Humaira Quraishi ND, MS — Local services in Fort Lee

I want to give a heartfelt thanks to Dr Humaira! Last year I was going through many digestive and health problems. After trying many places and people without much progress, Dr. Humaira put me on protocol for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) along with a low FODMAP diet. But she went above and beyond by sending me a list of recipes from her own book so that I could have diversity in my food choices and meals. One thing that I want to highlight as very IMPORTANT for whoever is going through a similar experience as me is to remember that it will most likely get worse before it gets better. Initially on this protocol I felt a lot worse than before I began any treatment (this is called Herxheimer reaction). But rest assured I felt a completely different person after a month or so. My belly was pretty much flat (minimal bloating, gas, and constipation). Furthermore, I was awake before sunrise without an alarm, I had incredible energy, I could finally focus because the brain fog was gone, and many other benefits. As for now about 4 months or so later, I still have some health problems, but Alhumdullilah I feel much much better than when I had SIBO. Unfortunately, I did not commit to Dr Humaira more than a month or so due to personal reasons. My recommendation is that it would be best if you could commit for as long as she recommends. Throughout my journey I felt that she cared about my health and was sincere to me. For all that and...

I am pretty upset to write this review but it needs to be said. I reached out to her a while back and made sure she was specialized in the area I was coming in for. She said yes so I proceeded. Initially, I really liked her but when she provided her treatment plan it was a little bit confusing and she recommended over 10+ supplements and things to do. I did feel a bit overwhelmed at first but I thought she probably recommended that many due to my concerns, which is fair game. I did clarify all the instructions with her so that I can get started with my routine. I tried the supplements and felt absolutely 0 relief. I reached out to her and stated that her treatment plan did not work and that I would like to do a follow up (that I would PAY for). She completely ghosted me via text. I even tried calling her and she ghosted me there as well. When I reached out to her the very first time, she was very responsive via text and calls and now that her treatment plan did not work, she ghosted me. I am actually very hurt about this because it is unprofessional and unethical to do this knowing your patients are in pain. If you cannot help me, I'd rather you be upfront about it. I actually spoke to another Naturopath where they mentioned this many supplements are actually very overwhelming and stressful. You only need maybe 3, max. I still wanted to give her a try but the (no response) is a response and therefore I will not...

I had a stomach discomfort which became unbearable as time passes by. I visited GI doctor who scheduled endoscopy. The endoscopy results detected h-pylori bacteria. I took antibiotics for 2 weeks with omeprazole. After the antibiotics I was still struggling with my gut. PPI makes it good but i don't want to be addicted to it. After a month on PPI, my GI doctor advised to stop it. I did and all my gut issues reappeared.

GI doctor ordered, CT-scan, MRI, colonoscopy, ultra-sound, hida-scan and countless of blood-works, nothing was detected. I was just told to go home, all will be fine on it's own. Me who knows how painful my gut was, I couldn't sit home just like that. I had to do something to soothe my pains. Later part, my gut pain could be felt on my right side as well.

My friend suggested to see naturopathic doctor to see if they'll find something. That's how I came across Dr Humaira. After listening to my ordeal and my journey, she recommended a handful of supplements + diet changes (dos and don't on my diet) . 1 week into the medicines, I started noticing comfort for the first time since this journey begins. She advice to take the meds for 1 month and revisit her.

All is going great so far. I'll update my status after...
