Our online IBS course is a fully comprehensive online program for anyone wanting to claim their life back from IBS. So what exactly is this course and what can you expect from it? 

Why did we develop an online course for IBS?

We know that access to managing your IBS can be hard to come by and expensive. You’ll often spend months on a waitlist to see a public health dietitian, and private dietitians can put a decent dent on the credit card. 

Research shows that approximately 75% of people with IBS respond well to a low FODMAP diet, with significant improvements in symptoms such as reduced bloating and abdominal pain, and normalised bowel motions. From our experience in working with clients, we have found similar results. So, whilst we recognise every individual has their own story, the management of the condition remains more or less the same through the application of the low FODMAP diet.

For these reasons we wanted to create a cost effective, reliable and trustworthy way to support individuals manage their IBS. This course does just that! 

Who is the course suited to?

This course has been designed specifically for those who have been diagnosed with IBS. You may also benefit from this course if you experience symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, loose bowel motions or constipation. If you haven’t been diagnosed with IBS, we recommend seeing your GP first to ensure the low FODMAP diet is the right option for you.

 

Who is the course NOT suited for?

If you tick any of the following boxes then it is important you have seen your GP or gastroenterologist first to ensure the low FODMAP diet is right for you: 

• Unexplained weight loss
• Family history of bowel disease
• Age of symptom onset >50 years 
• Blood in stools
• Anemia
• Persistent daily diarrhoea 
• Fever
• Nocturnal bowel motions
• Recurrent vomiting

We also recommend contacting us first to ensure this course is right for you, if have a current or past eating disorder; eat out or travel a lot; or experience any other factors that may make it difficult for you to stick to a restrictive diet for 2-6 weeks. 

What does the course include?

During this course, you are guided step by step through the low FODMAP diet and beyond, by Monash trained Dietitians via a series of online videos. With each module, you also receive downloadable resources to enhance your learning. There are interactive activities such a mindful eating activity, and we have a guest psychology speaker who presents on the gut-brain connection. You are given 6 months’ access to the course, to ensure plenty of time for you to work through and implement each module.

We have developed this course with clients, like yourself in mind. So this course is simple to follow and understand.
