Nutritional Therapy

Nutritional therapy is personal advice on eating well, in which a practitioner looks at your diet, health, lifestyle and preferences. They then suggest changes to what you eat and, sometimes, supplements. If you have a medical condition or take medicines, check with your doctor before changing your diet or taking supplements. There is some evidence that diet advice helps with IBS, but nutritional therapy itself is barely studied, and food intolerance tests sold online are unreliable: see “Nutritional therapy: what the research says”.
