Suffering from stomach and intestinal complaints? Your Gut Therapist in Maastricht & Lanaken
Severe cramps, unpredictable bowel movements, chronic fatigue, or a stomach that remains painfully open after every meal. If you struggle with gastrointestinal complaints daily, it dominates your entire life. Perhaps you have been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), or you are stuck in the conventional medical system with the advice: "Just learn to live with it."
At Innerfresh, Aschwin van Diermen's orthomolecular practice, we believe that a chronically bloated stomach or bowel complaint is never 'normal'. With over 20 years of experience in providing in-depth guidance to people, I help you uncover the true cause of your symptoms and structurally restore your gut health.
​
My practice, Innerfresh, is physically located in Maastricht, but also focuses specifically on clients from Lanaken and the surrounding area. Do you live in Lanaken? Then you can be at the practice within a few minutes, or you can opt for the convenience of an online consultation.

Why standard dietary advice for bowel problems often falls short
Many people with bowel problems have tried everything: from eliminating gluten and lactose to taking random probiotics. Often, this provides only temporary relief or actually worsens the symptoms.
That is because gut complaints are complex. A disturbed gut flora (dysbiosis), low-grade inflammation, reduced stomach acid production, or an overloaded liver can all lie at the root. In addition, there is the indispensable axis between your gut and your brain (mindset/stress); stress has a direct, physical impact on your digestion.
In my practice in Maastricht and Lanaken, we look beyond symptom management. We focus on deep cell cleansing, targeted orthomolecular nutrition, and high-quality supplementation to reactivate your body's self-healing capacity.
​
Common complaints I treat in my practice:
-
A chronically bloated feeling / bloated stomach: You wake up with a flat stomach, but during the course of the day your stomach swells painfully (the 'pregnant-looking' effect).
-
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Alternating bowel movements (diarrhea or constipation), abdominal cramps, and gas without an identifiable regular cause.
-
Stomach Complaints & Heartburn: A feeling of fullness, regurgitation, or a burning sensation in the esophagus.
-
Fatigue and Brain Fog: Did you know that your gut is responsible for the production of neurotransmitters? Poor gut health often leads to a feeling of lethargy and concentration problems.

-
Thorough Anamnesis
We start with an extensive intake interview in which we accurately map out your symptoms, history, dietary patterns, and lifestyle. If necessary, we utilize specialized stool testing to precisely measure the state of your microbial balance and intestinal wall (e.g., a leaky gut). -
Deep Cell Cleansing & Gut Restoration
We tackle the recovery phase step by step. First, we relieve and cleanse the intestines, after which we restore the intestinal wall and specifically nourish the good bacteria. We use specific orthomolecular protocols that address the root of the problem. -
Mindset, Rest, and Integration.
Your gut reflects your mental peace. In addition to nutrition and supplementation, we focus on restoring balance in your nervous system so that your gut gets the rest it needs to digest and recover.

Scientific substantiation: The power of targeted gut therapy
At Innerfresh, we work exclusively based on proven orthomolecular principles. The relationship between nutrition, gut flora, and the recovery from chronic conditions is widely supported worldwide by clinical and medical research. Below you will find a number of key publications from the medical database PubMed (National Center for Biotechnology Information):
-
The Influence of Nutrition on Intestinal Permeability and the Microbiome in Health and Disease (Frontiers in Nutrition)
-
The core: This research demonstrates that increased intestinal wall permeability (a 'leaky gut') and a disturbed microbial balance (dysbiosis) underlie conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The review study concludes that targeted, personalized nutrition is the most effective and natural way to restore the intestinal wall.
-
-
Feeding the microbiota-gut-brain axis: diet, microbiome, and neuropsychiatry (Translational Psychiatry)
-
The core: This research highlights the intense communication between the brain and the gut (the gut-brain axis) via, among other things, the vagus nerve. It confirms that dietary composition is the most critical modifiable factor for regulating this axis. This explains why stress management and gut therapy must go hand in hand when resolving complaints.

-
Low-FODMAP Diet for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Insights from Microbiome (Journal of Clinical Medicine)
-
The core: This research shows that temporarily eliminating specific carbohydrates (FODMAPs) can alleviate symptoms, but simultaneously warns that in the long term, this diet can starve beneficial bacterial strains and actually weaken the gut flora. Innerfresh’s vision: In practice, we see that a restrictive FODMAP diet often does not address the root cause. Therefore, we do not focus on the permanent elimination of food groups, but on actually restoring and nourishing the gut flora for a lasting result.
-
-
Dietary fiber in irritable bowel syndrome (International Journal of Molecular Medicine)
-
The core: This research explains why general fiber advice often has a counterproductive effect on intestinal complaints. Short-chain, rapidly fermenting fibers actually cause gas, cramps, and bloating, whereas specific, soluble fibers soothe and protect the intestinal wall. This proves why personalized nutrition is necessary.
