Are Leaky Gut Symptoms and Food Reactions Controlling Your Life?
Making Sense of Your Symptoms
Living with ongoing gut symptoms can feel exhausting and confusing.
Food reactions, bloating, brain fog or skin issues can persist even after doing everything “right”. Many people carefully follow diets or protocols, avoid trigger foods, and plan meals diligently, yet still find symptoms linger, fluctuate, or return. For others, the idea of another restrictive approach already feels overwhelming.
Many people bounce between doctors, tests, and restrictive diets but are left feeling unsupported. Too often they’re told that everything appears normal, or encouraged to stay on restrictive diets or rely on medication to manage symptoms. Rarely are they given specific expertise, a comprehensive approach, or ongoing guidance.
It’s easy to start believing that nothing will truly work. Understanding why these symptoms persist is the first step toward lasting relief.
This begins with viewing your gut not in isolation, but as part of your whole self.

A Different Way Forward
For many people, gut symptoms don’t persist because they haven’t tried hard enough. Often, they continue because diet-led approaches, supplements or protocols aren’t addressing everything that influences how the gut functions and reacts.
Your gut doesn’t work in isolation. It’s closely linked to every other system in the body, especially the nervous, immune and hormonal systems. And because the brain and gut are so interconnected, symptoms can be triggered or intensified just as easily by stress or emotional overwhelm as by food.
My Mind Body Biome™ approach, shaped by almost a decade of experience, reflects the most effective way I’ve found to support people with ongoing gut symptoms. By combining Nutritional Therapy, Functional Testing and Mind Body support, I help identify why your gut is still reacting. I look at everything that influences digestion, not just what you eat, but how your body responds, adapts, and holds stress.
Addressing any one of the mind, body or microbiome can be hugely beneficial. But it’s when all three are considered that we begin to see meaningful, sustainable improvements in digestion and overall well-being.
How it Works
As a gut health nutritionist, my work focuses on supporting people with leaky gut symptoms, bloating, food reactions, brain fog, skin issues, and other persistent digestive issues, understand what’s really driving them. This approach looks at the whole picture, including digestion, microbial balance, inflammation, stress, nervous system regulation, meal patterns, and the habits that influence flare-ups.
My role is to bring clarity, evidence-based direction, and a plan that works in real life, not another restrictive cycle to manage. When appropriate, functional testing can offer deeper insight into digestive capacity, microbiome imbalance, food reactions, and inflammation.
This work brings together nutritional therapy, lifestyle support, and functional testing with a gentle, trauma-informed, mind–body perspective. By addressing the gut as part of a connected system rather than in isolation, this holistic approach supports calmer digestion, greater food confidence, reduced symptoms, and a clearer understanding of what your body needs.

A note on Compassionate Inquiry & “Trauma Informed Care”
Long-standing gut issues are rarely just about food. They’re often shaped by stress, subconscious patterns, and the way emotions are held in the body.
Compassionate Inquiry, a therapeutic approach developed by Dr Gabor Maté, alongside nervous system support and trauma-informed care, creates space for these deeper influences to be gently explored.
Being trauma-informed means recognising that physical health, emotions and behaviour are shaped by past experiences. Trauma isn’t limited to major events, and this work is not about reliving the past or searching for something “wrong” with you.
Here, trauma is less about what happened and more about how the body learned to adapt during times that may have felt overwhelming or unsafe.
By incorporating Compassionate Inquiry and trauma-informed care within my work, the Mind Body Biome™ Method addresses what many other approaches overlook.
No quick fixes. No one-size-fits-all programs. This is structured, evidence-based gut health support that addresses every layer of your health.

Quick Q & A
-
Leaky gut refers to increased intestinal membrane permeability. a recognised physiological process where the gut lining becomes more reactive and less effective at acting as a selective barrier.
When this happens, digestion can feel sensitive and unpredictable, and people may experience symptoms such as food reactions, bloating, brain fog, skin issues, or flares that don’t settle despite dietary changes.
Rather than focusing on labels, my work looks at what’s contributing to this permeability. including digestion, microbial balance, inflammation, stress, and nervous system patterns, so the gut can be supported in a more stable, resilient way.
-
It’s understandable. You may feel like you’ve tried everything: every diet, every supplement, every specialist.
Many people come to me feeling frustrated after years of being bounced between appointments without real answers.My role is to help find the missing pieces of the puzzle.
As a registered Nutritional Therapist, I have access to advanced testing beyond what’s typically offered by your GP, helping to reveal things that are often missed or dismissed within standard care.
This work isn’t about blanket solutions, it’s about ongoing support, asking the right questions, and uncovering what’s really going on beneath the surface.
It’s more than a generic meal plan or a ten-minute appointment at the doctor’s office; it takes time, patience, curiosity, and compassion. -
Not always.
We start by understanding your symptoms, health history, and goals before deciding whether testing is necessary.
Functional tests can offer deeper insight when needed, but we only use them if they’ll genuinely support your progress, never as a requirement. -
Q1: What’s the difference between a gut health dietician and a gut health nutritionist?
A: Many people search for a “gut health dietician” or “gut health nutritionist” when looking for support with digestive issues like IBS, bloating or reflux. In the UK, “dietitian” is a legally protected title, while “nutritionist” and “nutritional therapist” are also regulated through professional bodies. Dietitians typically work within medical settings, focusing on clinical testing, diagnosis, and medical nutrition interventions. A gut health nutritionist or digestive health nutritionist often takes a more holistic approach, using personalised nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle medicine to support long-term gut health. I am a registered Nutritionist and Nutritional Therapist (BANT, CNHC), and my approach combines personalised nutrition therapy, lifestyle support and functional testing to address the root causes of gut-related issues.
Q2: What is a gut health nutritionist, and how can they help with IBS, SIBO, bloating or reflux?
A: A gut health nutritionist is a registered professional specialising in digestive health. They support people with IBS, SIBO, bloating, reflux and other digestive issues by identifying food triggers, improving digestion and restoring microbiome balance. As a qualified digestive health nutritionist, they have access to science-based strategies and functional gut testing which allows them to uncover root causes and create the conditions to reduce flare-ups and discomfort. A good gut health specialist offers more than just a meal plan - they take time to understand your history and lifestyle, and treat you as a whole person rather than just test results. This personalised, human approach, combined with ongoing support, is what makes long-term results possible. And because IBS, bloating and reflux often involve the gut–brain connection, in my work as a nutritionist specialising in gut health, I also address stress, nervous system balance and emotional health.
Q3: Why is it good to work with a nutritionist specialising in gut health compared to, or alongside, my GP?
A: Your GP is invaluable, but they usually only have a few minutes to focus on managing your symptoms or ruling out serious medical issues. A gut health nutritionist or digestive health nutritionist has the time to look deeper, exploring your history, lifestyle, diet and stress patterns to understand what’s driving problems like IBS, bloating, reflux or SIBO. While a GP may focus on diagnosis and medication, a gut health specialist nutritionist offers personalised, holistic support that addresses the root causes. The two approaches work best together: medical care ensures safety and oversight, while nutrition therapy provides the time and depth needed for long-term digestive health.
Q4: Can I manage IBS, bloating or reflux on my own, or do I need a gut health nutritionist?
A: While some people try to manage IBS, SIBO, bloating or reflux on their own by changing diet or using supplements, results are often short-term or inconsistent. A gut health nutritionist (or nutritionist specialising in gut health) brings expertise in identifying root causes, using science-based strategies, and applying functional testing when needed. More importantly, they provide a personalised plan and ongoing support that takes into account your history, lifestyle, stress patterns, and ongoing changes - something a “DIY” approach often misses. Working with a qualified gut health nutritionist means addressing not only diet, but also microbiome balance, and, when combined with compassionate inquiry, the gut–brain connection and nervous system support. This kind of guidance helps turn trial-and-error symptom chasing into long-term relief and lasting gut health.
Q5: Do I need to have in-person consultations?A: Not at all. Most of my clients work with me through online consultations and most find it easier to stay consistent that way.
As an online gut health nutritionist specialising in IBS, SIBO, bloating, and digestive health, I offer the same depth of support you’d receive in person.
Whether you’re searching for a London gut health nutritionist or prefer functional nutrition for digestion and gut healing from home, the process is exactly the same: we explore your diet, microbiome, and nervous system to uncover what’s really driving your symptoms.
You’ll receive a personalised plan, targeted nutrition for gut repair, and ongoing guidance, everything you’d expect from a private gut health clinic, just with the convenience and comfort of your own home.
