Gut Health Dietitian

Expert Gut Health Care, Tailored to Your Symptoms and Your Life

Gut issues affect every part of your life — how you eat, how you feel, and how much energy you have. If digestion has been running the show, you deserve specialised support that gets to the root of it. That’s what we’re here for.

Signs You Could Benefit From a Gut Health Dietitian

You might be in the right place if any of these sound familiar:

Persistent bloating and abdominal discomfort after eating that won't settle
A diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), coeliac disease, or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) that needs specialist dietary management
Ongoing digestive distress with no clear diagnosis — you've had tests, nothing conclusive came back, but symptoms persist
Hormone-related gut issues linked to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, or menopause
You've been avoiding foods like gluten, dairy, soy, or eggs without expert support — and it's led to nutrient gaps or a stressful relationship with food

What Your Gut Health Dietitian Can Help With

Digestive symptoms can take over your day — but with the right plan, most people feel noticeably better and get back to eating with confidence.

Comprehensive gut health assessment — Your dietitian assesses your medical history, symptom patterns, gut microbiome, metabolic markers, and digestive triggers before building your plan. If you're managing coeliac disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), your nutrition guidance supports your existing care — your GP and gastroenterologist stay in the loop.
IBS and the low FODMAP diet — Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) responds well to a carefully managed low FODMAP diet. The protocol involves three phases — elimination, reintroduction, and personalisation. Your dietitian identifies your specific triggers — whether fructose, lactose, fructans, or other fermentable carbohydrates — and builds a balanced plan around your tolerances to rebuild dietary variety and confidence in food.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) — Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis both affect how your body absorbs nutrients. Your dietitian works alongside your gastroenterologist to support gut healing and keep your nutrition on track through flare-ups and remission.
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and functional gut disorders — SIBO and functional gut disorders can cause overlapping symptoms that are hard to untangle on your own. Your dietitian uses a structured approach to identify what's driving your symptoms and builds a plan that brings real relief.
Food chemical sensitivities and histamine intolerance — Histamine intolerance and food chemical sensitivities — including salicylates, amines, and glutamates — need careful investigation. Your dietitian guides you through a structured process to pinpoint reactive chemicals while keeping your meals varied and enjoyable.
Lactose intolerance, fructose malabsorption, and coeliac disease — These common conditions are straightforward to manage with the right support. Your dietitian helps you understand your thresholds, find safe alternatives, and maintain a nutritionally complete diet — including monitoring for gaps in calcium and fibre during any elimination phases.

How We Work

step # 1

Assessment

Your first session covers medical history, symptom patterns, food diary, lifestyle habits, stress levels, and medications like antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, or antacids. Referral notes from your GP or gastroenterologist are reviewed.

step # 2

Your Starting Point

A tailored plan is created around your condition, food preferences, and life stage — whether that includes low FODMAP protocols, guided elimination diets, fructose reduction strategies, probiotic and prebiotic food strategies, or therapeutic supplementation.

step # 3

Tools & Support

Nutrition plans, label reading guides, eating out strategies, and meal rhythm tools help you recognise patterns and take control of your digestive health. Lasting habits are built through knowledge — not rigid rules.

step # 4

Ongoing Review

Regular check-ins track symptom progress and adjust the plan as your body responds. Reintroduction phases are guided carefully to confirm tolerances and rebuild dietary variety — until you feel confident managing your gut health on your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

The full elimination and rechallenge process typically takes 12 to 14 weeks, depending on your response. Your dietitian guides you through each phase so you get clear, usable answers about your triggers.

No. If you’re experiencing digestive symptoms that are affecting your daily life, we can help — even without a formal diagnosis. A thorough dietary assessment can screen for patterns and guide a referral to a gastroenterologist if needed.

The goal is always the widest possible diet that keeps symptoms under control. Elimination is a diagnostic tool — not a long-term eating plan. Most people reintroduce many foods successfully.
