Repair Your Gut

How a gut health nutritionist can help you

Digestive symptoms can affect everything from your energy to your confidence. Working with a gut health nutritionist can help if you regularly deal with bloating, wind, constipation, diarrhoea, heartburn, reflux or tummy discomfort after meals, or if you have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or GERD and want practical help with what to eat. Many people come to me after trying to cut out foods on their own and ending up with a restricted, confusing diet.

Rather than guessing, we look for patterns: what you eat, when you eat, how you eat, your fibre and fluid intake, stress, sleep and any medications. Your plan is built around familiar foods such as daal, rice, yoghurt, flatbreads, lentil dishes and Middle Eastern staples, with adjustments rather than wholesale bans. Because some gut symptoms need medical investigation, I work alongside your GP or gastroenterologist and will always encourage you to see a doctor if you notice warning signs such as blood in your stool, unexplained weight loss, ongoing vomiting or difficulty swallowing.

What your plan includes

• A thorough review of your symptoms, bowel habits, eating pattern and medical history
• A symptom and food diary to help us spot personal triggers
• Guidance on fibre, fluids and meal timing tailored to constipation, loose stools or bloating
• Practical reflux-friendly strategies, such as meal size, evening eating and trigger foods
• Where appropriate, a short-term, structured approach such as a guided low-FODMAP trial, followed by careful reintroduction
• Gut-friendly versions of everyday South Asian and Middle Eastern meals
• Ongoing WhatsApp support to adjust your plan as symptoms change

What to expect

Your first consultation takes place by video call or WhatsApp. Before it, you complete a short questionnaire and, ideally, a few days of food diary, and share any recent blood tests. We go through your symptoms in detail and agree on a few first changes, so you can start feeling the difference while your full plan is prepared.

Follow-ups usually take place every two to four weeks. Throughout, we keep an eye on how you are eating overall, not just your symptoms, so that fibre, protein and key nutrients stay at healthy levels. Some people notice improvements in bloating or regularity within a few weeks, while others need longer, especially if we are working through a structured elimination and reintroduction process. Progress varies, and the goal is always the widest, most varied diet your gut is comfortable with.

Support is available as a one-month Starter package, a three-month Transform package or a six-month Complete Care package, so you can choose the level of follow-up that suits you. You can compare what each includes on our custom diet plans page, and I am happy to help you decide during your discovery call.

Common questions

Can a nutritionist help with bloating and IBS?

Yes. A nutritionist can help you identify patterns and triggers and adjust your diet in a structured way. IBS should first be diagnosed by a doctor, so other conditions can be ruled out.

Do I need to cut out lots of foods?

Usually not. Most changes are adjustments to portions, timing, fibre and preparation. If an elimination approach is helpful, it is short-term and guided, with foods reintroduced so your diet stays as varied as possible.

Is the consultation online only?

Yes, all sessions are held by video call or WhatsApp. This makes it easy to join from home, wherever you are in the UAE, Pakistan or worldwide.

How long until my gut feels better?

It depends on your symptoms and their causes. Some people notice changes within a few weeks, while others need a few months of gradual adjustment. Progress varies from person to person.
