Our clients benefit from consulting with dietitians who also work in gastrointestinal research. This combination of practical experience and cutting edge research allows us to help you to help yourself.

Our Services
We specialise in various gastrointestinal conditions and symptoms. Read more about these conditions and find out how our dietitians can help you manage them.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
We tailor our approach to IBS to suit your unique mix of symptoms, past experiences, and food preferences. We’ll talk through all your options and help you find what works best for you.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Maintaining a balanced diet while managing the symptoms of IBD can be challenging. We help with effective symptom management and a well-planned, varied diet, reducing symptom severity.
Functional Dyspepsia
FD is commonly misdiagnosed, due to it being a disorder of gut-brain interaction. Stress, certain foods, and gut bacteria imbalances can trigger symptoms, and we help you unpack it.
Eosinophilic Gut Conditions
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a condition where certain foods trigger inflammation. Dietary management is a key treatment strategy, and we will help ensure the diet is tailored to your needs.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
Our approach is tailored to each person, based on how SIBO or IMO (Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth) was diagnosed, your symptoms, food sensitivities, and gut health history.
Reflux
Reflux can be tricky to manage- we work together to make personalised dietary adjustments for identifying and reducing trigger foods while maintaining a balanced, nutritious diet without unnecessary restrictions.
More Reasons To Choose Us

Our dietitians use evidence-based strategies to support a diverse and balanced gut microbiome, which is linked to better mental health, immune function, and reduced risk of chronic disease.
