Covered by Most Insurance Plans
The SideBy Care Mind-Gut Program is in network with most insurance plans accepted by Louisiana Gastroenterology.
We verify coverage for every patient before starting, and any out-of-pocket costs are explained in advance—so there are no surprises.
A New Way to Feel Better
If you’re living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or other ongoing digestive issues—such as pain, bloating, discomfort, constipation, or diarrhea—you’re not alone. And relief is possible.
The SideBy Care Mind-Gut Program is flexible and designed around your schedule. You’ll have weekly virtual visits from the comfort of your home, and your SideBy Care team will keep your Louisiana Gastroenterology doctor updated on your progress.
Understanding Your Symptoms
Your gut and brain are closely connected—they constantly send signals to each other. When that connection gets out of balance, it can lead to symptoms like:
- Abdominal pain or discomfort
- Bloating or gas
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Changes in bowel habits
- Ongoing digestive issues not explained by tests
Because they are closely connected, stress, emotions, and diet can all affect how your digestive system feels and works. Using proven tools, we’ll help you make small, meaningful changes that treat uncomfortable digestive symptoms.
What to Expect
Here’s how we’ll support you:
- Help you understand what’s driving your symptoms
- Create a personalized plan that fits your daily life
- Support your progress through regular virtual visits
- Keep your Louisiana Gastroenterology doctor informed along the way
