What should I know about the GI Nutrition Program?

Our GI dietitians are experts in food, nutrition, and digestive health. They help people with many different digestive conditions understand how food may affect their symptoms. Your dietitian will work with you to find food choices that fit your needs, lifestyle, and preferences. Together, you will create a plan that supports your digestive health while helping you enjoy eating. Our goal is to help you feel better, meet your nutrition needs, and eat with less discomfort.

What should I expect?

Your first visit will be about 60 minutes. During this visit, you and your dietitian will:

  • Talk about the foods and drinks you usually have. It may help to keep a food and drink diary for 2 to 3 days before your appointment.
  • Review any vitamins, supplements, or medicines you take. Please bring a list with you. 
  • Talk about your digestive symptoms and any foods that may make them better or worse.
  • Discuss food and nutrition changes that may help improve your symptoms. Any changes will fit your your current lifestyle and food preferences.

What should I know about GI health psychology?

  • Gl health psychology can help you learn skills to better manage your digestive symptoms. This care is based on research and is designed specifically for people with digestive health concerns.
  • GI health psychology is not the same as general mental health counseling or therapy. Treatment is usually short-term, with about 3 to 8 visits.
  • The skills you learn work best when you practice them between appointments. 
  • If you need help with depression, anxiety, or other mental concerns, GI health psychology does not replace that care.

What should I expect?

Before your first visit, you will complete a short questionnaire.

At your first appointment, the GI health psychologist will:

  • Learn more about you, your digestive symptoms, and your health history.
  • Talk with you about how GI health psychology may help.
  • Help decide if this program is a good fit for your needs.
  • Create a treatment plan with you.
  • Share helpful resources and tools.
