Dietetics (Dietitian Services)
A dietitian is a qualified health professional who provides evidence-based advice about food and nutrition to help people improve their health and manage medical conditions. Dietitians assess a person’s nutritional needs, eating habits, symptoms and health conditions before developing practical and personalised dietary recommendations. They can help manage digestive symptoms, identify food triggers or intolerances, address nutritional deficiencies, support healthy weight management and ensure patients are receiving the nutrients they need. Dietitians also provide education and ongoing support, helping patients make realistic and sustainable changes to their diet that suit their health needs and lifestyle.
The Role of Dietetics in Gastroenterology
Dietitians are an important part of gastrointestinal care, as diet can play a significant role in many digestive conditions. They can support patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), coeliac disease, reflux, constipation, food intolerances, liver disease and other digestive concerns.
Working alongside gastroenterologists and other healthcare professionals, dietitians can help patients better manage their symptoms and make practical, sustainable changes to support their digestive health and overall wellbeing.
