About me

IBS Dietitian, UK

Can a dietitian help with IBS? I've helped so many IBS sufferers across the UK and here's an extract from a recent review:
"I have just finished the first phase of the low FODMAP diet. I'm now symptom-free, having suffered for many years. Debra's process is easy to follow. If you have IBS issues, don't wait like me, speak to Debra."

If you have IBS and want to improve your gut health, I can help you change your life too. My online treatment to support you in your journey includes: 
 - A free initial telephone consultationsymptom evaluation and assessment; general diet and low FODMAP advice; online sessions; comprehensive low FODMAP booklets; and ongoing support between sessions.
Usually only 3 sessions are needed.
So, let's book in a call to discuss how you can gain IBS relief. 
You're not alone - we can do this together!

info Information about health conditions (*)

Nutritional therapy can help enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting nutritional therapy or making any major changes to your diet or lifestyle.

Fees

Free initial telephone session

Additional information

I offer a free initial telephone consultation to help us decide whether the low FODMAP diet will help your IBS symptoms.

If we agree that I can help, we can arrange an online consultation for advice and support. This will last an hour and can be via Zoom or WhatsApp. Usually only 3 sessions are necessary. 

Consultations for irritable bowel syndrome involve detailed instruction, guidance and support for IBS treatment using the low FODMAP diet. However, as part of your consultation and assessment, I am able to give more general advice about your diet and gut health, but the focus will be on improving your IBS symptoms.

My advice will be supported by some informative, useful booklets and regular check-ins.

All consultations are online, so I can give my expert advice across the UK.
