When to see a naturopathic doctor
It may be time to see a naturopathic doctor if you have ongoing bloating, gas, diarrhea or constipation, or food reactions that seem to be multiplying. The same is true if you have fatigue, skin flares or joint aches alongside gut symptoms, or if you want a personalized gut plan instead of guessing.
See a medical provider promptly for blood in your stool, black stools, unexplained weight loss, persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, fever, or trouble swallowing.
