Co-prescribing with GIT Medications

Gastrointestinal disorders are prevalent with many people presenting to both orthodox and complementary medicine practitioners for assessment and advice.

In this webinar Beth will provide a clinically driven model for improving patient outcomes, highlighting both nutrition and lifestyle strategies as co-medication to support the management of primary and secondary GIT disorders.

The model consists of:

• The evaluation and prescription of movement and fibre to support better clinical outcomes; enhance medication effectiveness and reduce adverse effects.
• The assessment of gastric acid and pH production to evaluate digestion and absorption and the resulting potential nutritional deficiencies.
• Using GERD as an example, assessing potential nutrient deficiencies arising from the long-term use of medication for GERD.

Materials available include:

• Video Recordings
• Audio Recordings
• Digital Notes and Resources
• CPE Certificate of Attendance (1.5 Contact Hours)
