Working with an IBS & FODMAP dietitian for treatment
IBS diet is one of the most complex diets to follow and to create. 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.

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.
The IBS & FODMAP dietitian can design a diet that is low in FODMAP foods. FODMAP are foods that are not easily digested in the gut for people who suffer from IBS. This specific diet is highly recommended to help manage the IBS symptoms. It’s important to follow a low FODMAP diet under the supervision of a dietitian because certain foods will be eliminated. An IBS & FODMAP dietitian ensures that eliminated foods are replaced with suitable alternatives to maintain nutritional balance. Regular monitoring is also essential to track progress, adjust the diet as needed, and ensure that the reintroduction of foods is done safely to identify specific triggers without compromising your overall health.
The FODMAP dietitian will assess your health history, ask questions about your symptoms and food preferences. She will then explain about the food to avoid and the foods to include in the low FODMAP diet. The meal plan will be adapted with the foods you enjoy and have access from the list of Low FODMAPs.
During the elimination phase the dietitian will ask you to make notes on your symptoms and report back to her.
In our clinic we are proud to offer ongoing support with the nutritionist and dietitian, so whether you are in the elimination diet or in the re-introduction diet, unlimited support with your designated dietitian is available.
