Gut Health

Our gut health dietitians in Melbourne, Bendigo, Shepparton, Albury Wodonga, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast provide evidence-based support for digestive issues such as IBS, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, and coeliac disease. We identify food triggers, improve gut function, and help restore long-term comfort and wellbeing.

Yes. We provide specialist support for lactose intolerance, fructose malabsorption, food-chemical sensitivities, and coeliac disease. Our team helps you plan safe, balanced meals, avoid cross-contamination, and maintain nutrient adequacy on a gluten-free diet.

We support people through flare-ups and remission, focusing on gentle, anti-inflammatory foods, nutrient repletion, and gut-friendly meal plans. Our dietitians collaborate with your gastroenterologist and GP for coordinated care.

Absolutely. The gut microbiome influences mental health, immune function, and inflammation. We use nutrition strategies — like prebiotics, probiotics, and fibre diversity — to restore balance and support overall wellbeing.

Nutrition can make a significant difference for people with IBS, food intolerances, and other digestive issues — not just through the low FODMAP diet, but by addressing the many factors that influence gut function.

Our dietitians take a personalised approach to identify triggers, balance the gut microbiome, and strengthen digestion. This may include:

• Using stepwise FODMAP reintroduction to pinpoint triggers while maintaining dietary variety.
• Supporting gut–brain interaction through structured meal patterns, stress reduction, and mindful eating strategies.
• Managing food chemical intolerances — such as sensitivity to salicylates, amines, and glutamates — that can contribute to IBS-like symptoms, headaches, or skin reactions.
• Recommending prebiotics, probiotics, and fibre adjustments to nourish beneficial gut bacteria and support bowel regularity.
• Addressing stress, caffeine, and hydration factors that affect digestion and gut motility.
• Correcting nutrient deficiencies (iron, B12, vitamin D) often linked to chronic gut symptoms or restrictive eating.
• Helping clients expand food variety safely, improving tolerance, comfort, and confidence with eating.

Our goal is not just to reduce bloating, pain, or constipation — but to help you build long-term digestive resilience, restore balance, and feel confident with food again.

Yes. We provide specialist support for lactose intolerance, fructose malabsorption, food-chemical sensitivities, and coeliac disease. Our team helps you plan safe, balanced meals, avoid cross-contamination, and maintain nutrient adequacy on a gluten-free diet.

Yes. Our dietitians support children and adolescents with feeding challenges, including ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), autism-related feeding difficulties, and restricted eating patterns.

Feeding challenges can directly affect gut comfort and digestion because a limited diet impacts:

• Fibre intake and bowel regularity, often leading to constipation or bloating.
• Gut microbiome diversity, since low food variety limits beneficial bacteria.
• Nutrient absorption, particularly for key vitamins and minerals that support digestion and growth.
• Sensory and emotional regulation, as anxiety and stress can trigger gut–brain symptoms.

Our team uses responsive feeding therapy and gentle exposure strategies to help children expand food variety at their own pace, improving digestive comfort, nutrient balance, and overall wellbeing.

Yes — we offer telehealth appointments Australia-wide and home visits in Melbourne, Bendigo, Shepparton, Albury Wodonga, Brisbane, and Gold Coast. Telehealth is ideal for ongoing gut symptom management and FODMAP or intolerance reintroductions.

Your dietitian will review your symptoms, diet, and medical history, then create a personalised plan to improve digestion, reduce bloating, and balance gut microbes. We also coordinate with your GP or specialist where needed.
