Large Intestine Protocol

What Does It Mean?

The Large Intestine Protocol is designed to restore gut health by addressing microbial imbalances, supporting digestion, and promoting regular bowel movements. The large intestine plays a crucial role in absorbing water, processing waste, and housing beneficial bacteria that influence immune and metabolic function. Dysfunction in this area can result in inflammation, dysbiosis, poor detoxification, and compromised digestive efficiency.

How Did We Get There?

Root Causes

• Gut Dysbiosis – Overgrowth of harmful bacteria or yeast can disrupt normal digestion and absorption.

• Inflammation & Leaky Gut – Chronic inflammation damages the intestinal lining, allowing toxins and undigested food particles into circulation.

• Poor Fiber Intake & Dysmotility – Insufficient dietary fiber and sluggish bowel movements can lead to constipation and toxin buildup.

• Toxin Overload – Excess toxins from diet, medications, and environment can overwhelm the gut’s ability to process waste efficiently.

Signs & Symptoms

• Bloating and excessive gas

• Irregular bowel movements (constipation or diarrhea)

• Abdominal pain or cramping

• Fatigue and brain fog due to toxin accumulation

• Food intolerances and sensitivities

• Skin issues such as acne, eczema, or rashes

Diagnostic Criteria

Patients with large intestine dysfunction typically present with a combination of gastrointestinal complaints, altered bowel habits, and markers of inflammation, dysbiosis, and impaired nutrient absorption on lab testing.

How Do We Treat It?

Functional Medicine Approach

The goal is to reduce gut inflammation, rebalance microbial populations, support digestion, and promote healthy bowel function.

Additional Lifestyle Interventions:

• Increase Fiber Intake – Consume a diet rich in fiber from vegetables, fruits, and resistant starches to feed beneficial gut bacteria.

• Hydration & Detox Support – Drink plenty of filtered water and include detoxifying foods like cilantro, parsley, and chlorella.

• Reduce Gut Irritants – Avoid processed foods, excess sugar, alcohol, and inflammatory seed oils that disrupt gut function.

• Regular Movement & Stress Management – Exercise and stress reduction techniques (e.g., yoga, meditation) support healthy gut motility.
