The IBS Audit

For when you've tried everything and you're wondering what's been missed.

A 50-minute in-depth assessment designed to help you understand why symptoms are persisting, what may be contributing to them, and where to focus next.

You've followed the diets, taken the supplements, had the investigations and tests, and been told everything looks normal.

Yet your gut feels anything but.

You're left wondering why your symptoms keep coming back and why your gut still feels so unpredictable despite your best efforts.

This consultation is where we step back, look at the whole picture, and identify what may have been missed, including the factors that are commonly overlooked when it comes to IBS.

Who This Is For

This consultation is designed for people who feel they've done everything they were told to do and are still struggling.

You may recognise yourself in some of the following:

  • You've changed what you eat, tried supplements, medications or other approaches, but your symptoms keep coming back.
  • You've had investigations and been told everything looks normal, yet life with your gut feels anything but.
  • Your symptoms feel unpredictable and you've started losing trust in your body.
  • You notice that stress, anxiety, pressure, travel, social situations or being away from home can make symptoms worse.
  • Part of you worries that something important has been missed.
  • You're tired of trial and error and want a clearer understanding of what's driving your symptoms and what to focus on next.

Why This Consultation Is Different

Most people who come to me have already been through the usual IBS journey.

They've had tests and investigations. They've tried dietary changes, supplements, medications, and advice from various health professionals. They've followed the recommendations they've been given and done their best to make sense of what is often a confusing and frustrating condition.

Yet despite all of that, they're still living with symptoms that don't make sense. Their gut remains unpredictable. Some things seem to help for a while, but nothing seems to last.

Together, we'll explore the factors that may be driving and maintaining your symptoms, including those that are commonly overlooked when it comes to IBS.

The goal is simple: to help you understand why you're still struggling, what may have been missed, and where to focus next.

What To Expect

Understanding Your IBS Journey

We'll explore your symptoms, how they developed, the investigations you've had, the treatments you've tried, what's helped, what hasn't, and the impact IBS is having on your life today.

But this isn't simply about gathering information.

My role is to look for patterns, clues, and connections that may help explain why symptoms are persisting despite your best efforts.

Many people leave this part of the consultation feeling that, for the first time, somebody has looked at the whole picture rather than focusing on one isolated piece of the picture.

Identifying What May Have Been Missed

IBS is now understood to be a disorder of gut-brain interaction, yet many people have never had the opportunity to explore their symptoms from this perspective.

Together, we'll look at the factors that influence communication between the gut, brain, and nervous system, including those that are commonly overlooked in conventional approaches.

This is often where people begin to understand why symptoms have persisted despite dietary changes, supplements, medications, and other treatments.

Connecting The Dots

I'll help you make sense of how the different pieces of your story fit together.

Rather than looking at symptoms in isolation, we'll explore how different factors may be interacting and influencing your experience of IBS.

For many people, this is where things begin to make sense and they gain a clearer understanding of why previous approaches haven't delivered the relief they were hoping for.

Your Personalised Recommendations

We'll discuss the most important areas to focus on moving forward and the options available to support your progress.

The aim is to help you leave feeling clearer, more confident, and with a better understanding of what to do next.

For more than 20 years, I've helped people with IBS find relief when they feel they've run out of options.

Many of the people who come to me have already tried dietary changes, supplements, medications, medical investigations, and advice from multiple health professionals. They've often been told that everything looks normal, yet they're still living with symptoms that continue to affect their confidence, freedom, relationships, work, and quality of life.

IBS is a complex condition influenced by the communication between the gut and the brain, the nervous system, and a range of factors that are often overlooked in conventional approaches. My role is to help people understand what's been missed, make sense of the bigger picture, and identify the factors that may still be contributing to their symptoms.

Over the years, I've developed a reputation for helping people make sense of symptoms that have persisted despite diets, supplements, medications, and medical investigations. By identifying what may have been missed, we can begin focusing on the areas most likely to help you find relief.
