Living with Gluten Sensitivity

Understanding Your Condition

In our 1-hour comprehensive initial assessment, we take a detailed history, diving deep into understanding your symptoms. Our goal is to understand the underlying issue so we can solve it.

Rule out Common Disorders

Many times, gluten sensitivities are misdiagnosed, and patients actually have a carbohydrate intolerance that was missed. We work to get to the bottom of whether you have an intolerance, or sensitivity. To learn more about the difference between the two, check out our blog post on non-celiac wheat sensitivity here.

Roadmap to Your Goals

From there, we will create a road-map of your care, both personalized and practical to help you learn to take care of your health from a place of intuition, empowerment and knowledge, build healthy habits, and fuel your body positively. We’re with you every step of the way.

Your Nutrition Plan

Typically we start with a food first, medication second approach often using a modified low FODMAP diet and other evidence based strategies.

The low FODMAP diet has been shown to help up to 75% of patients improve their digestive symptoms – and often times, non celiac wheat sensitivity is actually a fructan intolerance.

Please note this approach may not be best suited for your symptoms, so we will tailor our nutrition recommendations to your individual case.

Learning Your Triggers

After the first month we focus on determining – is it the carbohydrate, or something else in the wheat causing your symptoms? We reintroduce foods in a strategic way to determine if your gluten sensitivity is really gluten/wheat, or is really a fructan intolerance.

Setting You Up for Success

Once we’ve determined if you have a sensitivity or intolerance, we can put a plan in place to feel good long term. We want you to live the healthiest life you ACTUALLY enjoy, with as much food freedom as possible! This may mean a wheat-free diet long term, or may allow you to consume some wheat-based products.
