Digestive health

Understanding which foods cause symptoms is more useful than building up a list of forbidden foods. We review symptoms, meals and habits to make informed dietary adjustments.

Pulses, bread, oats, a pear, walnuts and red cabbage on a light table.

From symptom to pattern

Bloating, pain, reflux or changes in bowel habits can have different causes. We look at when they occur, how long they last and how they affect your eating. This helps guide nutritional support and identify when medical assessment is needed.

Observe

Relating symptoms with meals, quantities, schedules and context. An isolated food rarely explains the whole situation.

Adjust

Review food structure and tolerance. If an exclusion arises, it must have a reason and follow-up.

Recover variety

Where a temporary restriction is necessary, plan for its review and reintroduction of food.

What may need adjusting

We review the type and amount of fibre, portion sizes, food preparation, sweeteners and meal timing, as well as foods you have stopped eating and the influence of sleep, stress or medication. These are factors to consider, not a list of foods you need to remove.

Four steps to regain confidence when eating

  1. History and symptoms

    We review your diet, previous diagnoses, medication and recent changes.

  2. An intervention with a clear goal

    We choose what to change and what to monitor: symptom severity, bowel habits or tolerance of meals.

  3. Reintroducing foods and understanding your tolerance

    If a temporary restriction has been recommended, we review your response and systematically test which foods and quantities you can reintroduce. The aim is to maintain as much variety as possible.

  4. Making it work in your life

    We prepare alternatives for work, travel and meals outside. If there is no improvement, we review the hypothesis and the need for medical evaluation, rather than continue to eliminate food.

Frequently asked questions

Is a low FODMAP diet for everyone?

No. It may form part of treatment for some people with irritable bowel syndrome. It requires an appropriate indication, specialist guidance and review.

Do I need a diagnosis?

Persistent symptoms deserve assessment. If there is a diagnosis, we incorporate it into the plan; the diet alone cannot identify the cause.

When to consult the doctor?

If you notice blood in your stools, unintentional weight loss or severe pain, seek medical assessment. Do not assume these signs are due to an intolerance without having them investigated.
