Natural Relief for Chronic Bloating and Irregular Digestion

If you feel bloated after meals, struggle with unpredictable bowel movements, or have been told your tests are “normal” but you still don’t feel normal — you’re not alone.

Many people in Beaverton living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) experience daily discomfort, embarrassment, and frustration. Symptoms may include:

  • Chronic bloating
  • Alternating constipation and diarrhea
  • Urgency or incomplete bowel movements
  • Abdominal cramping
  • Stress-triggered digestive flares

IBS often becomes a long-term pattern. While medications may reduce symptoms temporarily, many patients continue to experience irregular digestion and recurring flares.

Our focus is restoring digestive rhythm — not just suppressing symptoms.

Why IBS Becomes Chronic

IBS is closely connected to the gut–brain axis. Stress, nervous system imbalance, and long-standing digestive dysfunction can disrupt normal motility and sensitivity in the intestines.

When the nervous system remains in a stress-dominant state, digestion becomes inconsistent. This can lead to:

  • Slowed motility (IBS-C)
  • Overactive motility (IBS-D)
  • Alternating patterns
  • Persistent bloating and discomfort

Restoring balance requires regulating both digestion and the nervous system together.

How Acupuncture Supports IBS

Gentle acupuncture helps regulate the autonomic nervous system and improve digestive coordination. Treatment focuses on:

  • Reducing bloating
  • Improving bowel regularity
  • Calming stress-related flares
  • Supporting more predictable digestion

Many patients begin noticing reduced bloating and improved regularity within several visits. Because IBS is often a chronic condition, sustained improvement typically requires consistent care over time.

The goal is not overnight change — it is steady, meaningful improvement and stabilization.

What to Expect

Initial care is typically once or twice per week, depending on severity. We reassess progress after 6–8 visits to evaluate changes in:

  • Bloating intensity
  • Frequency of bowel movements
  • Urgency
  • Overall digestive comfort

As digestion stabilizes, visits may be spaced further apart.
