Digestive symptoms aren’t always “just IBS.”

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when bacteria that belong in the large intestine migrate into the small intestine — where they interfere with digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune balance.

✨ Common signs of SIBO can include:• Bloating or distention (often after meals)• Gas, constipation, or diarrhea• Abdominal discomfort• Fatigue or brain fog• Food sensitivities

SIBO is especially common in people with chronic illness, including those with Lyme disease, post-infectious gut dysfunction, and immune dysregulation. When the nervous system, gut motility, or immune defenses are disrupted, bacteria can take hold where they shouldn’t.

As we explore in our blog, effective SIBO care isn’t about suppressing symptoms — it’s about understanding why the imbalance developed in the first place.

At BioHeal Ottawa, treatment is personalized and root-cause focused, considering gut function, immune health, nervous system regulation, and individual triggers — because no two digestive stories are the same.

🌿 Healing starts when the gut is supported, not rushed.

At BioHeal Ottawa, this philosophy is at the heart of everything we do. 🌿

Two people may share the same diagnosis — Lyme disease, autoimmune illness, chronic fatigue — yet their symptoms, triggers, histories, and healing journeys can look entirely different. A diagnosis alone rarely tells the full story.

That’s why our practitioners take a patient-centered, root-cause approach. We look beyond the label to understand the individual — their immune system, nervous system, environment, history, and the unique factors contributing to their symptoms.🌱

Because symptoms are signals. Healing begins when we listen.💛

By seeking to understand the person first, we’re able to build personalized care plans that go deeper than symptom management — supporting long-term, meaningful healing.

When living with Chronic Lyme, appearances can be misleading.

Someone may show up smiling, dressed, engaged in conversation — and still be managing profound fatigue, pain, neurological symptoms, and nervous system overload behind the scenes.

Chronic Lyme is often described as an invisible disability because many of its most disruptive symptoms aren’t visible to others:

🔸️Deep, unrelenting fatigue
🔸️Migrating muscle and joint pain
🔸️Brain fog and slowed processing
🔸️Tinnitus and sensory sensitivity
🔸️Heart palpitations
🔸️Anxiety driven by immune and nervous system dysregulation

Showing up doesn’t always mean thriving.Smiling doesn’t always mean symptom-free.Being present can take extraordinary effort.

At BioHeal Ottawa, our naturopathic doctors are Lyme-informed practitioners who understand the fluctuating, multi-system nature of chronic Lyme and complex chronic illness. We work with patients to:

🌿Identify flare triggers
🌱Support immune and nervous system regulation
🌿Address inflammation and detoxification pathways
🌱Build individualized, sustainable care plans

We also offer a full in-clinic dispensary so protocols can be thoughtfully tailored and adjusted over time.

If you or someone you love is navigating symptoms that others can’t see — you deserve care that listens deeply and takes your experience seriously.

Lyme disease is often called the “great imitator” — and for good reason.

While many people associate Lyme with a bull’s-eye rash or short-term flu-like symptoms, those classic signs don’t appear for everyone. For many individuals, symptoms are complex, evolving, and deeply personal. This can lead to months — sometimes years — of misdiagnosis and delayed care.

One of the most overlooked — yet most disruptive — ways Lyme and related infections can present is neurologically.

Symptoms may include:• Brain fog and memory lapses• Executive dysfunction• Word-finding difficulties or subtle speech changes• Mood changes, anxiety, depression, irritability• OCD-like behaviours (sometimes associated with PANS/PANDAS in children)• Seizure-like episodes• Developmental regression in children — such as loss of handwriting, math, or reading skills

When infections and immune dysregulation affect the nervous system, the brain is often impacted. Too often, patients are told their symptoms are “just stress” or purely psychological — when there may be an underlying inflammatory or infectious driver contributing to what they’re experiencing.

At BioHeal Ottawa, the focus is not simply on managing symptoms — it’s on understanding the whole person. The team takes a patient-centered approach, seeking to identify and address root causes rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions. Through comprehensive assessment and advanced testing, BioHeal Ottawa works to uncover contributing factors behind complex, chronic symptoms and build individualized care plans that support immune regulation, neurological health, and long-term healing.

Lyme disease does not look the same in everybody — and neither should treatment.

If your symptoms don’t fit neatly into one box, or you’ve been searching for deeper answers, a thorough and personalized approach may make all the difference.

Lyme disease is more complex than many people are told. 

A growing body of research shows that Borrelia burgdorferi — the spirochete bacteria that causes Lyme disease — can persist in some patients despite standard antibiotic treatment. 
A comprehensive review of the medical literature by Fesler, Stricker, and Johnson (published in Advances in Infectious Diseases) examined 25 human studies and 10 animal studies, documenting persistent infection through methods such as tissue microscopy, culture, and xenodiagnosis. 

Lyme disease is also far more common than once believed. In 2021, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its estimates, reporting approximately 476,000 new Lyme diagnoses each year — making Lyme significantly more common than many well-known infectious diseases. 

What does this mean for patients? 

It means that ongoing symptoms are not imagined — and that healing often requires a Lyme-informed, individualized approach. 

At BioHeal Ottawa, Dr. Marie Matheson works with patients using a holistic, patient-specific lens — considering immune health, inflammation, co-infections, detoxification pathways, nervous system regulation, and personal history. There is no single protocol for Lyme disease — because there is no single Lyme patient. 

✨ Most importantly: there is hope. 
With informed care, the right support, and a practitioner who understands the nuance of Lyme disease, many patients do improve and regain quality of life. 

If you’re still searching for answers, you’re not alone — and you’re not out of options. Click the Linktr.ee in our bio to read more about Dr. Marie, BioHeal Ottawa, or to book a consultation.
