IBS Treatment Center

Absolutely amazed by my experience with the IBS Treatment center. For YEARS I've struggled with IBS and had seen so many doctors, gastroenterologists, even was hospitalized a few times, and never found answers or help. Within the first 11 days of getting my test results and changing my diet around I noticed a massive change. I felt energized. For years I was exhausted ALL the time, and for the first time in a very long time I started to have my energy back, and now it's been a month and everyday I wake up feeling alert and excited.

I used to suffer from so much pain and discomfort, really severe bloating and stabbing cramps that could leave me in bed for days. I'm THRILLED to say that I no longer feel this way. I know this is a journey that is just starting and might have its waves, but I feel so much happier and better prepared to handle it all. Dr. Diflorio is a dream to work with. I really felt like for the first time I was being listened to, and properly understood and cared for. Couldn't recommend more!

My gratitude and thankfulness to IBS Treatment center can not be expressed enough! I can't put in to words what Dr. Greer and the team at IBS Treatment Center has done for my life. Prior to starting treatment, I had spent two and a half years in and out of the hospital, with flare ups due to unknown allergies. After trying many diets, and many trips to the GI with no answers and no help, I finally reached out to IBS Treatment Center.

Given all of the countless solutions I had tried before and failed, I was a little anxious to see how this would all turn out. IBS treatment center provided tests and pin pointed exactly what my issue was and then Dr. Greer explained in depth what was wrong and how to fix it. Assuring me that I would get my life back. It has been three short months and the road to recovery has been mind blowing to say the least. Dr. Greer and her team are the most helpful people I have met in dealing with medical and with IBS.

I feel like they have put me on the path the regaining and living a full life again. I only wished I had reached out sooner. Thank you Dr. Greer, Erika and Sabrina. You are extremely invaluable.

Going to the IBS treatment center has changed my life. I suffered from IBS for over 4 years, which ruined my overall quality of life in high school and part of college. I went to many different doctors at my health care provider and NOTHING worked. I have tried medicines, diets, therapy, EVERYTHING. and yet I felt exactly the same. Now, at the IBS Treatment Center, I felt that my Doctor, Dr. Greer, really listened to me.

She understood me and my concerns and was very knowledgeable. After the initial tests, we came up with a plan--a new diet, some supplements, and her help whenever needed. That plan literally changed my life about 2 weeks into it. My symptoms immediately decreased. The constant stomach aches went away. The only time I have had a stomach ache since is when I accidentally messed up the diet!

Her treatment really works! I have energy to do things throughout the entire day, my stomach does not hurt anymore, my symptoms have decreased, and I already feel like I am taking my life back in control. Thanks Dr. Greer! Overall: Do it! Stop suffering and go to the IBS Treatment Center

I have been a patient for several years and have found the staff and Dr. Wagen EXTREMELY helpful with my issues. They always show a concern for my needs and are very responsive. As far a resolution of my IBS. It is resolved IF I follow the doctor's orders. When I don't, I have issues. Bottom line. The results are up to me based on the advise received. Thank you for being there for me!

I was dealing with IBS for a little over 1 year prior to finding this center. I had gone through tons of specialists and testings throughout the US and even consulted with doctors in Mexico. Despite all the diets and medications I had tried, I continued having terrible cramping pains, constant diarrhea, daily fatigue, etc. I had come to a point where it was interfering with many aspects of my life and I was starting to really give up hope.

After starting my treatment with Dr. Greer, within about one month, I started to see progress and for the first time I felt like I was getting better from my symptoms. Dr. Greer and her staff are all amazing and will take the time to answer all your questions. I have never felt rushed during any of my appointments and they make sure you are treated with only care and compassion.

My life has been completely turned around and I can't thank the IBS treatment center enough. I wish I had found this place a year ago but am glad to be on a healing path now!

In short, I was dealing with IBS for about a year with gut-wrenching upset stomach, diarrhea and the constant urge and anxiety to find a restroom. Within 6 weeks with meeting with Dr. Diflorio, my symptoms were completely relieved. In length - My Story: Disappointed with my gastroenterologist's ability to get to the bottom of my gut-wrenching upset stomach and diarrhea I was experiencing everyday for about a year, I decided to find help elsewhere.

I stumbled across the IBS Treatment Center in a google search. I was skeptic of its reviews and its claims to CURE IBS, especially holistically and naturally. I was initially concerned of how expensive it was, and how the costs would first have to come out of pocket and then reimbursed through my insurance's out of network policy. But being so desperate - I gave it a shot.

So I called the IBS Treatment Center in Santa Monica. Made an appointment and met with Dr Diflorio who was so pleasant to visit and speak with. She and her staff genuinely cared and wanted to help. At our initial consultation, Dr. Diflorio prescribed a blood and stool sample test. Dr. Diflorio explained that the stool sample test would analyze the state of my gut regarding good and bad bacteria, and the blood test would determine what various types of foods were inducing an immune response in my body and possibly cause inflammation in my gut.

The stool and blood results took about 4 - 5 weeks to return. I had a follow-up appointment to go over my results, which were eye-opening. The blood test reiterated some of the foods I was already aware of that I was very allergic to e.g. shellfish, however the blood results also showed foods that I was commonly eating everyday that might have been contributing to my constant, upset stomach and diarrhea symptoms e.g. almonds, egg whites, brown sugar, and salmon.

The stool sample test results showcased how my good bacteria was extremely low and bad bacteria was extremely high. Before I left the follow-up appointment, Dr. Diflorio provided me with an action plan to treat my IBS: - Eat with mindfulness and be grateful for the food and the nourishment it is providing to my body. - Go home and listen to my body and my gut - It is trying to tell me something. - Drink plentiful water - Based on the blood results, slowly remove foods from my diet that are potentially causing inflammation in my gut and body. - Based on the stool sample results, Dr. Diflorio prescribed natural supplements of Bearberry to eradicate the bad bacteria, probiotics to support the good bacteria and enzymes to support my digesting in my body.

I followed Dr. Diflorio's plan for recovery and within ONE week, my symptoms were noticeably alleviated and my urge to constantly use the restroom began to diminish Within ONE month, my symptoms were at a minimal and at times unnoticeable, and I was relearning how to live without the anxiety of upset stomach and diarrhea. It's been about 8 months since I've started seeing Dr. Diflorio. Thanksgiving and Christmas has come and gone, and I'll admit that I've digressed from my diet and supplements Dr. Diflorio had laid out prior to the festive times.

Within a month's time, some symptoms did come back. Fortunately, I've jumped back on the bandwagon, and again - within one week's time, my gut is happy again. I'll continue to follow Dr. Diflorio's recommendations, and I am looking forward to continuing in living a happy gut life without IBS. Thank you Dr. Diflorio and your staff. You've helped me reclaim my life back!

I would like to highly recommend the IBS treatment Center. I have suffered for three years during which time I have been to several gastroenterologists. I had a colonoscopy (which isn't so much fun) and was diagnosed to with IBS but no cure or relief was offered. Still seeking help another doctor diagnosed me with Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth(SIBO) but still didn't have a solution.

This went on for years but noone could come up with an effective treatment until I visited the IBS Center in Santa Monica. Dr. Diflorio was extremely knowledgeable and very aware of my symptoms. She ordered a stool test (something nobody else thought to do) and personally reviewed the results with me in great detail. The tests revealed several foods that were causing me problems.

I was given some special supplements and was told which foods to avoid. I'm happy to report that after only 60 days I began to feel much better and although I wasn't seeking a diet to lose weight I actually lost 22 pounds in the first 60 days. I found myself back to the weight I have been most of my adult life and I haven't felt this good in years! Thanks to Dr. Diflorio I no longer suffer from the horrible symptoms of IBS. I can never thank Dr. Diflorio enough.

I had allergy testing and office visits in Santa Monica, and did nutritional counseling over the phone with a staff member in Seattle. The original intake was very thorough and was reminiscent of going to an acupuncturist. They spent 30-45 min going over my history and information. I felt very heard and understood. The follow up I did on the phone and we went over my allergy test results.

They have a great Patient Portal that has all my allergy test results, appointment and treatment notes, supplement schedule, and nutrition plan and recipes. It was very helpful to see that my allergies are on a spectrum and some are slight intolerances and others are off the charts. Changing my diet has really helped and so do the supplements.

So glad I found the IBS Treatment Center. I have suffered with IBS for most of my life with no help from general physician or gastroenterologist. When my joint pain became unbearable, a friend suggested that it might be related to my IBS. I was skeptical but out of options so I contacted the IBS Treatment Center. The cost was a consideration but so worth it.

They provided me with a clear and comprehensive report of my food allergies and program recommendations for supplements, etc. After 30 days, I feel so much better. The bloat is gone, my other digestive issues are gone, and my hands and joints barely hurt. I am a runner and haven't felt like running much for the past year. I feel good. I am energized and relieved that I don't have to live like that anymore. I cant wait to see what another 30 days will do.

I set up my appointment with the IBS Treatment Center. I paid for a stool sample and it took over 2 months to receive the results. Then they did a blood sample. They said my issue stemmed from a gluten sensitivity. The doctor also prescribed very expensive supplements that did not help. I still have my IBS symptoms even though I have eliminated the foods that were recommended by the doctor. Also, my insurance would not pay for any of the supplements, testing or office visits.
