Diverticulosis and diverticulitis sound similar, but they’re very different.

▪️ Diverticulosis means small pouches (diverticula) have formed in the colon wall. It’s common and often symptomless.
▪️ Diverticulitis happens when those pouches become inflamed or infected - leading to pain, fever, and digestive disruption.

At Pacific Northwest Integrative Medicine, Dr. Heather Buckle, ND, FABNO, helps patients manage both with root-cause care - supporting healing, lowering inflammation, and preventing recurrence through individualized nutrition, supplementation, and conventional therapies when needed.

✨ Evidence-based. Whole-person. Personalized.

You’ve been told it’s “just IBS” ... but you’re still bloated, in pain, and running to the bathroom.

Here’s the truth: IBS is often a catch-all diagnosis that misses what’s actually going on.

Fructose malabsorption? SIBO? GERD? These are just a few of the conditions that can mimic or overlap with IBS.

We specialize in getting to the root cause, and building a real treatment plan from there.

You don’t have to be on acid blockers for life.

Reflux (GERD) is often a sign something deeper is going on - not just a medication deficiency.

We help patients explore root causes and wean off long-term meds when appropriate, using natural therapies and lifestyle strategies tailored to your needs.

Let’s talk about real solutions.

Low FODMAP, SCD, AIP, elemental...

We get asked about restrictive diets all the time. While they can reduce symptoms, they also carry risks - from nutrient deficiencies to disordered eating.

That’s why we use short-term therapeutic diets strategically, with clear reintroduction plans, so you’re not stuck avoiding foods forever.

Because healing shouldn’t come at the cost of nourishment.

Some patients want herbals. Others feel better with prescriptions. Either way, the goal is the same:

SIBO isn’t necessarily chronic. If you’re tired of feeling adrift, and looking for specialized support, Dr. Buckle specializes in SIBO and root-cause GI care.
