Our Approach

Your nutrition plan may involve identifying dietary triggers, adjusting fibre intake, managing meal patterns, supporting nutritional adequacy or using a structured dietary intervention when appropriate.
We aim to make dietary management as practical and sustainable as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Not necessarily. Bloating has many possible causes, and eliminating gluten before appropriate testing may interfere with the diagnosis of coeliac disease.
-
Dietary interventions can improve symptoms for many people with IBS, although the most appropriate strategy depends on the individual.
-
You can book directly. However, persistent or concerning gastrointestinal symptoms may require medical assessment to exclude other conditions.
-
Dietetic support can assist with nutritional adequacy, deficiencies, dietary tolerance and nutritional needs during different phases of disease, alongside medical management.
-
Dietary changes can play an important role in managing IBS symptoms. However, the most restrictive diet is not necessarily the most effective or sustainable approach.
The low-FODMAP diet is an evidence-based intervention that may benefit some people with IBS. It involves a structured process of temporary dietary restriction, food reintroduction and personalisation.
A dietitian can help you determine whether this approach is appropriate, guide you through each stage and maintain nutritional adequacy and dietary variety.
Importantly, not everyone with IBS needs a low-FODMAP diet.
