Gut health

Sometimes the gut can feel unpredictable, uncomfortable or exhausting to manage. It’s very common and many people who come to So Nutrition describe:

• Ongoing bloating, pain or discomfort
• IBS symptoms that flare without clear patterns
• Urgent bowel changes or constipation
• Feeling reactive to foods without knowing why
• Anxiety around eating or leaving the house
• A sense that their gut is always ‘on edge’

At So Nutrition we specialise in gut health, IBS and food reactions and can help you understand more about why certain foods may be triggering these symptoms.

We don’t aim to restrict endlessly but instead focus on understanding what’s driving your symptoms and supporting your gut in a way that feels sustainable and safe.

These challenges are particularly common in people with ADHD and/or autism and there are some scientific reasons for that including:

• Differences in nervous system regulation
• Heightened stress responses affecting digestion
• Altered gut–brain signalling
• Sensory sensitivities around food
• Irregular eating patterns
• Previous restriction or elimination diets

When the nervous system feels under threat, digestion often slows, becomes erratic or more reactive. Supporting the gut often starts with supporting regulation, not just changing food.

Our microbiome testing can be useful here, providing insights into how your digestive system and its bacteria may be influencing your brain and overall health.

We also look at food sensitivities, reactions and confusion and will often recommend our testing which looks at over 270+ antigens in different food and drinks, to help you understand which foods may be contributing to symptoms and which are well tolerated.

Our Gut Health Check and Personalised Meal Plan package includes comprehensive analysis and tailored meal plans to meet your needs.
