Guidance
We will work together to help identify what you are reacting to and why. This might include functional tests to get greater insight into what factors are playing a role, so the programme can focus on the things that will make the biggest difference to your wellbeing.
Instead of just eliminating ‘problem’ foods – which leaves the door open to other foods in turn becoming ‘problems’, or may create more imbalances long term – my approach is to tackle the underlying reasons for the food reactivity using my framework for food harmony as a guide.
Getting ready to work with an ibs nutritionist
Before we start, you must understand that working to reduce reactivity to food takes time. This is a journey – not a race. In some cases, permanent removal of a particular food is necessary or advisable. However, if this is the case, I have a wealth of personal experience in following modified diets – which don’t feel restrictive!
Many times, the initial resolution of symptoms, or the identification of reactive foods, can require following a therapeutic diet for a period of time. However, even these diets can be varied and tasty! The long term aim however is to use this period to work on supporting the underlying imbalances that are contributing to your reactivity, so that in due course you can broaden your diet again.

“My daughter was able to follow the advice and took all the supplements recommended and felt remarkably better in a short time. She learnt what she could eat and what she should avoid... her periods have changed beyond recognition. They are now lighter and less painful to almost no pain and regular too. She realises that the food choices she makes has a big difference on how she feels. She knows how to adapt should symptoms come back and what to do…. Victoria was easy to talk to, explained things very well and instilled us with confidence that she would be able to help. Her instructions were easy to follow and we both felt very comfortable talking to her, especially my daughter who at 13 was discussing quite private information at times. I wouldn't hesitate to use Victoria again and would recommend her to anyone.”
