How our dietitians help with IBS:
As experienced irritable bowel syndrome dietitian’s, we understand these symptoms can be painful, really embarrassing, confusing when they occur and difficult to manage.
You might have been living with IBS for a long time and no one can tell you exactly what it is or what causes it. Perhaps you’ve tried eliminating gluten, or dairy, or been following a FODMAPs diet? Perhaps you still are and are restricted in what you can eat and even though you’ve been doing “all the things” they say can make it better, you’re still suffering. Maybe you feel that there must be something else going on? Something you’ve missed?
We can:
- Work together to improve your gut microbiome.
- Provide individual, expert dietary advice to help manage the symptoms of IBS.
- Provide guidance on following a low FODMAP diet followed by a tailored reintroduction of foods phase – a step that’s often forgotten but without can lead to over restriction.
- We will act a bit like a food detective, trying to understand and diagnosis with food group or choices are triggering your symptoms.
- Assist you to living a life where you can work and play without the fear of being ‘caught out’ in public
And it’s not just gut symptoms that can improve. By working with an irritable bowel syndrome dietitian to restore your gut health, you might see improvements in how you feel mentally, with renewed energy and reduced inflammation. Or even start to lose weight if you’ve been struggling to. That’s because fixing the gut fixes the whole body. It really is the centre of our universe.
