Gastrointestinal Conditions

Nutrition Therapy

Ready to get back to feeling normal?

Maybe you can’t even remember what “normal” feels like. Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders can be tricky and they can happen so suddenly. One day you’re able to eat all the foods you love with no pain, bloat or discomfort and it feels as though overnight all of those fun foods are off-limits.

You might not even have thought about seeing a dietitian for your condition. Its typical now-a-days to read self help books, follow the new diet trends, cut out your favorite foods and basically self-diagnose and treat. By going down this path, you are likely causing more pain and distress to your gut and wasting your time and energy on this uphill battle.

How can we help?

GI disorders require a lot of critical thinking, trial and error and working with a multi-disciplinary team of specialists. Your gut is like a second brain— ever heard this expression? There is one nerve, the vagus nerve, that travels from your brain to your gut so when your gut is not feeling good, this disrupts mental clarity and vice versa. If you are a person living a stressful life or struggle with mood disorders, your gut is likely paying the price.

Your gut being unhappy can be a constant reminder of your stress, or perhaps even a trauma you’ve experienced. Your GI tract takes time and attention to heal and it is hard to do this on your own or solely by reading information on the internet.

At Bamboo Nutrition we do not believe in diets. We don’t want to restrict or limit any of your favorite foods, rather, we will help you to understand your body’s needs, enjoy all foods and know how to incorporate them into your meal plan. We want to be your teammate, your support and accountability. Working closely with one of our dietitian-specialists, you will have more knowledge and understanding of how your body works and what it needs to support a happy and healthy gut for years to come.

WHAT TO EXPECT | INITIAL SESSION

90 MINUTES

During your initial visit, we will discuss initial paper-work and go through your treatment history, nutrition and health journey, current state, and where you’d like to be. We will review your goals, level of motivation and support system. It is okay if you do not know where you’d like to begin, we will help you get started. Together we will set goals and lay the blueprints for how to heal your gut or manage your condition. From this point forward we are partners and our only goal is to help you feel confident and energized!
