Low-FODMAP Diet Support
Structured, dietitian-guided low-FODMAP approach for managing IBS and digestive discomfort. We guide you through all three phases for lasting symptom relief.
Elimination Phase
The first step involves removing high-FODMAP foods from your diet for a defined period. Kristen ensures you maintain nutritional balance while eliminating trigger foods, so you can experience symptom relief without compromising your overall health.
Reintroduction Phase
Once symptoms have settled, we systematically reintroduce FODMAP groups one at a time. This careful, structured process helps you identify exactly which FODMAPs trigger your symptoms — and which ones you tolerate well.
Personalisation Phase
The final phase is all about building a long-term, flexible eating plan based on your individual tolerances. No unnecessary restrictions — just a personalised diet that keeps symptoms at bay while maximising the variety and enjoyment in your meals.
The 3-Phase Approach
Phase 1: Elimination (2-6 weeks of strict low-FODMAP to reduce symptoms). During this phase, Kristen removes high-FODMAP foods across all groups — fructose, lactose, fructans, galactans, and polyols — to give your gut a chance to settle and symptoms to resolve.
Phase 2: Reintroduction (systematic testing of FODMAP groups to identify triggers). Each FODMAP subgroup is reintroduced one at a time, with careful monitoring of your symptoms. This is the most important phase and one that should always be done with professional guidance.
Phase 3: Personalisation (long-term modified diet based on your individual tolerances). Armed with clear data on what you tolerate and what you don't, Kristen helps you build a flexible, enjoyable eating plan that supports both gut health and overall wellbeing.
Who Benefits
The low-FODMAP diet is most commonly recommended for people living with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional bloating, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and unexplained digestive symptoms such as excessive gas, cramping, or altered bowel habits.
At Hi Movement, Kristen takes a thorough approach to understanding your digestive health before recommending the low-FODMAP pathway. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution — but for the right person, it can be truly life-changing.
