BridgeWell Integrative Education Ā· Clinical Masterclass
The Bloated Patient
An Integrative & Functional Medicine Approach for Primary Care NPs
Discover the clinical reasoning framework that helps integrative clinicians move beyond IBS and think differently about chronic GI symptoms.
Sound familiar?
Your patient has tried probiotics, fiber, elimination diets, and maybe even GI referralā¦ but she is still bloated.
The colonoscopy is normal. Basic labs are normal. She has been told it is probably IBS. But she still does not feel well, and you know there has to be a better way to think through the case.
In this on-demand clinical masterclass, we move beyond symptom-chasing and walk through how an integrative clinician evaluates the bloated patient.
Who this is for
Built for NPs who want to think beyond ājust try a probioticā
