Digestive health
IBS and Digestive Health Nutrition
The aim is not to remove as many foods as possible, but to consider symptoms, eating patterns and medical assessment together.
Symptom-led assessment
Consultations review symptom timing, meals, stress, sleep, medication and previous restrictions. Medical assessment comes first for symptoms without a diagnosis.
Where appropriate, stepwise changes and symptom records are used while avoiding prolonged, unnecessary elimination and nutritional shortfalls.
Topics that may be covered
- Meal structure and trigger tracking for IBS
- Daily habits relevant to reflux
- Personalising fibre and fluid intake
- Careful review of restricted foods
Stepwise and proportionate
Digestive symptoms do not all have the same cause. Planning follows diagnosis, symptoms and tolerance, with gastroenterology care where needed.
Seek medical advice first for new, severe or persistent digestive symptoms.
