As outlined on BC Dietitians, Dietitian’s Directory, and Dietitians of Canada, I have considerable experience supporting several areas of digestive and gut health, including GI Disorders such as Inflammatory Bowel Disorders like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Celiac disease, as well as Food Allergy/Sensitivity.
II — DIGESTIVE and GUT HEALTH
I have considerable experience helping people with various areas of digestive health (gut health) including GI disorders, those with food allergies and food sensitivities, and those diagnosed with celiac disease. I offer the following four packages.
-
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Package
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Package
- Celiac Disease Management Package
- Food Sensitivity / Food Allergy Package
i. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Package
The Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Package is one of the Digestive and Gut Health services I offer. It is designed for clients recently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, or one of the types of ulcerative colitis (UC) to learn what to eat to minimize the symptoms during a ‘flare up’, and once the flare up has subsided. For those from different cultural background, as much as possible from a clinical perspective, teaching will use foods and preparation methods familiar to your culture.

ii. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Package (Digestive and Gut Health)
The Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Package is another of the Digestive and Gut Health services I offer. It is designed for clients who have already had celiac disease or Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) ruled out, or who have been told by their doctor that they have IBS.
Each person with IBS is different, so I will work with you so we can determine what triggers your symptoms. I will recommend an approach that I think will work best for you, and we can discuss it so you can decide.
Some people do well following a low FODMAP diet, others do better following a diet that improves their gut microbiome, while others do best with lifestyle changes that help them activate their vagus nerve to calm their gut. Sometimes a combination of these is the most helpful.

iii. Celiac Disease Management Package
The Celiac Disease Management Package is the third Digestive and Gut Health services I offer. It provides in-depth teaching for those newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease (IgA-mediated gluten intolerance) to learn how to eat to minimize accidental contact with gluten, or gluten-containing products at home, and away from home. You can learn about the specific material covered in this package here.

iv. Food Allergy or Sensitivity Package
The Food Allergy or Sensitivity Package is the fourth of the Digestive and Gut Health services I offer. It is designed for those who have — or think they may sensitized to certain foods. It is also helpful for those diagnosed with tree or grass pollen allergies, and who are experiencing symptoms related to oral allergy syndrome (OAS). OAS is a cross-reaction between tree or grass pollen allergies and specific fruit, vegetables, or nuts.

NOT SURE WHICH DIGESTIVE or GUT HEALTH PACKAGE?
If you aren’t sure which Digestive Health Package would be best, you can send me a note using the Contact Me Form on the tab above. Let me know some background and what you are looking to accomplish, and I will reply with some options in terms of how we can get started.
Or, you can sign up for an Hourly Consultation so that we can meet together to discuss your needs, and so you can see if I’m a good fit. If, during that appointment you decide to move forward with one the Digestive Health packages, any remaining time in your Hourly Consultation can be “banked” for a follow-up, once you complete the package.
Please note: At this time, all services are provided via a secure telehealth portal.
