Kirsten Jackson – Consultant Gastroenterology Dietitian and Founder

Hi, and welcome to my company website!

I am Kirsten, a Consultant Gastroenterology Registered Dietitian and the founder of The Food Treatment Clinic.

I originally became interested in nutrition as a teenager – being a typical teenage girl, at the time, I was keen to get my then acne under control. Little did I know, that the underlying cause was Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Needless to say, after following the questionable advice online and spending £100’s on skin products, nothing changed. After the doctor dismissing me for several years, I FINALLY got my diagnosis BUT there was no further support. This spurred me on to find out more information and I soon became fascinated with the body and nutrition relationship. This then led me on to become a dietitian where I was able to use my own experience, coupled with professional expertise to help other women like me.

Throughout my University years I has been constantly tired and often bloated. Again, I went to the Doctor and AGAIN I was dismissed within minutes. I found the experience rather embarrassing, as though I was being a hypochondriac. This experience stuck with me so much so that even when I started having quite awful symptoms of nausea, loose stools, and stomach pain regularly in later years I just put it down to stress. Luckily, as I become more confident in my own dietetic practise, I eventually picked up the courage to go and push for the correct testing and was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease. 10 days after diagnosis – not a single symptom.

Having had these experiences and talking to others who are going through similar issues made me realise that there was a huge need to provide individuals with a more supportive and specialised service. These symptoms are really quite personal and it takes a lot of courage to share them with others. In order to get help, individuals need to be able to trust that they will get the support and outcomes that they need – not be judged or made to feel an inconvenience.

In 2015 I founded The Food Treatment Clinic – a practise where my number 1 priority is that clients, not only get the result that they need, but feel 110% supported throughout. I feel it is important to provide clients with the tools to understand and control their own conditions with confidence.

In my spare time I love to cook (I know – typical dietitian). You can see some of my recipes which are all either low GI or low FODMAP dishes on the blog page as I feel it is important to share these to help others.

If you would like to discuss how working with me, I am now proud to say that my tried and tested ‘IBS Relief Process’ has been brought to you in the format of an online course. To sign up to the waiting list, please contact me.

.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋‍♀️There are many supplements claimed to help with IBS symptoms but 1/ Only a few have been scientifically proven to help and 2/ These supplements need to be specially matched up to certain symptoms or they are pointless. Be careful when choosing your supplements to avoid wasting money and time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋‍♀️Your family may make unhelpful comments about your IBS or they may not even know. This isn't because they do not love you. IBS is just so difficult to fully understand unless you have been through it. So get yourself a tribe of people who have the same problem - they can be your support for this aspect of your life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🙋‍♀️Isn't it ironic that what keeps others healthy is your kryptonite? This can lead to a lot of anxiety around health and not perhaps getting the most nutrients into your body. Just keep in mind that what 'healthy' will vary depending on the individual.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
