Gut Health
Nutrition support for gut health
A careful, step-by-step approach to IBS, bloating and other digestive concerns, without unnecessary restriction.
Digestive symptoms such as bloating, pain, constipation or diarrhoea can affect work, sleep and confidence. Many people respond by cutting out more and more foods, which can make eating stressful without solving the problem.
Hamna's approach is structured and evidence-based. It starts with understanding your symptoms and history, then uses targeted changes and, where appropriate, careful reintroduction, so your diet stays as varied as possible.
Who this is for
This service may be right for you if:
- You have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- You have ongoing bloating, discomfort or changes in bowel habit
- You have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and want nutrition support alongside your gastroenterologist's care
- You have cut out many foods and are unsure what is really causing symptoms
- You want reliable information about fibre, prebiotics and probiotics
How assessment works
- 01
Symptoms
What you experience, how often, and what seems to make it better or worse.
- 02
Medical background
Diagnoses, tests already done, and medicines or supplements you take.
- 03
Diet and routine
Your usual meals, fibre and fluid intake, meal timing and stress.
- 04
Red flags
Checking for symptoms that should be reviewed by a doctor before nutrition changes.
What your plan includes
- First-line dietary changes based on your symptoms
- Where appropriate, a structured elimination and reintroduction approach under guidance
- Practical advice on fibre, fluids and meal pattern
- Evidence-based guidance on probiotics and fermented foods
- A plan to keep your diet as varied as possible
What to expect
A short food and symptom diary before your appointment is helpful but not required.
Gut health plans usually work in stages, so follow-up is important to review symptoms and guide reintroduction.
