When eating becomes complicated
Digestive symptoms can start shaping everyday decisions.
Food can become difficult when you no longer feel sure what your body will tolerate.
Bloating, changes in bowel habits and uncertainty around food triggers can gradually lead to increasing restriction and second-guessing.
Dietetic support provides a structured way to review your symptoms, current diet and wider circumstances before deciding what changes are actually appropriate.
Areas of support
Start with the problem, not a list of banned foods.
The areas explored depend on your symptoms, dietary pattern, previous strategies and individual circumstances.
Food triggers
Looking for useful patterns without assuming that every symptom requires another food to be removed.
Meal structure
Reviewing eating patterns, timing and practical changes that may support digestive comfort.
Fibre
Considering the type and amount of fibre within the context of your symptoms and tolerance.
Low FODMAP
Using a structured Low FODMAP approach where appropriate rather than treating it as a permanent restrictive diet.
Dietary variety
Working towards a diet that is as varied and nutritionally adequate as your individual tolerance allows.
A structured approach
Understand. Modify. Personalise.
Understand
Review your symptoms, dietary pattern, lifestyle and previous approaches before changing the diet.
Modify
Identify which evidence-based strategy is most relevant instead of changing multiple things at once.
Personalise
Use what you learn to create a longer-term approach based on your own tolerance and needs.
Low FODMAP
A useful tool. Not a forever diet.
When appropriate, a Low FODMAP approach is a structured process designed to help identify individual tolerance.
The purpose is not to remain on the restrictive phase indefinitely.
A short-term period using suitable lower FODMAP alternatives.
FODMAP groups are systematically tested to explore personal tolerance.
Tolerated foods are brought back to create a more varied long-term diet.
An important clinical point
Gut symptoms deserve the right assessment.
Dietetic support does not replace appropriate medical assessment. New, unexplained, worsening or otherwise concerning symptoms may require medical review.
Restrictive dietary approaches should not be used as a substitute for investigating symptoms where medical assessment is appropriate.
Dietitian-led support
Clinical reasoning, not another restriction list.
Gut-health advice can become unnecessarily restrictive very quickly.

Frequently asked
Before your consultation.
You do not need to know which dietary strategy you need before booking.
Ask a questionDo I need to follow a Low FODMAP diet?
Not necessarily. Low FODMAP is one possible dietary strategy for IBS, but it is not appropriate or necessary for everyone.
Is Low FODMAP a permanent diet?
No. A structured approach includes reintroduction and personalisation so tolerated foods can return to the diet.
Can you help identify food triggers?
Dietetic assessment can help explore patterns between your diet, symptoms and wider circumstances before deciding whether a structured dietary strategy may be useful.
What happens at the first consultation?
Your symptoms, dietary pattern, health background, previous approaches and goals are reviewed before personalised recommendations are discussed.

Yes. Consultations are delivered privately online.
