Success Story from Gwen, Mouth of Wilson, VA:
"I had debilitating upper and lower abdominal pain for years.
After my gallbladder was removed, the spastic pain was unbearable, and I didn’t have a life anymore. Most days, I would lay in bed with a heating pad on my stomach to help with the pain. Conventional doctors prescribed pharmaceuticals, but they only made things worse. One GI specialist even suggested removing part of my colon.
In addition to the pain, I experienced extreme exhaustion and depression, and my immune system plummeted, causing leukopenia (low white blood cells). Life didn’t seem worth living, and I had almost given up.
Then I found Dr. Gorla! I was impressed with the detailed intake process, and after just four weeks of treatment, my abdominal pain is gone, and I’m getting my energy back. I haven’t felt this good in years, and now, when I go to bed, I look forward to the next day. I’m so thankful to Dr. Gorla and his entire staff—they’re professional and genuinely kind.
Thank you, Dr. Gorla, for giving me my life back!"*
It All Begins in Your Gut
Gut health is the foundation of your overall well-being. If you’re like most people, you might only think about gut health when you experience digestive problems. However, if you're dealing with digestive symptoms, they’re likely impacting other areas of your health—and your life as well.
Gut issues can be frustrating, and sometimes even embarrassing. We understand how challenging this can be because we’ve helped many people with similar concerns. We want you to know that you're not alone, and there is something that can be done.
"I was really surprised to learn how many other areas of my health are impacted by my gut! I feel so much better!" — L.G., Blowing Rock
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are often overlooked or mismanaged. In fact, nearly 40% of Americans have Functional GI Disorders (FGID), where there are no structural or pathological findings, yet there is dysfunction and inflammation causing the symptoms. Without proper treatment, this gut inflammation can continue unchecked, leading to a general decline in overall health.
When your gut isn’t functioning properly, it can’t absorb and utilize the nutrients from the food you eat. Over time, this nutrient depletion can lead to a variety of conditions, such as:
- Worsening of autoimmune disorders and decreased immune function (frequent infections)
- Treatment-resistant anxiety and depression
- Skin inflammation
- Brain inflammation (memory loss, moodiness, brain fog, low motivation, exhaustion)
- Asthma and allergies
- Thyroid and hormonal imbalances
- Food and chemical sensitivities
- Joint and muscle pain (arthritis and fibromyalgia)
"After following Dr. Gorla’s recommendations and after 10 years of abdominal pain, IBS, and restrictive eating, I’m happy to say that I’m now symptom-free! My energy has dramatically improved. Dr. Gorla is not only the most intelligent doctor I’ve ever met, but he is also caring, compassionate, and genuinely kind. Symptoms are the body’s way of communicating that it can no longer manage a condition on its own and needs help." — Katie B.
