Frequently asked questions
What foods commonly trigger IBS or bloating?
Common culprits include certain fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs) found in some fruits, vegetables, wheat and dairy — along with large, rushed or very oily meals. Triggers are highly individual, which is why structured testing beats blanket cutting.
Should I try a low-FODMAP diet on my own?
It is not recommended. Low-FODMAP is a short-term diagnostic diet with a strict reintroduction phase — done alone, people often stay unnecessarily restricted and miss out on nutrients. A dietitian guides it safely.
Can diet help with gastritis or acid reflux?
Yes. Smaller meals, finishing dinner earlier, and identifying personal triggers — often coffee, chilli, oily or very spicy food — reduce symptoms meaningfully, alongside any medication from your doctor.
Do you support more complex gastrointestinal conditions?
Yes. Our dietitian provides clinical nutrition care for gastrointestinal conditions beyond IBS — including inflammatory bowel disease, coeliac disease and recovery after gut surgery. Hospital teams manage tube and parenteral feeding for inpatients; we provide individualised nutrition support and nutrient monitoring once you are home.
When should I see a doctor instead of a dietitian?
Red-flag symptoms — unintended weight loss, blood in stools, persistent vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or new symptoms after age 50 — need a doctor first. Once serious causes are ruled out, nutrition therapy is often the next step.
