IBS Treatment
Our IBS treatment combines functional testing with personalised protocols to address root causes like dysbiosis and food intolerances. We use herbal medicines, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes to restore gut health. Patients receive ongoing support through consultations and tailored eating plans to achieve lasting symptom relief.
SIBO Testing
SIBO testing involves hydrogen/methane breath tests to diagnose bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. This non-invasive test guides targeted treatment plans using antimicrobials and dietary modifications. Accurate diagnosis helps alleviate symptoms like bloating, constipation, and diarrhoea through evidence-based interventions.
Functional Gut Testing
Functional gut testing includes comprehensive stool analysis and permeability tests to identify imbalances in gut flora and digestive function. These insights inform customised treatment strategies addressing dysbiosis, leaky gut, and nutrient deficiencies. Testing ensures precise, individualised care for chronic digestive conditions.
Digestive Health Consultations
Initial consultations involve detailed case histories and symptom analysis to create tailored treatment plans. Follow-ups monitor progress and adjust protocols as needed. Patients receive education on dietary choices, supplementation, and lifestyle changes to support long-term digestive wellness.
Personalised Nutrition Plans
Customised nutrition plans eliminate inflammatory foods and support gut healing through targeted dietary changes. Plans include meal ideas, recipe guides, and reintroduction strategies to identify food sensitivities. Ongoing support ensures adherence and adaptation to individual health goals.

After a 6-month programme with Matt I am extremely appreciative of his extensive knowledge, professionalism and the detailed, logical approach he took and shared with me in addressing my SIBO problems. At all times he kept me up to speed with my situation and was there to encourage me to stay on the right track and be mindful of a sensible eating regime throughout (and now, following) the journey back to 100% good health. Thank you Matt!

Even when there were a few unanticipated outside factors that came up, Matt was able to adjust my treatment plan so I didn't lose the progress I'd made. I've even referred some of

Coming from a medical background, I took the conventional medical approach, when my IBS symptoms, over a number of years, became too severe to cope with. My General Practitioner and Gastroenterologist addressed any potential diseases, and led me to the low-FODMAP diet. Amazing for symptoms but not a long term solution, since my diet was extremely limited and so not healthy long-term. My own research came up with SIBO as a possible cause of my IBS. Although SIBO has been studied for many years it is still largely an unrecognised condition in Australia, and so finding a practitioner that is current
