Kirsten Jackson aka ‘The IBS Dietitian’ is a UK consultant registered dietitian specialising in irritable bowel syndrome. Kirsten is fully trained low FODMAP dietitian and has incorporated this diet into her Take Control method that has helped 1000s of people with IBS.
Before becoming a low FODMAP dietitian, Kirsten suffered with IBS herself. After realising that the low FODMAP diet was only part of the answer, she developed the Take Control method which incorporates a more holistic approach to support IBS sufferers.

🥹🥹 It has been amazing to be part of Rebecca’s journey.
🥳 She shares her story in a non-sugar coated way, showing you what the Take Control approach can do for IBS.
🙏 I hope this inspires others to take action – it is not normal to have to put up with gut symptoms and it does impact every area of your life.

😅😅 This is the reality of working through our 3 month Take Control System.
🥳 Initially you will feel elated! Or even a little anxious but it a good way to – most people we work with have had IBS for a very long time and this is finally their time to get the support they have needed for so long.
😅 After the initial start you may feel a little overwhelmed because there’s some work to be done!
🙋♀️ But each week you are supported to take that one step closer to achieving your goal – not having IBS control your life.
🙋♀️ You are not doing this alone now and that is very different!
🥳🥳 And finally at around 12 weeks – you have clarity and you feel very much confident and in control.
‼️ This is not an overnight success but the system does work and we are here to guide you.
✅ Feel free to book and enquiry call if you would like to understand if the Take Control Process is right for you.

😩😩 It is very common for people who have a number of health conditions to feel like their doctor was unable to help them or did not really understand their situation.
💩 IBS is a prime example of such a condition. And this experience results in many sufferers not trusting any form of conventional medicine again.
🙏 Now the issue here is not with conventional medicine but with the professional in that system you tried to work with.
👩⚕️👨⚕️ Doctors are well trained to diagnose you and treat conditions where medications are needed. But they are not well trained (nor is it their role) in medical nutrition and lifestyle elements. Not only this but their appointment times and availability are also not set up to guide you appropriately.
🙋♀️ This is where a dietitian comes in – a dietitian has 4 years of medical lifestyle and nutrition training. We are not talking about just general healthy eating, but actual disease modifying or management advice.
😩 Sadly ‘alternative’ or ‘functional’ medicine is based on theories that are not backed by science at all and in some cases can actually be dangerous. Many practitioners are not regulated either so there is no standard being set. And yes not everything has been proven by science yet of course but then what’s the difference between this approach and me asking you to stand on your head for 3 minutes per day? Or turn around anti clock wise 4 times after you poop? Literally nothing 😅.
🙏 So please stay safe. I know you may feel unheard and helpless but your body deserves safe and effective care.

🙋♀️ This dietitian recommends you eat chocolate every day.
😅 And no I’m not being paid by big chocolate companies to say this.
🍫 Dark chocolate especially contains high levels of polyphenols which are great prebiotics and antioxidants for the gut.
❤️You can add this to a home made trail mix / snack on a bar / use chocolate chips in your baking or even in some savory cooking.
🙏 Thank you to @theipaper for including my tip.

🍵 Peppermint tea is often recommended for IBS support. I see it all the time online and even by health professionals.
😩 But this is where it is so important that we have a good understanding of how to read scientific papers and research.
🙋♀️ At The IBS Dietitian we do use peppermint but in the form of enteric coated oil capsules because this is what the research shows can help symptoms. Sadly, peppermint tea in comparison is much weaker so unlikely to have the same benefits.
🙏 If you feel like you have ‘tried it all already’ it could be that the specific correct science was not applied to your symptoms and this is why working with a specialist is so valuable.
