Digestive & Gut Health
Good health begins in the gut. Our digestive system does far more than just process food—it plays a key role in immunity, energy, mental clarity, skin health, hormone balance, inflammation, and more.
​
When your gut is out of balance, it can show up in ways that go far beyond bloating or discomfort. Many chronic symptoms can have a root in digestive dysfunction, and getting to the heart of what's going on can be truly transformational.
​
It is thought that up to 40% of the population in the UK suffer from digestive issues of varying degrees. Often these symptoms can become the new normal for many and can cause much distress. Signs of an unhappy digestive system can include:
-
Bloating
-
Reflux
-
Heartburn & Indigestion (GERD/GORD)
-
Abdominal pain and discomfort
-
Gas and burping
-
Hiccups
-
Slow and sluggish digestion
-
Flatulence
-
Constipation
-
Diarrhoea
-
Erratic bowel action
-
Nausea
-
Food reactions, sensitivities & Intolerances
-
IBS (Irritable Bowel Disease)
-
Diverticulitis
-
Gall Bladder Issues
-
Coeliac Disease
-
Haemorroids
-
Ulcerative Colitis
Working with Claire
As a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist, I take a whole-body approach to gut health—looking at your diet, lifestyle, stress levels, microbiome, and any underlying infections or imbalances.
​
We work together to understand your symptoms, identify potential triggers, and create a personalised plan to restore balance and improve digestive function. Whether you’re dealing with IBS, SIBO, candida, food intolerances or simply ongoing bloating, I’m here to support you with a clear, compassionate and structured approach.
​
IBS is thought to effect up to 25% of the UK population and many symptoms can be a result of microbiome disruption, poor digestion, poor gut-brain signalling, SIBO and stress to name just a few.
When our digestive tract is not functioning optimally this can affect our nutrient absorption having far reaching effect on other body systems and overall wellbeing. Other complaints such as hay fever, hormones, energy, headaches and immunity can be linked to our digestion. Did you also know that over 70% of our immune system is located in our gut? Therefore, it should be a priority to have our digestive system functioning in an optimal state!
​
Why Work With Me?
I understand that digestive issues can affect everything—from your confidence and energy to your mood and day-to-day life. They can be unpredictable, embarrassing, and hard to talk about. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to just “live with it.”
​
I combine naturopathic principles with functional medicine tools and practical nutritional strategies to help you rebuild digestive strength and create lasting improvements. My approach is gentle but effective, focusing on nourishing the body and addressing root causes, not just masking symptoms.
​

I support a wide range of digestive issues, including:
-
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
-
SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
-
Dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria)
-
Candida overgrowth
-
Reflux and indigestion
-
Constipation or diarrhoea
-
Food intolerances and sensitivities

Low stomach acid and poor enzyme function
​
Optional Functional Medicine Testing to Consider
Functional testing is not always necessary however it can offer deeper insight into your body and uncover hidden drivers of the digestive & gut health, including:
-
Comprehensive stool testing – to assess gut bacteria, digestion, inflammation, yeast, and parasites
-
SIBO breath testing – to identify hydrogen and methane imbalances
-
Food intolerance or sensitivity testing – especially in complex or reactive cases
-
Organic acids testing (OAT) – to assess yeast, bacterial metabolites, and nutrient markers
-
Zonulin testing – to assess intestinal permeability (leaky gut)
​
All testing is discussed in consultation and only recommended if appropriate for your health journey, and we can discuss this on a discovery call. You may wish to take a look at my functional medicine testing packages here.
