IBS treatment
IBS diet is one of the most complex diets to follow. The dietitian needs to create a plan carefully calculated to have all nutrients, but at the same time eliminating foods that the patients dislikes, food allergies, food intolerances and to include only low FODMAP foods. How does it work, then?
The IBS dietitian creates a tailored meal plan based on individual’s food preferences, considering any likes and dislikes.
The dietitian will request tests for food intolerances and allergies, which is very efficient for IBS, if necessary.
Low-FODMAP Diet Guidance: the dietitian provides a step-by-step guidance on following a low-FODMAP diet and elimination diet which can significantly reduce symptoms for many IBS sufferers.
Nutritional Balance: the dietitian will ensure that the diet remains balanced and nutritionally adequate, even with restrictions. Supplements might be necessary.
Symptom Tracking and Management:
We offer tools and support for tracking food intake and symptoms to identify patterns and triggers.
Stress Management Techniques:
Incorporating relaxation methods such as mindfulness, yoga, and other stress-reducing techniques to help manage IBS symptoms.
Ongoing Support and Education:
We provide regular follow-ups to adjust the dietary plan as needed and educate you about IBS, helping you understand your condition better.

Book NowFAQs for IBS treatment
For some people IBS symptoms are mild, but for most, it can be very distressing. If your symptoms are causing distress and affecting your daily life, then a IBS dietitian will be the right health professional to help you to manage and relief the symptoms. At Raquel Britzke clinic, the dietitians are expert in designing effective treatment plans for IBS.
The best diet for IBS treatment is the low FODMAP diet, however, as we have seen in practice for more than 15 years at Raquel Britzke Clinic in London, taking a food intolerance test and doing the LOW FODMAP diet combined is much more effective.
The low FODMAP diet for IBS is an elimination diet and should be supervised by a dietitian. It lasts for about 4-6 weeks.
