Kirsten Jackson – Consultant Gastroenterology Dietitian and Founder

Hi, I’m Kirsten, a Consultant Gastroenterology Dietitian and founder of The Food Treatment Clinic.

Kirsten Jackson The IBS Dietitian

My number 1 priority at The Food Treatment Clinic is that you not only get the results you need, but you feel 110% supported throughout. It’s important to me to provide you with the tools to both understand and control your own conditions with confidence.

My own journey began in my early twenties. I suffered for years with classic symptoms, such as fatigue and bloating, and attempted to find a solution. However, I was dismissed by countless doctors and even diagnosed myself as a hypochondriac.

It got to the point where I almost gave up and accepted that this was just how things were. Not only was it embarrassing discussing my symptoms, but even more so when I was always just brushed off by these professionals, who had told me ‘it was all down to stress.’

I wasn’t satisfied with leaving it and became fascinated by the link between nutrition and the body. This determination for answers led me to the study of dietetics and I went back once again, this time using my professional knowledge on the subject to challenge the previous diagnoses.

Eventually, I was properly tested. And you know what? I was diagnosed with Coeliac disease. I immediately changed my diet and 10 days later, you guessed it – 0 symptoms. 

It’s important to me to outline my own experience, with the reassurance of being a registered dietician, so that you don’t have to go through what I did. I know that these symptoms are personal and often difficult to discuss. It takes a lot of courage and strength to talk about them openly. 

If you’d like to find out more about how I can help then contact me today, with 100% confidentiality. Together, we can get you moving in the right direction.
