Gastroenterology is an area of medicine which treats conditions of the whole gut.

Often these conditions require special diets or changes to the diet and gastroenterology dietitians specialise in identifying these requirements and working with patients to achieve and maintain optimum health.

Conditions we advise on include: 

• Coeliac disease
• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) 

To be seen by a gastroenterology dietitian you will need a referral from your consultant or GP.

We see individuals in one-to-one appointments in both the hospital and in some community locations.

We also run some group education sessions to help people self-manage.

Please see also Gastroenterology.
