A different way to heal your gut.
Non-diet, weight-inclusive support for IBS, IBD, bloating, and the stress-gut connection from Registered Dietitians and a Clinical Counsellor.
Do you feel bloated or uncomfortable after meals? Do you have chronic constipation or diarrhea? Do you have fear or anxiety around eating certain foods? Do you see stress is effecting your gut, but not sure what to do? Do you feel like your gut symptoms are controlling your life? Have you tried low FODMAP or elimination diets without lasting success? You deserve to feel confident and comfortable in your body — without endless food rules.

This approach allows you to feel better and eat with confidence — without the harmful side effects of chronic dieting. Gut health is complex.

FAQs
-
In general, particularly with IBS, our tolerance to foods will change over time based on a variety of circumstances like sleep, stress, etc. When you are at a low point, you might find that avoiding certain foods might help you feel better. At other times, you might be able to tolerate them better.
-
Changing your diet is really hard. Restricting certain foods, even when you have a good medical reason for it, can make us focus on it more and want that forbidden food even more than ever. This is so common. Don’t feel bad. We have to be gentle and methodical when trying to change our diet. We can work with you to find alternatives and find joy in new areas of eating.

Yes, it’s true! Our mental health impacts our bodies. If we’re experiencing stress, anxiety, grief, or any other difficult emotions, we will feel it in our body. For some of us, we really feel it in our gut, so we will definitely have symptoms like pain, bloating, diarrhea or constipation during these times. There is lots of research supporting managing your mental health to ease gut symptoms!

YES! Changing hormones during a menstrual cycle and during menopause will greatly impact your gut. Constipation or diarrhea will show up at different times in a menstrual cycle. And a slower gut, or constipation, is often a symptom of peri-menopause.
