can be a useful tool but 50-70% accuracy rate isn't good enough!

It doesn't know how to tailor advice to the individual. Some advice can be dangerous, let alone not accounting for someone's medical conditions and medications.

You probably already know (or can guess what I'll say!), that diet advice is best coming from a dietitian. Doctors refer to my team all the time as they often don't feel they can provide the advice and in-depth plans that we can - we're always happy to oblige. Working with your doctor is invaluable to provide the care you need and deserve.

Free NiMe cookbook available at:https://ualberta.scholaris.ca/items/fe23792e-0584-4d7d-a657-1392bad5880b

*What is the NiMe diet?*
It's the 'Non-industrialised Microbiome Restore' diet that is designed to help boost Limosilactobacillus reuteri.

That microbe is linked to health benefits like an improved immune system, better ability to regulate blood sugars, and possibly improve mental health:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8953724/

*Who should try the NiMe diet?*
Someone who is looking to improve their overall health and is keen to try 'from scratch' cooking. Ingredients don't need to be pricey - they can be bought at supermarkets or local shops (our local Asian market has amazing deals!).

*Who should be mindful?*
Those with fit conditions like IBS, IBD. Someone with disordered eating or an eating disorder.

This diet is high in FODMAPs which can worsen some gut conditions. A modified version of the NiMe diet can be advised by a dietitian, tailored for someone's unique needs.

Relationships with food vary hugely, our team are always mindful that health media can subtly put foods in 'good' or 'bad' categories which disordered eating latches on to and actually causes more dietary restriction and health issues. Principles from the NiMe diet can be tailored for someone who has a difficult food relationship with careful guidance from an eating disorders and gastro dietitian.

diet can help 75% of people manage their IBS. I always recommend the full pathway of reduction -> guided reintroduction to boost people's gut health (and ability to enjoy more foods!).

I'm keen to try products before I consider recommending them. Digestive enzymes aren't appropriate for everyone and not all are created equal!

These from India taste AMAZING!

I contacted the company directly and they'll ship to the UK. I don't have to ask my friend to add multiple bags to their suitcase the next trip over 🙌

Yes Dietitians eat crisps too. We're not "the food police" or eat "100% clean" (whatever that nutribabble is supposed to mean). The whole 'everything in moderation' can include things like crisps - food is about enjoyment AND nourishment. Sometimes I really fancy some crisps! I've not had tortillas made with beetroot before but I'm absolutely in love 😍

discount from Alflorex just announced via The IBS Network!

Just a note... different probiotic strains have different effects. There's not yet a test to state which probiotic is best for someone, it's a case of reading what the latest scientific research shows for that bacteria strain and aligning it with your client's needs.

Thought I'd share the discount in case anyone is keen!

I'm not paid by The IBS Network or Alflorex or Precision Biotics, nor do I get commission. Just FYI!

My thoughts...
✅ If it genuinely reduces carbon footprint (production, packaging, transport) AND improves animal treatment
✅ It matches or trumps the nutrition of meat
✅ It's actually enjoyable! Food should bring pleasure

I'd personally give it a try for the experience.

💙 I'm proud to volunteer for Diabetes UK.

This year's theme for our Diabetes Week is about encouraging and empowering people to get their vital annual health checks.

🩺 Living with diabetes can sometimes feel like it’s all numbers, checks and tests. I live with chronic conditions and can empathise! It’s easy to put the tests off, especially if you feel fine or don’t know which ones you need.

🏥 These regular diabetes checks are maybe more important than you might think....
From your HbA1c levels to your eyes, feet, heart and kidneys, these tests can catch changes early and help keep you feeling your best.

🙌 Staying on top of your health checks means staying in control and continuing to live life your way.

🤝Volunteering has been so rewarding.

Over the years, I've volunteered for Coeliac UK, The IBS Network, and Diabetes UK.

Each of these incredible charities brings people together, creating supportive communities for those living with coeliac disease, IBS, and diabetes. They help individuals better manage their conditions, provide trusted resources, and advocate fiercely for improved treatments and ongoing research.

Being involved has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges people face daily and the strength that comes from connection, compassion, and evidence-based care. I'm so grateful to play even a small role in this important work.

If you're looking for support or a way to give back, I can’t recommend these organisations enough.
