You Say Yes, But Your Gut Says No.
You plan your day around what you eat and where is the nearest the bathroom. You avoid those foods, events, & travel because you can't trust your gut.
It seems like your gut causes problems no matter what you eat. Nothing seems to add up.
Some days its bloating & pain. Other days it's reflux, constipation, diarrhea, or all the above.
You've tried elimination diets, probiotics, antacids, antibiotics, medications, and more.
You've had all the tests & were told everything looks normal. But you don't feel normal.
If this sounds familiar, you're not imagining things.
Most digestive care focuses on managing symptoms. But it does not uncover why your digestive health deteriorated in the first place.
That's where the DOTS Method™ comes in. The DOTS Method™ investigates root cause, connects the DOTS, and determines the hidden reasons behind your symptoms.
Connect the DOTS to your digestive root cause. Say goodbye to gut trauma & bathroom drama.

Frustrated with your gut health?
I hear you. I see you. I believe you.
I've been in your shoes. For years the healthcare system failed me & my chronic gut issues.
That's why I created the DOTS Method™.
Hi! I'm Christine Boudreau, former gut health sufferer.
After years of pain, no answers, and a lot of frustration, I took matters into my own hands. I used my training in solving complex tech software problems and applied it to my own health.
My results were drastic and undeniable. I reversed years of gastro issues — painful bloating, constipation, and irritable bowel — and mental health struggles — brain fog, irritability, paranoia, depression, anxiety, and OCD.
I solved my chronic health mystery on my own, even though many doctors and therapists over several years couldn't figure it out. My research led me to shift careers to root-cause functional medicine and psychotherapy.
Now I'm on a mission to share my method and solve chronic illness so no one else has to suffer unnecessarily.
The DOTS Method™ works best for stubborn gut issues, like IBS, SIBO, GERD, food sensitivities, and undiagnosed digestive symptoms.
The DOTS Method™ will help you understand what's really causing your symptoms and allow you to take control of your health.

Common Root Causes of Chronic Gut Health Issues
Chronic digestive symptoms rarely have a single cause. More often, they develop when multiple systems are out of balance at the same time. Below are some common root causes of gut issues treated with the DOTS Method™.
Imbalanced Microbiome
An overgrowth of harmful bacteria or yeast, or a lack of beneficial microbes, can disrupt digestion, trigger inflammation, and lead to symptoms like bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and food reactions.
Chronic Inflammation
Low-grade inflammation may not show up on standard tests, but it can irritate the gut lining and interfere with nutrient absorption, motility, and immune regulation.
Impaired Digestion
Poor stomach acid, enzyme production, or slowed intestinal movement can cause food to sit too long in the digestive tract, leading to reflux, bloating, and irregular bowel habits.
Food Sensitivities
Some foods trigger immune responses that inflame the gut, even when allergy testing is negative. These reactions can worsen IBS-type symptoms and make the digestive system more reactive over time.
Dysregulated Nervous System
The gut and brain are in constant communication. Chronic stress, trauma, or a persistently activated nervous system can directly disrupt digestion, motility, and gut barrier function.
Imbalanced Hormones & Metabolism
Blood sugar instability, thyroid dysfunction, and hormonal shifts can all affect digestion and gut function, especially when symptoms fluctuate or worsen under stress.

The DOTS Method™ for Gut Health Is Different.
Get Answers and Results.
The DOTS Method™ is a different approach from what you typically experience with traditional digestive healthcare.
Traditional digestive healthcare is excellent at identifying structural disease. It can rule out ulcers, tumors, severe inflammation, and obvious pathology. That is important, life-saving work.
Traditional digestive healthcare typically starts with identifying which diagnosis matches your symptoms and then prescribes a medication for symptom relief.
Traditional digestive healthcare typically gives you a one-size-fits-all protocol. Most diagnoses receive the same prescription and treatment.
In traditional digestive healthcare, when you’re told “everything looks normal,” that usually means nothing dangerous was found. But the root cause was never investigated, and that’s why symptoms linger. And why many people get stuck cycling through restrictive diets and prescriptions without feeling better.
However, the DOTS Method uses a root-cause functional medicine approach and looks at how your digestive system is functioning as part of a larger, interconnected system.
Because digestion doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s influenced by the microbiome, immune signaling, inflammation, hormones, metabolism, nervous system, and more.
That's why the DOTS Method™ looks beyond the gut to investigate what’s actually driving your symptoms and connects the DOTS.
The DOTS Method™ uses a highly customized strategy and analyzes your specific health history, patterns, and labs to build a personalized plan that addresses the root causes of your specific digestive issues.
With the DOTS Method™, the goal isn’t just to quiet symptoms. The goal is to help your gut become more resilient, regulated, and functional.

DOTS Wellness Reviews
Root Cause Medicine for Gut Health in Frisco, Texas
“I had SIBO for years but didn’t know it. Just constant bloating, bathroom panic, and exhaustion. My GI said it was IBS and told me to manage stress. Christine was the first gut health specialist who actually ran the right labs and explained what was really going on. I finally feel human again.”
-Katie, Frisco, Texas
Bathroom Panic Gone
“After taking antacids for a decade, my GERD & reflux were only getting worse. Christine found H pylori even though it didn't show on endoscopy. She treated it naturally without medication & it's gone. No more burning. I didn’t realize how much my gut health was affecting my mood and energy, too.”
-Mike, Plano, Texas
Leaves Antacids at Home
“Every meal triggered bloating, diarrhea, or reflux. I’d been diagnosed with IBS, but no one looked deeper until I worked with Christine. She uncovered SIBO, food sensitivities, and even mold issues that were wrecking my gut health. I’m finally able to eat without fear.”
-Reese, Dallas, Texas

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the DOTS Method™ for Gut Health & Digestive Issues in Frisco, Texas
Can the DOTS Method™ really help my chronic digestive symptoms?
Yes, especially when symptoms haven’t improved with standard treatment. The DOTS Method™ looks beyond the diagnosis to identify underlying contributors like microbiome imbalance, inflammation, motility issues, food reactions, and stress physiology that often drive chronic gut symptoms.
What if my GI labs & tests were normal?
This is very common. “Normal” endoscopy, colonoscopy, & GI lab results usually mean nothing dangerous was found. This does not mean that everything is functioning well. Our method focuses on how the gut is working, not just whether disease is present.
Do you replace my gastroenterologist?
No. I don’t replace your GI doctor. I complement your GI doctor by addressing areas conventional testing and treatment often miss. Many clients continue working with their GI doctor while addressing root causes through a functional approach.
Do you offer appointments in-person, virtual, or both?
I offer both in-person & virtual visits. DOTS Wellness is located in Hall Park at 2591 Dallas Parkway, Suite 300, Frisco, Texas. My virtual sessions are conducted via secure telehealth for clients across the United States.
How long does it take to feel better?
Every person is different. Some people notice improvements within weeks, while others require a longer, more gradual process. Healing depends on the underlying drivers, consistency, and how long symptoms have been present.
