Disorders of Gut Brain Interaction (DGBIs)

How our dietitians can help you

• Understanding your unique needs: We understand that fear of eating due to risk of gut symptoms is very different to avoiding food for other reasons, such as in an eating disorder.
• Personalised support: We work with you to unravel the complexity of associations between food and your gut-brain-pain (or other symptoms) response.   
• Step-wise guidance: We guide you step-by-step through our parallel program for symptom management and gradual food reintroduction to incrementally regain diet diversify. 
• Regain food enjoyment and confidence: Our approach accommodates and addresses fear of food or eating that understandably results from associated symptoms over time. 
• Holistic care: Often, dietary approaches work better when combined with other lifestyle strategies. We help you explore the range of available, evidence-based gut-brain therapies and services, including how to formulate an integrated plan that suits you.
• Support Gut Health: We focus on minimising symptoms in parallel to building gut health using whole food-based approaches, you can achieve gut health with fewer symptoms.
• Quality of Life: Our priority is to avoid unnecessary dietary restrictions and support clients in regaining confidence and enjoyment in eating.
• Expertise with empathy: Drs Kerith Duncanson and Georgina Williams bring a compassionate, individualised approach to every client.
