Online Chiropractic CE Course Description & Course Details

The gastrointestinal tract drives more than digestion — it regulates systemic inflammation, immune function, and neurological signaling. For chiropractors managing chronic pain, fatigue, and autoimmune presentations, understanding gut pathophysiology is no longer optional. Nutrition 213: Gastrointestinal Disease & Nutrition delivers the clinical framework to integrate evidence-based GI protocols into everyday chiropractic practice.

Led by Dr. Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN — a Board-Certified Chiropractic Clinical Nutritionist with over 30 years of clinical experience — this 2-hour online CE course deconstructs the pathophysiology of leaky gut, SIBO, IBD, and the gut-immune axis, translating complex gastroenterological science into Monday-morning clinical protocols.

What You Will Learn

  • Differentiate GI Disorders: Identify and distinguish IBS, IBD (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), and functional dyspepsia in your chiropractic patient population.
  • Diagnose SIBO & Dysbiosis: Apply clinical criteria and nutritional management strategies for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and microbial imbalance.
  • Repair Intestinal Permeability: Implement evidence-based protocols to restore the mucosal barrier and modulate the gut-immune response driving chronic inflammation.
  • Apply the Microbiome Matrix: Strategically utilize probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics to restore microbial diversity and systemic resilience in complex cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Nutrition 213 cover specific diet protocols for SIBO?

Yes. Dr. Benedikt explores low-FODMAP and elemental dietary approaches alongside probiotic and prebiotic strategies for restoring microbial balance in SIBO patients.

How does GI dysfunction contribute to musculoskeletal pain in chiropractic patients?

Systemic inflammation frequently originates in the gut. Intestinal permeability allows inflammatory mediators into circulation, amplifying chronic pain presentations that chiropractors manage daily. Addressing the gut can significantly reduce treatment resistance.

Yes. This course is PACE-approved and accepted in 40+ U.S. states, Canadian provinces, and international jurisdictions. View your state's CE guidelines →
