Medical Nutrition Therapy for
GI Conditions
Achieving and maintaining good nutrition is a key part of managing gastrointestinal conditions. Medical nutrition therapy supports digestive health, energy levels, and immune function while reducing the risk of vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
GI nutrition care focuses on improving symptoms while supporting overall wellness and long-term gut health.
Daily Strategies That Support Digestive Health
There are several ways you can improve gastrointestinal health, including:
- Reduce stress. Chronic stress can contribute to indigestion and GI symptoms.
- Stay active. Regular movement supports healthy digestion and bowel function.
- Get enough fiber. Fiber intake plays a key role in gut motility and microbiome balance.
Why Work With a Dietitian for GI Conditions?

- Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
- Diverticulitis

Evidence Based Medical Nutrition Therapy for GI Symptoms
To reduce GI symptoms and improve digestion, our dietitians use evidence-based medical nutrition therapy. Nutrition strategies may include low FODMAP, elimination diets, fiber modification, or gluten-free approaches based on individual needs.
During nutrition consultations, clients meet with an RDN to review diagnosis, symptoms, dietary intake, lifestyle factors, and daily routines. Recommendations focus on practical changes that support symptom relief while maintaining nutritional adequacy.
Most importantly, dietitians tailor plans around foods clients can enjoy. Guidance supports eating at home, at work, and while dining out, all while minimizing digestive discomfort.
Poor gut health can affect physical comfort, energy levels, and mental well-being. If you are experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms or want to improve digestive health, schedule an initial consultation with Nutrition HealthWorks.
