(08) 6110 0570admin@pdchealthhub.com.auGuided low FODMAP diet support from an Accredited Practising Dietitian for irritable bowel symptoms, with elimination, reintroduction and a personalised diet.
The low FODMAP diet is a structured, short-term eating plan used to work out which fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs) trigger symptoms such as bloating, wind, pain and changed bowel habits in people with irritable bowel syndrome. It is not a lifelong diet and it is not a test for food allergy. Monash University, which developed the diet, says it is best followed under the supervision of a dietitian.1
The process runs in steps. First, high FODMAP foods are swapped for lower FODMAP alternatives for a limited period, usually two to six weeks.1 Next comes reintroduction, where foods are tested one group at a time to find your own triggers and tolerance levels. Last comes personalisation, where you keep a varied diet that includes everything you tolerate, restricting only what you need to. Cutting out foods for longer than needed can narrow your diet and affect gut bacteria, which is why the later steps matter as much as the first.2
Your dietitian will check that medical review is in place, take a detailed history of your symptoms and usual eating, and teach you the first step using practical food swaps and food lists, such as the Monash University FODMAP Diet app if you choose to use it. Importantly, your doctor should confirm the diagnosis first, because conditions such as coeliac disease can look similar. Do not stop eating gluten before coeliac testing, as it can make the test inaccurate.34
Most people use more than one service over time. Every service here works from the same shared plan, so you never have to start your story again.
Three steps from your first call to a plan the whole team can see.
Book online or call (08) 6110 0570. If you have a GP referral or care plan, bring it with you or ask your GP to send it to us.
Your clinician takes a full history, asks what matters most to you and agrees goals you can work towards together.
With your consent, your plan is shared with your GP and with other PDC clinicians you see, so everyone works from the same page.
Most of our services can be booked without one. You do need a GP referral to claim a Medicare rebate, and a Home Medicines Review or Residential Medication Management Review always starts with a GP referral. NDIS, DVA and workers' compensation claims each have their own paperwork. If you are not sure, call us on (08) 6110 0570 and we will check before you book.
If your GP has prepared a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan and referred you to us, Medicare pays a rebate for up to five eligible allied health visits a calendar year, shared across disciplines. Private health cover may also contribute, depending on your policy. We confirm what applies to you when you book.
Many of our services can be delivered by secure video call. Where a service needs a hands-on assessment, such as a foot or physiotherapy examination, we will book you in person at one of our ten clinics.
Your referral or care plan if you have one, a list of your current medicines, any recent test results, and your Medicare, DVA or NDIS details. If you use a glucose meter, CGM or insulin pump, bring that too.
Yes. A family member, carer, interpreter or support worker is welcome at any appointment. If you need an interpreter, let us know when you book.
Book online in under a minute, or call and our care team will check this is the right place to start.
