GUT HEALTH NUTRITION CLINIC

Support for IBS, Bloating, Candida, Reflux/GERD, Constipation, Leaky Gut & Microbiome Imbalances

Personalised Support With a Gut Health Nutritionist

Digestive symptoms can affect far more than just the gut. Bloating, constipation, reflux or food reactions often come with fatigue, skin flare-ups, anxiety, brain fog and a general feeling of inflammation in the body. Yet many people are told “everything looks normal” or are offered only symptom-suppressing approaches.

As a gut health nutritionist, I use personalised Nutritional Therapy and Functional Medicine principles to understand what is driving your symptoms. Instead of managing flare-ups, we look at microbiome balance, gut barrier integrity, digestive function and immune triggers to support true, long-term gut healing.

Are These Gut Symptoms Disrupting Your Life?

You may benefit from personalised nutrition if you experience:

» Persistent bloating or abdominal discomfort

» IBS symptoms – alternating constipation/diarrhoea or urgency

» Acid reflux, GERD or upper digestive discomfort after meals

» Constipation or slow bowel motility despite fibre and hydration

» Candida symptoms (sugar cravings, white coating on tongue, bloating)

» Food reactions, histamine sensitivity or feeling “puffy/inflamed” after eating

» Brain fog, fatigue or skin flare-ups linked to gut symptoms

» Feeling better temporarily on gut-reset protocols but symptoms return

If you’ve already tried cutting foods, taking probiotics or following generic gut plans without lasting relief, there’s likely a deeper imbalance that hasn’t yet been addressed. My role is to help you uncover it.

Common Digestive Conditions I Work With

Many of my clients have received one of these digestive diagnoses or suspect them, yet still feel unresolved despite treatment:

IBS & functional bowel disorders
Bloating and fermentation issues
Reflux/GERD
Constipation or diarrhoea-predominant gut patterns
Candida and fungal overgrowth
Microbiome dysbiosis & poor microbial diversity
Leaky gut / increased gut permeability
Suspected SIBO or methane-dominant overgrowth
Histamine intolerance linked to gut health
Food intolerance & immune-triggered gut symptoms

Functional Nutrition allows us to look deeper than standard digestive advice and work on correcting the root causes — not just soothing symptoms.

Why Gut Health Matters Beyond Digestion

Your gut plays a role in far more than just breaking down food:

Around 70% of your immune system is located in the gut lining.
The gut-brain axis means gut inflammation can affect mood, anxiety, focus and mental clarity.
Skin issues like psoriasis, acne, eczema or rosacea are often linked to gut permeability and microbiome imbalance.
Hormonal symptoms, fatigue, joint pain and even autoimmune flares can be influenced by gut health.

You don’t need to have “IBS” to have a gut issue — symptoms like fatigue, low mood, headaches, skin breakouts or sugar cravings can all trace back to gut imbalance.

Root Causes People Often Miss

Most digestive issues are not just caused by food — they are caused by the state of the gut environment itself. Common hidden drivers include:

Low stomach acid – often mistaken for “too much acid”, leading to reflux and bloating.
Stress and nervous system dysregulation, slowing gut motility and setting the stage for SIBO.
Antibiotic or medication history, leaving microbiome depleted and reactive.
Leaky gut, allowing food particles to trigger immune reactions and inflammation.
Impaired bile flow or digestive enzyme output, leading to fermentation and bloating even with healthy foods.

Understanding your personal root triggers allows us to create a plan that finally makes a difference – without endless restriction or guesswork.

Book a Free Discovery Consultation with a Gut Health Nutritionist!

You don’t have to keep guessing why your digestive symptoms keep returning or why every new gut supplement or elimination diet only seems to work temporarily.

Many of my clients come to me after trying everything on their own — low FODMAPs, probiotics, digestive enzymes, cutting gluten or dairy — yet they still feel bloated, reactive or uncomfortable after meals.

In this free 20-minute call, we will:

» Listen to your story and current gut symptoms
» Identify possible root triggers such as microbiome imbalance, low stomach acid, stress-driven motility changes or food intolerances
» Explain how personalised nutrition and targeted gut support can help address the underlying imbalance so your digestion can finally settle and heal

There’s no pressure to commit, just a chance to get expert insight and see if nutritional therapy feels right for you.

Common Gut Health Patterns You Should Know

In Functional Medicine, we don’t just look at labels like ‘IBS’ — we look at underlying gut patterns. These are the common gut imbalances I identify in assessment and testing:

IBS & Functional Digestive Disorders

Recurring bloating, bowel changes and discomfort without a clear diagnosis — often linked to gut motility and microbiome imbalance.

SIBO & Fermentation Issues

When bacteria overgrow in the small intestine, leading to gas, pressure, reflux or constipation even from healthy foods.

Candida & Fungal Overgrowth

Yeast imbalance in the gut can cause bloating, sugar cravings, coated tongue and recurring digestive inflammation.

Leaky Gut / Gut Permeability

When the gut lining becomes irritated or porous, allowing food particles to trigger immune reactions, inflammation or skin flares.

Reflux & Upper Digestive Imbalance

Heartburn or acid sensations that often stem from low stomach acid or delayed stomach emptying rather than excess acid.

Microbiome Dysbiosis & Low Diversity

Loss of healthy gut bacteria after stress, medication or restrictive diets — leading to inflammation, food intolerances and reduced resilience.

My Approach to Gut Healing

Every person’s gut story is different, and that’s why generic gut protocols or elimination diets rarely create long-term change.
My approach focuses on identifying your unique digestive triggers and supporting your gut step by step using targeted nutritional therapy and functional medicine tools.

During your consultation, we will:

» Review your health history, gut symptoms and diet patterns in detail
» Identify possible root causes such as dysbiosis, low stomach acid, inflammation, or stress-related motility changes
» Discuss food triggers and tolerance — not just restriction
» Create a practical, personalised nutrition and supplement plan based on your gut presentation

If helpful, I may recommend functional gut testing to guide your plan with more precision. This may include:

Comprehensive Stool Analysis / GI360 – to assess gut bacteria, candida, digestive function and inflammation
SIBO Breath Testing – for bloating, reflux or constipation linked to fermentation and motility issues
Histamine / DAO Testing – for clients with gut-driven histamine symptoms such as bloating, flushing or itching after meals
Micronutrient & stress hormone testing – to understand how stress, cortisol and nutrient deficiencies affect your gut repair capacity

Here’s what the journey usually looks like:

Comprehensive Health Assessment

We start with a deep dive into your gut history, symptoms, diet, stress levels, medication use and past approaches to understand what may be driving your digestive issues. This helps identify microbial, inflammatory or motility factors contributing to gut discomfort.

Personalised Goal Setting

Together we clarify your biggest priorities — whether it’s reducing daily bloating, regulating bowels, healing leaky gut, improving food tolerance or rebuilding microbiome diversity, so your plan fits smoothly into your real life and energy levels.

Targeted Functional Testing

Depending on your needs, we may recommend stool testing (GI360 or similar microbiome analysis), SIBO breath testing, histamine / DAO testing, or hormone and stress assessments to uncover underlying digestive triggers that standard gut advice may miss.

Root-Cause Nutrition & Lifestyle Strategy

You’ll receive a personalised plan to calm gut inflammation, repair the intestinal lining and support optimal digestion. This includes tailored food guidance, microbiome support, meal timing strategies, stomach acid/digestion support, stress regulation techniques and targeted supplements where helpful.

Ongoing Support & Progress Tracking

We’ll regularly review your symptoms, test results and tolerance improvements, making gentle adjustments to keep your gut-healing plan sustainable, realistic and responsive to your progress.

Long-Term Resilience & Flare Prevention

You’ll learn how to maintain digestive health long-term, prevent flare-ups like bloating or constipation from returning, recognise early warning signs and support your microbiome so your gut stays strong and more tolerant over time.

What My Clients Say

“Before working with Dainora, I felt constantly bloated and uncomfortable after meals. I’d tried removing gluten, dairy and FODMAPs, but nothing made a lasting difference. Dainora helped me understand my gut triggers and support my digestion properly. Within a few weeks, I noticed less bloating, more regular bowels and I finally feel in control of my gut again.”

Lina M. / IBS & Bloating Client

“My reflux and burping were so persistent that I avoided eating out and always carried antacids. After a stool test and a tailored gut protocol, I learned I actually had low stomach acid and microbial imbalance. Dainora’s approach changed everything, my reflux settled, and my energy is back.”

Kate S. / Reflux & Microbiome Imbalance

“I was reacting to so many foods and felt anxious to eat anything outside of my ‘safe list’. Dainora helped me understand histamine and gut inflammation patterns, and we slowly rebuilt my food tolerance. For the first time in years, I can enjoy meals without fear or discomfort.”

Everything You Need to Know Before Working With a Gut Health Nutritionist

Can nutrition really help with IBS, reflux or bloating?

Yes — many digestive symptoms are not just about what you eat, but how your gut is functioning. By supporting stomach acid, enzyme function, microbiome balance and gut lining health, nutrition can significantly reduce bloating, reflux, constipation, diarrhoea and food reactions.

How soon can I expect results?

Some clients feel lighter and less bloated within the first few weeks once digestion is supported correctly. For deeper microbiome or gut lining work, meaningful improvements are usually seen over 6–12 weeks, with continued progress after that.

Do you recommend any specific diet for psoriasis?

No, I don’t use one-size-fits-all gut diets. Instead, we build a personalised nutrition framework based on your symptoms, tolerance and test results. The goal is to expand your food freedom — not keep you on restriction forever.

Can I work with you if I’ve already tried low FODMAP, probiotics or gut supplements?

Absolutely! Many of my clients have already tried elimination diets or probiotics but didn’t get lasting improvement. Together, we look deeper at why those attempts didn’t work and address the underlying gut function rather than just removing foods.

Do you offer online consultations?

Yes — all consultations are online and available across the UK and Europe. You can work with me from the comfort of your home.

What tests do you usually recommend?

This depends on your symptoms, but common tools include comprehensive stool analysis, SIBO breath testing, histamine/DAO checks, and nutrient or stress hormone panels. Testing is always optional and discussed with you before making any decisions.
