Gut Bloating

Oct 1, 2025

At Well Humans, we understand that gut issues like gut bloating, discomfort after meals, or unpredictable digestion aren’t just annoying—they’re signals from your body that something deeper may be out of balance. As a board-certified health coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, I specialize in helping people like you identify the root causes behind their chronic symptoms. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn fatigue, skin issues, mood changes, or persistent digestive complaints, optimizing your gut microbiome is often the foundational first step toward lasting wellness.

Your gut microbiome—the vast ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms in your digestive tract—plays a critical role in not only digestion but also immune function, brain health, hormone balance, and inflammation control. When this delicate internal environment is disrupted, symptoms like gut bloating, food sensitivities, and energy crashes can become your norm. At Well Humans, we use cutting-edge lab testing to get a clear picture of your gut function, uncovering hidden imbalances like bacterial overgrowth, leaky gut, parasites, or dysbiosis that may be driving your health concerns.

While diet and lifestyle are foundational, many people benefit from targeted support using probiotic supplements for gut health. However, not all probiotics are created equal—and without proper testing, it’s easy to take the wrong strains or dosages. Through customized wellness plans grounded in your unique lab results, we guide you in selecting the right probiotics and therapeutic foods to nourish your gut lining and rebalance your microbiome, naturally and effectively.

Healing your gut is about more than symptom relief—it’s about reclaiming your vitality. If you’re tired of guessing and want real answers, Well Humans offers a science-backed, compassionate approach to help you feel better in your body. Let’s partner to identify the root cause of your gut bloating and other chronic symptoms, and create a clear, sustainable path toward vibrant health and resilience.

Fix Your Gut and Feel Your Best

carla alpert functional medicine practitioner

Hello and Welcome! My name is Carla Alpert, and I’m a Board Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach and Diagnostic Practitioner, focusing on the gut and how it affects your overall health. Think of me as a health detective and wellness coach working in partnership with you to restore your health. We work together to uncover the contributing factors to your chronic symptoms, to eat well, sleep well, move more and stress less.

I love the GI MAP test because it helps my clients and I discover gut dysfunction that may be contributing to daily digestive issues as well as other chronic symptoms like anxiety, fatigue and brain fog. I created this GI MAP Coaching Package to help you stop struggling with your health and get back to living your best life.

What Clients Are Saying

Carla really helped me to figure out my gut pain and issues after so many years. I finally feel like I have energy and clarity around my health! She was so easy to talk to and helped me discover problem areas that were causing me so much distress, when no other doctors could help.
VICTORIA

Well Humans changed my life. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis accompanied by chronic hives. It sprang up out of nowhere and caused bizarre “food allergies” that I’d never had before. Because of Carla’s coaching and dietary recommendations as well as GI Map testing, I can happily say that I am now symptom-free, and I have been in remission for over a year now. All of the doctors I saw told me I would have to deal with my symptoms because there was no cure, but here I am, back to living a mostly normal life. I highly recommend Carla and Well Humans for anyone looking for real answers and treatments that work.
KALYN

When working with Carla, you are in capable, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring hands. Carla truly cares about your well being and wants to help you be the healthiest that you can be. My health was truly suffering and with her guidance and suggested testing, we uncovered some issues that nobody else had uncovered, despite my going to some of the top rated medical institutions. My health and pain improved greatly due to Carla’s sleuthing…she knew where to look. Through many health challenges, I was quite emotional and Carla showed me what compassion looks like. If you want to truly improve your health, start with Well Humans.
BETH

Over years, I’ve tried various “alternative” medicine as well as conventional “western” medicine approaches. Skin ailments are hard to treat – so many aspects of a life can produce skin symptoms. I enthusiastically recommend Well Humans and Carla for a simple reason – I’ve experienced sustained, substantial improvement! I have hardly ever posted a review of anything, but writing this was an easy choice to make. I wish you all the best in your journey towards better health!
JON

I searched the U.S. to find someone who does what Carla does. Carla has used her knowledge, support and expertise to optimize my health and well-being with a blend of scientific medical tests, supplements and diet changes. I wasted a lot of time on my hunches, the internet and experiments with supplements and food and NOW i have an actual plan. Superb supportive knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Carla. Grateful.
LISA

I never knew that I had a gluten allergy and intolerance until Carla discovered it in my blood work! I’m so grateful that she made this discovery and I have been gluten free ever since. I sleep better, don’t feel bloated and have much more energy. It was a life-changing insight.
