Gut Health +
Food Intolerances
Have you been diagnosed with IBS, or experiencing symptoms like bloating, gas, abdominal pain/discomfort, constipation or diarrhea?
​
It is possible you have food intolerances due to poor gut health.
As an Accredited Practising Dietitian, I have expertise in gut health and food intolerances and can help people with:
​​
-
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
-
FODMAP intolerance
-
Fructose malabsorption
-
Lactose intolerance
The Gut Health Program can be tailored to any one of the above food intolerances. This program is designed to assist you to investigate any food intolerances and implement dietary change to get you feeling fabulous again. If a FODMAP intolerance is suspected you will be placed on a FODMAP elimination diet which will be followed by a series of “food challenges” which help pinpoint which group of foods play a role in your symptoms (and just as importantly which ones don't!). I will then help you to work out your own individual tolerance to the problem foods, so that your diet can be less restrictive and easier to follow.
Ultimately food intolerances should be about moderation in the long-term, not complete restriction. You only need to restrict initially to work out what you need to moderate. Once the problem foods and your individual tolerance level have been identified, I will work with you to build a healthy balanced diet that is nutritionally adequate so you aren't missing out on important nutrients when you take out certain foods.
