Australian psychologists can gain valuable insights into supporting patients experiencing digestive difficulties, such as IBS, through intuitive eating. Learn from dietitian Gayle Landau how to approach eating habits with curiosity, questioning the necessity of restrictive diets and exploring the integration of intuitive eating for improved patient outcomes. This CEU-accredited content offers a fresh perspective on digestive and mental health.
How should professionals in the nutritional field approach patients presenting with digestive difficulties, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome or general digestive discomfort? Should patients be prescribed quite specific diets to address these difficulties, with the implication that some foods exacerbate the difficulties and others ameliorate them? Does intuitive eating fit into the treatment of such patients, and if so, how? Registered dietician Gayle Landau takes us back to basics, and encourages a stance of curiosity rather than judgment when discussing patients' eating habits.
