How can Nutritional Therapy help with IBS?

Nutritional Therapy helps identify the underlying causes of IBS symptoms and personalises a gut-healing plan that addresses: 

• Diet.
• Lifestyle.
• Suspected food intolerances.
• Nutritional deficiencies.
• Leaky gut.
• Optimal absorption by supporting enzyme levels, bile and stomach acidity.
• Balancing gut bacteria: parasites, worms, dysbiotic (bad) bacteria, and yeasts as well as normal bacteria.
• Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).

Comprehensive clinical tests are available which may offer further guidance.

​Nutritional Therapy works alongside medical treatment and should not be misconstrued as a replacement for medicine. I always work with your GP to ensure you get the best support and results.  I can also write to your GP if necessary and/or advise you of tests  available on the NHS so you can discuss further with your GP (if you are in the UK). 

Please be aware that IBS must be diagnosed by a medical doctor so that serious disease can be ruled out. And if you experience any of the following please consult your doctor urgently:

• Very dark stools or blood in the stool
• Unexplained weight loss
• Anaemia
• A family history of ovarian or colon cancer
• A sudden change in bowel movements
• Are over the age of 50.
