"Life changing help received through the Live Life Better program"

About: Live Life Better Derbyshire / Specialist Weight Management

(as the patient),

I went to my GP to seek assistance with food related allergies/intolerance and IBS which seemed to be getting worse. I think he knew that the fastest way to see a Dietician was through the Live Life Better specialist weight management service so he referred me (I also needed to loose weight).

Pippa and Mary have been so supportive and I was very fortunate that Mary (the dietician) had just been on a training course for the FODMAP diet (for IBS) which she had me follow. The results have been truly life changing for me - I did not realise that I had an issue with so many foods - and now I feel so much better!

I am very grateful for the continued support that I receive from both Pippa and Mary and would recommend this to anyone that has IBS/digestive issues and is having trouble pinpointing what not to eat.
