IBS Support (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

IBS is one of the most common digestive conditions, affecting up to 15% of adults. It involves recurring abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits without visible damage to the digestive tract. The gut-brain connection plays a huge role: stress can trigger flares, and gut symptoms can worsen stress, creating a frustrating cycle.

  • Peppermint Oil (enteric-coated) (Integrative Therapeutics, ~$25) — One of the best-studied natural IBS treatments. Relaxes smooth muscle in your intestinal wall, reducing spasms and cramping. The enteric coating ensures it reaches your intestines where it's needed.
  • Probiotic (Pure Encapsulations, ~$35) — IBS often involves gut bacteria imbalance. Specific strains are clinically shown to reduce bloating, gas, and abdominal pain. Dr. Kendra selects strains with the strongest clinical evidence.
  • L-Glutamine (Pure Encapsulations, ~$25) — The primary fuel source for cells lining your intestines. Helps repair and maintain the intestinal barrier, reducing inflammation and sensitivity.
  • Digestive Enzymes (Pure Encapsulations / Integrative Therapeutics, ~$30) — Helps your body digest proteins, fats, and carbohydrates more completely, so less undigested food reaches your lower gut to cause bloating and gas.
  • Psyllium Fiber (Organic India, ~$18) — Soluble fiber normalizes bowel function in both directions — adds bulk when loose, softens when constipated. Start slowly and increase gradually.

Estimated monthly cost: ~$133 (before your 10% Fullscript discount)

Functional Dyspepsia Support

Functional dyspepsia is persistent upper abdominal discomfort — pain, burning, fullness, or nausea after eating — when tests come back normal. The issue usually involves impaired stomach motility, heightened nerve sensitivity, and sometimes low-grade inflammation.

  • GI Motility Complex (Integrative Therapeutics, ~$30) — Contains prokinetic herbs like artichoke extract and ginger that help your stomach contract and empty more efficiently.
  • Digestive Enzymes (Pure Encapsulations, ~$30) — Enzymes break food down more quickly, reducing the workload on your digestive system and decreasing post-meal discomfort.
  • Probiotic (Pure Encapsulations, ~$35) — Restores microbial balance and reduces immune activation that makes your stomach nerves more sensitive.
  • DGL Licorice (Integrative Therapeutics, ~$15) — Deglycyrrhizinated licorice stimulates protective mucus production, coating and soothing irritated stomach lining. Safe for regular use (blood-pressure-raising compound removed).
  • Ginger Extract (Pure Encapsulations / Integrative Therapeutics, ~$20) — Speeds up gastric emptying, reduces nausea, and has anti-inflammatory GI properties. Take 20–30 minutes before meals.

Estimated monthly cost: ~$130 (before your 10% Fullscript discount)
