I've just started with Debra. She's helping me make sense of the baffling fodmap market and provided her specialist knowledge of nutrition to guide me in shaping my diet. Really good communication and support for my needs.

Working with Debra has transformed my life! I’ve had a dramatic improvement not only in my IBS symptoms but my quality of life in general. I’m sleeping better, have more energy, work goes more smoothly, and I’m feeling so much more positive in mood. Debra’s guidance has been invaluable, and I’m just sorry it took me so long to seek expert support with the low FODMAP approach. I had been avoiding some foods I love for many years, such as oats and chickpeas, and it turns out they were never my triggers at all! I’m now on the final phase of reintroducing foods with more than one FODMAP and am looking forward to incorporating the foods I’m fine with into my diet after that. Please don’t wait 7 years to get expert help like I did. I highly recommend The FODMAP Consultancy to anyone struggling with IBS.

I am very happy how my first meeting with Debra went I did have a few concerns regarding my diabetes and depression but she soon put my mind at ease saying these health issues would not be a problem with the diet The meeting went well and she went through 2 of the books she sent me explaining how certain foods were ok,Limited and not to be eaten Overall I feel sure that my stomach problems will improve

Wanted to follow up after implementing the Low FODMAP dietary changes Debra recommended — the difference has been remarkable. Symptoms I'd almost accepted as normal have either reduced dramatically or disappeared entirely, which has been a genuine quality of life improvement. Debra made what could have been an overwhelming dietary overhaul feel very manageable. The resources, the clarity of her explanations, and her ongoing availability throughout made it easy to stick to the plan with confidence. If you're on the fence — it's worth it. Highly recommended

Working out what my body was reacting badly to was almost impossibly daunting, but Debra helped me so much. It's made a huge difference to my day to day life and I've learned a lot. I really wouldn't have got through it without her.

I have just completed the elimination stage of the fodmap diet and feel so much better. Debra's guidance has been invaluable and she continues to support and guide me through the reintroduction process. Debra is warm, friendly, approachable and extremely helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending her. Update following all three sessions and reintroductions: Through Debra’s meticulous assessment of my results I am able to identify which foods are triggers, and to be avoided or limited. I have found Debra’s help invaluable and would not hesitate to recommend her.

Debra was very clear, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. She maintained a high level of professionalism throughout and showed real willingness to engage, even making space and concessions to fit me in. I’m really looking forward to continuing to work with her.

I have just had my first consultation with Debra and she put me totally at ease. After years of muddling along on my own, I’m now totally clear about how to proceed with the elimination phase of the low FODMAP, and am feeling very positive. Debra is extremely knowledgeable and tailored her advice to my lifestyle so I can manage this phase as well as possible. She has sent me very helpful booklets, recipes, and suitable products and websites. Excellent service.

You’ve just seen how many of Debra’s clients have found real relief and confidence again through her proven approach.
To show you what that transformation looks like in real life, here’s one story that stands out..

From Daily IBS Struggles to Confidence and Control —
A Journey to Lasting Relief

When this client first reached out, IBS had taken over her life. The bloating, abdominal pain, and unpredictable bathroom visits made work and social activities exhausting. She’d tried countless diets and medications, but nothing brought consistent relief.

After discovering the low FODMAP diet, she sought expert support and began working with Debra. Together, they tailored a structured plan that fit her busy schedule, including easy meal ideas, practical label-reading tips, and ongoing guidance to stay on track.

Within weeks, she noticed a dramatic difference. Her bloating reduced, her energy returned, and her days no longer revolved around symptoms. For the first time, she felt in control of her body — not ruled by it.

Now, she enjoys food again without fear, manages social events with ease, and has built a healthier, more confident relationship with eating.
