Gut Health Services at Clinic 5C
Digestive issues are some of the most common and frustrating health concerns we see at Clinic 5C Functional Medicine in Spokane.
Bloating, food sensitivities, and irritable bowel symptoms can disrupt daily life and leave you feeling uncomfortable or uncertain about what’s really going on.
At Clinic 5C, we take a different approach. Instead of masking symptoms, we dig deeper to identify what’s driving your gut health challenges and create a plan that supports both immediate relief and long-term healing.
How We Approach Gut Health
Every patient begins with a thorough review of their health story. By looking at your medical history, nutrition, and lifestyle, we can often uncover patterns or triggers that might be impacting your digestion.
From there, we may recommend advanced testing to get more precise answers, such as:
- SIBO breath testing for bacterial imbalances in the small intestine
- Food sensitivity testing to identify hidden triggers
- Nutrient analysis to check for deficiencies linked to absorption issues
This root-cause approach helps us avoid guesswork and design a plan tailored specifically to you.
Common Concerns We Treat
Our Gut Health services are especially helpful for patients struggling with:
- Persistent bloating or abdominal discomfort
- IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and irregular digestion
- Food intolerances that make eating stressful or confusing
Because gut health impacts so many areas of the body, addressing these concerns can also improve energy, mood, immunity, and skin health.
Tools and Therapies We Use
Depending on your needs, your personalized plan may include:
- Supplements and probiotics to restore balance
- Targeted nutrition strategies, such as the FODMAP diet or short-term fasting protocols
- Lifestyle modifications to reduce stress and support digestion
- Advanced therapies available in-house, such as IV nutrition for deficiencies
Our providers, including Leah Streich, PA-C, Cassie Prewitt, FNP-C, and Bri Fleeman, FNP-C, work closely with you to ensure the plan feels realistic, supportive, and effective.
The Patient Experience
Most patients begin with a Comprehensive Health Consultation, which allows us to look at gut health in the context of your overall wellness.
However, if digestion is your main concern, you can also book a gut health evaluation directly. Either way, you’ll leave with a personalized plan and clear next steps.
Insurance and Coverage
Gut health services are often not covered by insurance, but many patients find the investment worthwhile.
The insights gained through testing and personalized care can provide answers that years of conventional treatment may not.
Take the Next Step
You don’t have to live with constant digestive issues or uncertainty about what’s causing them.
At Clinic 5C, we’ll help you uncover the root of the problem and guide you toward lasting relief.
