FODMAP guidance, and other nutrition changes selected for the individual. These are options to discuss, rather than a single diet everyone must follow.
A useful plan makes clear what you are changing, why you are changing it, and when you will review the result. Tell the team about your food preferences, budget, cooking routine, and any restrictions you already follow.
Understand how the available services fit together
Depending on the individual, your gut health plan may include practitioner-selected nutritional or herbal products, stress and lifestyle support, and a discussion of other clinic services. Share your medications and supplements before adding anything new.
The clinic also offers colon hydrotherapy and IV nutrient services. They are separate decisions that need their own discussion of suitability, expected benefits, limitations, and cost. A gut health concern does not automatically mean either procedure is appropriate.
Make the first conversation useful
Our Hampton clinic is located at 861 Lafayette Road, Suite 3. Start with a free 15-minute introductory consultation to ask about the practice and the next steps for arranging care. Your clinical evaluation and any testing are separate from that introductory call.
Bring a short symptom timeline, your medication and supplement list, relevant test reports, and the questions you most want answered. Continue care with your primary care provider and any treating digestive specialist. New or severe symptoms deserve medical evaluation rather than waiting for a wellness appointment.
Your questions, answered
What does gut health treatment at Sante involve?
The starting point is your history and current concerns. Care may include individualized testing, nutrition guidance, and a discussion of suitable supportive services. Your plan should explain what each step is intended to address and how it will be reviewed.
Do all patients need a stool test or SIBO test?
No single test is a starting point for everyone. Ask which clinical question a proposed test addresses, what it can and cannot show, and whether the result would change your care.
Can I bring an IBS, SIBO, or inflammatory bowel disease diagnosis?
Yes. Bring the diagnosis, previous test results, and your current treatment plan so the team can discuss your nutrition and care questions in context. Complementary support does not replace your primary care or specialist treatment.
Can I discuss parasite concerns during a gut health visit?
Yes. Describe any relevant travel, exposure concerns, symptoms, and prior testing. Symptoms alone cannot identify a parasite; appropriate evaluation and treatment depend on the situation.
How do I find out the cost?
Ask the office about the current evaluation and follow-up fees, proposed lab charges, and the cost of any additional services before proceeding. Confirm any insurance arrangements directly rather than assuming every part of a plan is covered.
