Gut Conditions

Are you experiencing discomfort in your gut? The spectrum of symptoms associated with gut health issues can be diverse, ranging from mild to severe, intermittent or chronic. These may include pain, wind, bloating, gurgling, acid reflux, constipation, or diarrhoea.

Such symptoms can significantly upset your everyday life and well-being.

Even if you have received a diagnosis of conditions like Coeliac disease, Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s disease, GERD, Hiatus Hernia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and are diligently following the prescribed medication regimen, you may still find yourself grappling with persistent symptoms that affect your quality of life.

It is crucial to address these concerns comprehensively to regain control over your health and overall well-being. We here at 121 Dietitian are the experts to help you.

Our GUT Health Programme…why pick us

Many of our clients come to us feeling frustrated after exhausting numerous unsuccessful investigations. Others seek our help after years of avoiding certain food groups due to persistent gut symptoms, yet finding no relief.

While avoiding certain foods is a common practice, if not done correctly it can quickly lead to deficiencies in essential macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Long-term food removal can result in feelings of lethargy, low energy, and depression and increase the risk of other unnecessary medical conditions.

Furthermore, medications you may be taking for conditions such as acid reflux can further deplete your essential micronutrients when used over an extended period, creating a harmful cycle.

Based on these findings, we at 121 Dietitian have developed various specialised GUT Health programs in Belfast to address these common, yet serious, concerns.

We offer bespoke programs for each individual, the Low FODMAPS diet may be included to ensure that your symptoms are resolved and your health is optimized.
