Common IBS & Gut Health Symptoms
Many people don’t realise their symptoms may be linked to IBS or poor gut health.
You may benefit from seeing a gut health dietitian if you experience:
- Gut symptoms linked to stress or anxiety
- Frequent bloating after eating
- Abdominal pain or cramping
- Excessive gas or wind
- Diarrhoea or constipation
- Alternating bowel habits
- Food sensitivity symptoms
- Stomach discomfort after meals
- Feeling “reactive” to foods
- Ongoing digestive discomfort
- Urgency or incomplete bowel motions
Lauren helps patients make sense of these symptoms with clear, personalised nutrition guidance.
IBS Nutrition Support & Low FODMAP Diet Guidance
One of the most evidence-based dietary approaches for IBS management is the low FODMAP diet.
Lauren can guide you through:
- Low FODMAP elimination
- Structured food reintroduction
- Identifying personal food triggers
- Gut-friendly meal planning
- Fibre optimisation
- Improving gut microbiome diversity
- Reducing unnecessary food restriction
- Managing eating out and social events
- Long-term IBS symptom management
Importantly, the low FODMAP diet should be individualised and supervised to avoid nutritional deficiencies and excessive restriction.
Lauren’s goal is not to keep patients on restrictive diets, it’s to help you understand your body, improve your gut health, and build confidence with food again.
Gut Health, Stress & The Gut-Brain Connection
Many people notice their digestive symptoms worsen during stressful periods.
Research increasingly shows a strong connection between the gut and nervous system, often referred to as the gut-brain axis.
Lauren supports patients experiencing:
- Stress-related bloating
- Anxiety and IBS symptoms
- Digestive flare-ups during stressful periods
- Emotional eating patterns
- Gut symptoms impacting quality of life
By combining nutrition support with practical lifestyle strategies, Lauren helps patients take a more holistic approach to digestive health.
