Digestive Health

Somewhere between 10 – 30% of the population experience Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), with many individuals excluding lists of foods or food groups which seem to upset their gut.

Treatment

The first step in treatment of IBS is to find out if your lifestyle is the biggest concern. If  you are working really hard, not eating properly, drinking too much, or living on the sofa we will try and change that first so that your daily diet looks like a healthy diet, and your daily life looks better also.   If you are still having problems it’s good to look at specific food based interventions such as fibre, alcohol, caffeine, lactose, fructose, gluten may all impact, and it is my remit, looking at all the information you have provided to consider the best way forward.

Low FODMAPs Diet

Recent research from Australia also suggests a low FODMAP diet, when achieved with the support of a dietitian, can be helpful in managing IBS symptoms. This particular diet has been shown to achieve improvement in symptoms in around 70 – 80% of trial participants (no mean feat) so is definitely worth trying, but only if necessary.

I used Felicity to help me with my IBS which I suffered from for many years. Her advice was amazing and from the first session onwards she gave me a lot of suggestions that alleviated the symptoms in very short time. In addition she helped me lose a lot of weight and also gave me very practical suggestions how to maintain my weight loss (a problem of mine in the past). I feel so much better now, almost like a new man following Felicity's all-round advice on diet, eating habits and exercise and can’t thank her enough. What particularly impressed me with Felicity was her well-founded scientific knowledge of issues of diet and well-being (an approach that really appeals to me) which she can explain very well and translate into clear and practical instructions and actions, including with simple cooking suggestions. She also has a great sense of humour and makes you feel at ease even when talking about quite personal subjects and issues.

Pulses

Personalising the Diet

Working holistically, we explore whether stress, complicated working hours, poor sleep, sedentary living and lack of exercise are contributing to your symptoms, or if those symptoms might be food related.

I can help you look at specific food-based triggers, and how to best manage your symptoms using either a Low FODMAP approach or other targeted dietary intervention.

When symptoms are alleviated, I want you have a clear understanding of what you can eat, and what you can’t eat, and what you can eat instead so as not to compromise your nutrition.
