I have just worked with Kirsty 1-2-1 and I have to say she was fantastic. I have suffered with IBS most of my life and I now know how to minimise the symptoms.
Working with Kirsty has given me the confidence to manage my symptoms and make changes which have improved my life.

Highly recommend for IBS sufferers
Joining the Take Control Course is one of the best decisions I have made in my adult life. For several years I have struggled with IBS and felt lost and frustrated that I might never have a grasp on my gut and digestion. I tried various supplements, diets, and protocols on my own, and my GI Dr simply told me to try low FODMAP diet and limit stress. Nothing provided long term relief, and I was left overwhelmed. After having a baby, my symptoms went crazy and I was finally at my wits end and signed up to join. The Take Control course defined IBS, provided guidance for obtaining a proper diagnosis, outlined key lifestyle foundations for a healthy gut, clearly walked through the low FODMAP diet and reintroduced phase, and explained additional research backed strategies for effective management of IBS. On top of all this, and one big reason this course sets itself apart, I was able to join weekly calls or write it regarding ANY question I had throughout the process, and I now how have lifetime access to a group where I can continue to seek professional help and talk with others who are in the same boat. I can’t quite explain the relief and peace of mind this gives me knowing I will always be able to touch base with people who are interested in helping me and who respond so promptly! Doing the low FODMAP process is no joke and can be confusing, and having professional help is in my opinion one of the keys to its success. Because of this course I was able to identify the foods that triggered symptoms (which ended up being fewer than I was expecting to my surprise), and move forward with practical daily tools to maintain a functioning gut. I am so grateful I pulled the plug and joined and would recommend it to anyone who has or suspects IBS and wants to finally get to the bottom of things!

I finally feel I can manage my symptoms with confidence
Joining the Take Control Programme was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. That may sound like an exaggeration, but I’ve lived with ibs for so long, (I’m 67) putting up with the feeling of fear, anxiety, stress and pain when I had to step outside of my home for work, travel, socialising. Dreading the bloat and oncoming pain which meant the embarrassment of finding a toilet to rush to. Hoping no one was there.
So I came across you on Instagram and followed you for a while. You understood. You suffered this yourself. And I took the plunge and joined the course.
I never understood what was happening to my gut before or why and how certain foods triggered symptoms. Also how lifestyle choices could impact my gut brain axis. But the Take Control Programme takes you through each stage of going back to a low FODMAP base level and reintroducing slowly potential trigger foods. Therefore recognising which foods to avoid and how to manage your diet and lifestyle moving forward.
I just want to tell someone out there suffering, if you’re thinking “shall I do it?” Do it!! Take part in the course. I’m moving forward with so much more knowledge, understanding and confidence that I can finally manage my symptoms.

Kirsten is a blessing!
Kirsten is a blessing. My doctors were providing me with generic flyers about my new IBS diagnosis, but I was doing shift work for 60 hours a week and desperate for individualized care. Kirsten helped me to manage my exercise, sleep, meditation and diet, as well as figure out my trigger foods, all while being just so superbly kind and professional. I now feel informed, empowered, and best of all: well! I am immensely grateful for her expertise and guidance.

Life changing!
Kirsten is great and you really will not regret signing up for her help! I did the private sessions and she made me feel immediately comfortable and completely understood what my aims were. The solutions to my issues were things that I would have been very unlikely to figure out myself and with her guidance I didn’t actually need to do the full low FODMAP diet or anything particularly restrictive to make a massive difference. Although it is an investment, if you’re like me and have just been putting up with gut symptoms for years and years, I’d urge you to go for it.

Kirsten’s Take Control course a must for IBS
Kirsten’s Take Control course has been so helpful and enlightening. The course offers so much information, support and resources. I learned so much about my IBS and symptoms and got plugged into a community of support, something I had never had before. I cannot recommend this course highly enough for anyone suffering from IBS! Thanks Kirsten

life changing
It was a great pleasure to work with Kirsten. I’m truly beyond grateful that I came across her Instagram! I was depressed and really desperate to resolve my issues when I started the treatment, and I couldn’t imagine that I would be not using any tablets for my IBS C anymore after the 3 month program..

Its truly life changing to finally be able to enjoy eating and nourishing my body, as well as to enjoy a lunch/dinner with family and friends without being nervous about it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

After suffering from IBS-D for over 30…
After suffering from IBS-D for over 30 years, and trying different diets and hypnosis, including trying to do the Low FODMAP diet by myself, earlier this year I came across the IBS Dietitian.
I did prevaricate for a while before deciding to get in touch with Kirsten as I’d already worked with others and not got a complete hold on my symptoms and the outlay was fairly expensive. Thankfully I eventually decided to take the plunge and contacted the IBS Dietitian and I’m so glad I did.
I spoke with the lovely Kirsty and for 12 weeks we worked through the FODMAP diet in a constructed manner. Because of timings on my part I didn’t fully get to work through the whole programme but Kirsty made sure I had lots of information to finish the course off by myself but knowing she was there at the end of an email if I really got stuck.
I’m currently having sessions with Cheryl, from the IBS Dietitian, working on the CBT side of things, as I realised that my IBS-D isn’t all about just food. I get anxious and my subconscious likes to dominate my thoughts at times, so by working with Cheryl I’m hoping I will eventually have this all under control.
Kirsten recently gave me advice, as I was going on a ‘Once In a Lifetime’ holiday and was really concerned about how I would cope. With Kirsten’s advice I had an incredible holiday where my stomach, for the most part, was really calm. I still had to be reasonably cautious about what foods I ate, a lot of chicken and rice, but it meant I could actually get on and really enjoy my adventures.
I’m not totally there yet with control over my IBS-D but I’ve come a long way from the beginning of my journey with Kirsten and her team and will now follow all the advice I’ve been given until my symptoms are fully under control. I’ve also bought Kirsten’s book ‘Take Control of Your IBS’ so I can look things up if, and when, needed.
Thank you to all at IBS Dietitian that have helped me to get this far on my journey!

I contacted Kirsten after previously using two other dietitian’s, that although helped, didn’t quite get to the bottom of managing my IBS.

Kirsten doesn’t just look at diet, she helped me correct sleep amongst other things and working together came up with a plan to manage symptoms as and when they arise.

Can’t recommend enough, IBS can really get you down and affect your social life, although I will have flare ups in future, I now have a plan and some knowledge and confidence in managing it alone.

I’m now also eating things and enjoying travel much more than I have in a while!

Doing the VIP program has been the best thing I’ve done since finding out I had IBS. Kirsten’s multifactorial approach is informative and helped me immensely. The weekly reviews helped me to keep focused and moving forward in the LOWfodmap process. IBS now lives with me rather than me living with it. 🙂

I was searching for a dietitian in my region to help me with low FODMAP diet, and i was lucky enough to find Kirsten. She was able to understand my lifestyle and food habits very smoothly and worked around my limited options when it comes to food.

She provided me with all the information, knowledge and assisted me during rough times with IBS, i am very pleased and happy with all services she provided and i cannot recommend her enough for all the care and attention to details.

Thank you Kirsten!

Thank you Kirsten and your 1:1 programme!
I am so glad I took a chance and worked with Kirsten, and I am so grateful to her – she has changed my life. After suffering for 10 years with chronic digestive issues and related symptoms where I was getting absolutely nowhere on the NHS, I am 99% symptom free after just 3 months with Kirsten. I only wish I’d worked with her sooner. I now have the correct diagnosis of a histamine intolerance, and am equipped to navigate this moving forward. I highly recommend Kirsten’s 1:1 programme, if you’re on the fence, you should absolutely do it! Thank you again Kirsten, so much.
