Q1 How can a Melbourne naturopath help with bloating?

Bloating is one of the most common gut health issues we see. It’s almost always linked to an imbalance in the gut microbiome – when bacteria ferment foods or when bacterial/yeast overgrowths disrupt digestion. Our Melbourne naturopaths use microbiome testing to identify exactly what’s happening in your gut, then design a personalised natural treatment plan with probiotics, herbs, and diet strategies to restore balance and relieve bloating.

Q2 Can a Melbourne naturopath help with IBS?

Yes – IBS is closely connected to changes in the microbiome. Research shows that people with IBS often have reduced gut diversity and overgrowths of certain bacteria/yeast. Our naturopaths in Melbourne use microbiome testing to uncover these imbalances, then provide natural treatment strategies including targeted probiotics, microbiome-balancing herbs, and evidence-based dietary support. Once balance is restored, many clients finally get long-term relief from IBS. This is why our treatment works – we’re not guessing. We can test in order to identify what the issue is. It makes treatment faster AND more effective.

Q3 What is microbiome testing and why is it important for gut health?

Microbiome testing is the missing piece of the puzzle for most gut health issues. It maps the bacteria, yeast, parasites, and inflammation inside your gut. Once you can see what’s happening, treatment is no longer guesswork – it’s precise. At The Naturopathic Co., we find that bloating, IBS, reflux, and constipation all link back to microbiome imbalance. By testing first, we can correct the imbalance and restore gut health naturally. So you don’t have to just put up with your symptoms any longer!

Q4 How does a naturopath treat reflux naturally?

Reflux is often misunderstood. Instead of “too much acid,” it’s often related to low stomach acid, microbial imbalance, or poor gut function. Our Melbourne naturopaths use microbiome testing to confirm the root cause, then provide natural treatments like herbal bitters, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and microbiome support to rebalance the gut and resolve reflux without relying on band-aid solutions.

Q5 Can a Melbourne naturopath help with constipation?

Constipation is almost always connected to the gut microbiome. Low levels of beneficial bacteria can slow down motility, while imbalances can make bowel movements irregular. At The Naturopathic Co., our Melbourne naturopaths use microbiome testing to pinpoint the imbalance and then recommend natural treatments such as targeted probiotics, microbiome-friendly fibre, herbal medicines, and gut-supportive lifestyle strategies to restore healthy, regular digestion.

Q6 Why choose microbiome testing with a Melbourne naturopath?

Most people spend years guessing – trying diets, supplements, or medications – without lasting relief. The reason is simple: unless you test the microbiome, you never see the root cause. At The Naturopathic Co., we use advanced microbiome testing in Melbourne to uncover the imbalances driving bloating, IBS, reflux, or constipation. Once identified, we restore balance with personalised, evidence-based natural treatment. This is why our clients finally find the relief they’ve been searching for.

Digestive symptoms like bloating, reflux, constipation, and IBS are rarely random – they almost always connect back to an imbalance in the gut microbiome. By using advanced microbiome testing, our Melbourne naturopaths can uncover the root cause and design a personalised, natural treatment plan that restores balance and delivers lasting relief.
