I can’t recommend Martin highly enough! From our very first session, his calm, kind, and approachable manner made me feel completely at ease. He is extremely knowledgeable and efficient, and he takes the time to genuinely help you understand your gut health so you feel informed every step of the way. We had three appointments in total. By the end of our first session, he gave me a clear list of supplements to order, and I noticed a positive difference within the very first week! Now that we’ve completed all three sessions, I am slowly and safely coming off my tablets and enjoying a much happier gut. If you are looking for dedicated, expert support for your health, I couldn't recommend him more.

Couldn’t recommend Martin enough , I’ve been suffering with constipation for years and tried so many different supplements and remedies but nothing really worked and was sick of always going back to some kind of laxative. It was a journey cutting out food groups then reintroducing them to see what works but I’ve also been educated quite a lot which is great . Definitely worth doing .

I cannot thank The IBS & Gut Health Clinic enough. From the first meeting with Martin I felt reassured. He took the time to explain the gut to me, and has laid a solid foundation to promote my gut health. This is the first time in years that I feel normal, and comfortable about food choices. I could not recommend Martin enough, he is fabulous!

My son was experiencing painful IBS symptoms and missing a lot of school over many months. Gp's gave medication but not the cause. Martin conducted an assessment and advised on a range of specialist suppliments and diet adjustments to alleviate symptoms and get rid of the IBS. We found the process very helpful, easy to follow and very much worth it. Since working with Martin, my son has not missed any school and feels so much better- would certiainly recommend Martin and the IBS & Gut Health Clinic.

I really appreciated Martins gentle yet thorough approach in helping to restore balance in my gut. The consultation was thoughtful and very detailed, this made me feel reassured and confident regarding his recommendations to address the symptoms. All of Martins suggestions including exercises, herbal teas and supplements has good results and over the course of the treatment my symptoms have settled hugely. This approach has given me a renewed understanding of what can work and how to approach future issues naturally. Thank you very much!!

The IBS & Gut Health Clinic, and Martin in particular, have been incredible. Over the last few months he has helped me to overcome one of the biggest challenges that has haunted me throughout the majority of my life! Gut health has always been a major issue for me, creating difficulty in my work life, social life and general confidence and comfort. I have spoken to several doctors over the years about my stomach pains, reactions to certain foods, bloated stomach as well as the endless hours in the bathroom and it’s always been passed off with a completely irrelevant diagnosis. After my first session with Martin, he was confident that he knew the issue and solution - which he then proved. I am now 90% better than I was in such a short timeframe and Martin is still by my side and giving me guidance to push that little bit further. I can’t recommend him enough. I cannot put a price on the way I feel now compared to three months earlier! He focused not only on my food intake but my lifestyle, stress levels and much more. I’m now in a much better place and I’m focused on taking my health to the next level. I’m very thankful to the IBS & Gut Health Clinic and hope many more can feel the same way I am.

I have suffered all my life with gut issues. These were worsened by other events in my life. I have always suffered from constipation, as well as bloating and gas, which I believed contributed to my hormonal issues and fatigue. I’ve spent a fortune on different things that claim would help but never have. After 3 sessions with Martin I am now going to the toilet at least once a day. This is absolutely huge for me as I could regularly go more than a week prior to this. I have more energy and my hormones are more balanced. I can’t thank him enough.

After years of suffering from gut issues , I was diagnosed with SIBO and referred to Martin Cohen. I couldn’t have hoped to find a kinder, more thoughtful and caring practitioner. Thanks to his support, advice and supplementation, I have turned my life around these last eight months and feel well and stable. Along the way, I have discovered so much about myself, what the various triggers can be and how to manage those successfully. I now understand that there are more than physical explanations to gut issues. Martin also encouraged me to undertake gut hypnotherapy with overwhelmingly positive results. I no longer fear food. Now I look forward to going out to friends/restaurants, something I had not done in years without a great deal of restrictions and anxiety. I really cannot recommend the IBS Gut Clinic and Martin Cohen highly enough, I have made more progress than I ever hoped for with him! With my grateful thanks, France Sidebottom

I can't thank and recommend Martin enough, he has quite literally changed my life if I could give more stars I would! Bit of a back story, I have struggled with gut health for the past 12/13 years and it got progressively worse with more doctors visits than I can count, to be told it was just IBS and to keep a food diary and often times being told it was all in my head. I finally got an endoscopy referral after many years of refusals even though I had daily extreme bloating, pain, bowel movement problems, chronic reflux which was pooling in to my throat, i'd even been to A&E multiple times for very aggressive chest pains over the past couple of years! The endoscopy I finally got showed I had multiple ulcers, stomach erosion, gastritis and a small hiatal hernia but unfortunately all they could do was keep me on proton pump inhibitors which I had been on long term already. Feeling extremely lost, anxiety through the roof and not even being able to sit down most nights after my evening meal without being in significant pain and tears at lot of the time, I came across Martin a few weeks later and booked on to his free 15 minute call. From just speaking to Martin I could see how knowledgable he was and for the first time in 12 years someone actually listened and cared! I booked in with Martin there and then and it was the best decision I made, the initial assessment was very thorough and everything we spoke about made total sense, Martin even went over some of the more technical/science stuff with me that I was super interested in. I have been working with Martin for just over 4 months and when I say it has been life changing, I feel like i'm completely back in control. My extreme bloating is gone along with the pain including the chest and sternum pain and has been for a little while now, my reflux is now 99% under control too and I have a natural supplement while things continue to heal with that if I do need to use occasionally. I now have regular bowel habits and have managed to successfully introduce all food groups back in to my diet and I have no anxiety about any of them giving me symptoms, which is something I could only have dreamed of a few months back. I can finally enjoy a meal out with my husband and friends again and not be riddled with anxiety with every mouthful because I know I will be in agony later! Martin is very calm, a great listener and instantly puts you at ease, as said above he is super knowledgeable and well the results speak for themselves! I can't thank Martin enough for giving me my life back, I never thought in a million years 4 months ago that I would be in the place that I am now physically and mentally! My mentality around food and a healthy gut has changed significantly, I absolutely love cooking now and understand that it's not just about the food but stress and our environment how we eat etc is also a big factor, I truly believe this has helped me be a calmer person and has had a significant impact on my mental health and anxiety too aswell as my gut! If you are thinking about reaching out to Martin for support then definitely do the support he has given me is invaluable! Thanks so much again Martin and all the best for the future, I know who I'll be contacting if I or any of my loved ones ever need gut support in the future!

I’ve struggled with severe gut issues since I had a bad infection 10 years ago. I’ve tried going to gastroenterologists (private and on the NHS), numerous different diets and copious amounts of herbal supplements, none of them helping my symptoms. Since working with Martin, my symptoms have almost disappeared and I’ve been able to eat/tolerate so many more different foods than previously. Martin really listened to my full 10 years of symptoms and issues and was able to give me a reason for them and also provide supplements recommendations to heal my gut. I’m really grateful for Martin’s help and would recommend him to anyone that feels they’re struggling with gut issues and wants a normal life back.

I had struggled with IBS symptoms for 10 years before contacting Martin. I was suffering on a daily basis, leading to painful and embarrassing situations. He has completely changed things in every way. His plan has significantly improved my life, I no longer suffer like I used to and I am able to eat a variety of foods without symptoms. He has given me the fundamentals to carry on this way for the rest of my life. Thank you again Martin I can’t appreciate you more.

Martins advice and guidance was life changing. I suffered from bloating and was unable to eat a lot of food due to fear that it would cause me discomfort and bloating but after only the first session and his guidance on food and supplements I was able to Regain control of my gut health. Two months after seeing him I have not had any issues regarding bloating, discomfort after eating and have been able to reintroduce all foods back into my diet, including dairy which was a huge issue for me. Truly grateful for the help and couldn’t recommend him more.

My issues began after taking some antibiotics for a toenail fungal infection. I had tried the ointments first a year and they hadn’t worked. I was worried about taking the antibiotics because I don’t get on with medication and was told I would be ok because the blood tests I had done prior to taking medication were normal. I was supposed to take the course for 3 months but after 2 was feeling not right. I had terrible gas at night and trapped wind and couldn’t sleep. I went to the Dr four times and was told to take Kefir and mint tea. On the last appointment I was told to go on a FODMAP. I was still having terrible trouble so contacted Martin who listened and said I had dysbiosis cause by the antibiotics. He made a plan for me and I had different supplements to help me move forward. One year later I can nearly eat everything but now have a bone issue. Martin has now made a new plan for me to target the bones. Martin is extremely knowledgeable and has really helped me to get back to normal. I don’t think I would be in the position I am in now without his help.I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you

After an initial consultation and working with Martin for the last ten months I would highly recommend the service he and The IBS & Gut Health Clinic deliveries. With a professional and informative approach, Martin worked to deliver a tailor made protocol focussed around rebalancing and significantly improving my IBS concerns. Martin has a real passion and holds a wealth of knowledge when it comes to gut, nutrition and supplementation. During this period of time I have gained an invaluable and in-depth understanding of gut health and can happily say that by implementing Martin's advice and recommendations have seen fantastic results. Thank you again for your help Martin.

I contacted the IBS & Gut Health Clinic after exhausting my options going between the NHS and private Consultants trying to find answers to my child’s illness. My daughter was seriously unwell for 18 months after a viral infection which left her with long term agonising stomach pain, unable to eat barely anything, lost a third of her body weight and recurrent absences from school. We were in a desperate situation when luckily we came across Sophia and her expertise. She was sensitive, listened to all our fears, asked detailed questions about my daughter’s history and health and made a detailed plan for her straight away. Finally we felt like we were being taken seriously, and within a couple of months my daughter started to be able to tolerate more foods and her symptoms improved drastically. A year down the line she is pain and symptom free and has her life back. I owe you the world for your services and I’ll be forever grateful for what you have done for my little girl. Thank you so much!

Life changing for me - helped me find the cause of my symptoms and ultimately got me my old life back. Really friendly and knowledgeable - explained everything in a clear and accessible way, and I always felt listened to. Advice was always clearly reasoned and took into account my goals and budget. As well as addressing the root cause of my issues, we also made changes to my diet which mean I am healthier and feel even better than I did before my issues started. Thank you!

I worked with Martin over the summer to help with IBS symptoms I was experiencing that had been exacerbated by stress and other factors. Martin took the time to explain what was happening with my digestive system to cause these problems and helped me implement a protocol to assist in improving symptoms, whilst also suggesting I slowly introduce certain probiotic and prebiotic supplements to support my gut health. I have been able to re-introduce a wide variety of foods back into my diet that I had been avoiding and have seen an improvement in IBS symptoms. Thank you for your help.

Honestly, i was at the end of my tether and felt that maybe the stomach cramps, feeling exhausted and bloated was something that i was going to have to live with…. I’d had an emergency appendix operation 3 years ago which left me with a yeast overgrowth.. The treatment was antibiotics - which didn’t seem right to me as that’s how I’d got into this mess in the first place. I’d exhausted literally everything but still felt that there had to be another solution. Martin has been the solution for me. He took real time to listen to my problems and to outlined a protocol which worked quickly for me. I saw results within the first month and I’m virtually back to where i was before my op…. I would highly recommend him to anyone

Working with Martin has been a life changing experience. After years of suffering with digestive issues I am now in hugely better place thanks to Martin and his work. Not only has this helped my digestive issues but has given me a hugely more positive outlook on nutrition as a whole which I was not expecting! My diet now consists of natural, raw and unprocessed foods and I love my new way of eating! And it will undoubtedly lead to a longer, healthier and happier life all round. I still enjoy treats and but my mindset around nutrition has completely changed and I am happy to be eating so much healthier. Prior to working with Martin I researched various routes to go down and all I can say is if you are considering working with Martin and his team then do it as you will not regret it!

I paid for Martin's services starting in January as I was experiencing Gut problems including constant constipation and discomfort. From the first meeting Martin was extremely knowledgeable and was able to give me the information regarding how the gut reacts to certain foods in a way that was easy to understand. He set me out a plan of action including changing my diet and introducing certain foods and supplements and within 5 weeks my gut was completely different. I really enjoyed the change of diet we implemented and now it has become the norm in my day to day life. Even testing certain foods to see which were the culprits for my gut problems. Its changed the way I think about food and how I look after my body. Thanks Martin, Really appreciate it.

After many years of struggling with IBS flare-ups, I am now much more able to understand and control my digestive system thanks to working with Sophia and using the IBS & Gut Health Clinic resources online. Besides being well-qualified and experienced, Sophia brought a natural empathy to our sessions, consequently I felt very supported and motivated to carry out the Protocols she devised for me after each session. I am now finding pleasure in eating, consequently my life-style has improved considerably.

I have suffered with tummy cramps for years and years, typically having one attack every 4-6 weeks.. Finally, on the recommendation of a friend, I signed up with the IBS & Gut Clinic and Martin Cohen. After an initial consultation and gradual rebuilding of my gut flora, in conjunction with a structured Fodmap diet, I stopped having the cramps and have moved to an ongoing maintenance regime. It is now a year since I had a tummy cramp and I can say without hesitation that the treatment has been life-changing. I even have a normal unrestricted diet. I thoroughly recommend the Clinic to any sufferers from IBS or gut problems. Bill Holroyd CBE DL

I found this clinic while desperately searching the internet for help with my gut health. I’m a healthy active 43 year old, but my gi issues were effecting my lifestyle and happiness. I visited many doctors in the U.S. where I live, all of whom wanted to put me on PPI’s & other medications. I was told that I had IBS and there’s no cure for it, so just learn how to manage the symptoms. I followed a low FODMAP diet, but once in a while I’d have a flare up, and most often felt bloated. Before I contacted the IBS & gut health clinic, I was suffering horrible GERD symptoms and doctors were prescribing PPI’s. I took them because I was desperate, but they didn’t even work….because they weren’t solving the actual problem. Within days of my 1st meeting w/Martin I felt better! He recommended a temporary, somewhat strict diet, and a few supplements. The diet was an adjustment, but I ended up loving it because the food was delicious, and I felt better than I had in years! I wish I had found this sooner and could have saved all of the money I wasted on doctors’ appointments and tests beforehand. This is money well spent! Read the reviews and see ALL the 5 star ratings, that’s what helped me make the decision to call and I’m so glad I did!!

I can't thank Martin enough for all the help he has given me. For years, i suffered with digestive issues, which included skin issues, anaemia and b12 deficiency, abominable pain, chronic constipation, and bloating 24/7, and ended up with severe gastritis and appendicitis. I saw many different doctors and had all different kinds of tests and tried loads of medications, and not one of them worked, i never got any answers to what was wrong. After just 1 block of appointments with Martin, I could see such a difference. He showed me in detail how my digestive system worked and how to heal my gut with supplements and dietary changes. I can now say I'm 95% better and keep improving just that little bit more every day. Martin is the first doctor I've ever felt like I've been able to trust. I would 100% recommend Martin to anyone who is struggling with digestive problems, whether they seem big or small. He explains everything so clearly, gives you clear instructions on what to do, and always emails you back when you have a question or need help in between appointments If I ever need to see Martin again for any recurring symptoms, I will definitely be making an appointment with him, and I have full confidence that he will be able to help me.

I absolutely loved working with Sophia. She is professional and knowledgeable, but also compassionate and empathetic. This meant a lot to me when I was feeling so overwhelmed with working through my health issues. She never put pressure on me to do additional testing etc, but the test that she did suggest revealed useful information to me. My sleep improved and energy levels stabilised quickly based on her food guidance. It was a great experience working with Sophia and I would recommend her to any of my friends struggling with gut issues.

A very enlightening experience, which has given me a good grounding for continuing with my recovery and symptom management. I felt bewildered by the amount of information pertaining to my condition and that I was on a roundabout, just going round and round, searching for the solutions to help me. I signed up to three consultations with Amy who was extremely personable, knowledgeable, kind and understanding. Between the sessions, she was also on hand to assist with supplement or other enquiries. I have not achieved the 'Nirvana' that I perhaps naively hoped for but I have come away with a full tool box of things that I can do to help me. Including food based solutions first rather than medication has been great and I feel much better equipped to move forwards than I did before. Worth every penny in my view.

Working with Sophia was so refreshing. I had IBS for nearly 20 years and had worked with multiple doctors and nutritionists but no one really approached my problems with such confidence and ease. I didn't feel overwhelmed by overly restricted diets and huge lists of supplements. I was supported all the way through a very responsive messaging app and after 3 months feel great. Started to re-introduce more foods in my diet and can now easily cope with eating out without ballooning. I couldn't recommend Sophia and The IBS & Gut Health Clinic enough.

I have nothing but praise and very grateful thanks to Martin. I was desperate and very down with my bowel issues that had been going on for months. After several visits to my GP and several tests including a CAT scan she could find no explanation as to the cause of my problems or how to address them. After my first zoom meeting with a very calm and reassuring Martin and advice to take certain supplements and making small dietary changes, within 36 hours everything returned back to normal. I couldn’t quite believe it. I cannot recommend Martin and his team highly enough. And I always know that if things take a turn for the worse I can easily contact them.

I cannot thank Martin enough. I have struggled with stomach issues for 20 years which doctors diagnosed as IBS and endometriosis but was told repeatedly that there was nothing I could do to resolve my symptoms. I turned to Martin as last resort but as I hadn’t been able to eat gluten or dairy for years and had become sensitive to so many foods, I was hesitant to believe that we would be able to find a solution. However, after trying a few different approaches, we found the solution which has changed my life. I can now eat what I want freely. Thank you so much Martin - you changed my life!

Having suffered a gut infection 12 months ago which had left me with post infectious IBS, bloating, constipation and a number of intolerances, I contacted Martin Cohen at the IBS and Gut Health clinic. Although I had always kept myself relatively and healthy, Martin re-educated me on a more diverse diet plan, supporting this with recommended Prebiotics/Probiotic supplements, consultations and advice on resources to support gut relaxation. The advice, diet plans and supplements evolved over time I saw Martin, to the point now where symptoms are almost non-existent and I feel great. I can't thank Martin enough and would definitely recommend IBS & Gut Health Clinic to anyone suffering with similar symptoms.

Working with Sophia over the last few months has changed my life! I was diagnosed with IBS when I was 17 where it was just mild symptoms and when I was 29 it changed to these flare ups which I had no control over and it got to the point where it was affecting my day to day life, I had the camera tests and blood tests and the doctors found nothing wrong, its “just IBS” so I knew I needed to look elsewhere for support. I’m so glad I found the IBS & Gut health clinic! Working with Sofia and having her support through all the changes made it so much easier than trying to figure it out alone, for the first time in years I felt truly listened to and understood. I lived in fear of not knowing when my next flare up would be or what would cause it, the anxiety I had about this has significantly reduced. I’m still working out my triggers and what I can tolerate but I am more in control of my IBS than I have been in years and I look forward to continuing to learn and building on the knowledge I have been given and hopefully one day no longer live in fear of my IBS. Thanks Sophia and the IBS&Gut Health Clinic for helping me take back control of my digestive system and helping me feel so much better.

Crohn’s Disease is one of the two major chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, the other being Ulcerative Colitis.

The most common symptoms are:
  • persistent diarrhoea
  • abdominal pain and cramping
  • blood in the stool
  • weight loss
  • fever
As well as:
  • feeling sick (nausea)
  • joint pain
  • inflammation in the eye
  • mouth ulcers
  • rashes on the legs (erythema nodosum)

Support for Crohn’s Disease

While we cannot technically say we can cure Crohn’s Disease, the approach is aimed at supporting your body to achieve and sustain a state of remission.

Dietary

While diet is the main focus there isn’t a one size fits all approach. Clinically researched dietary templates are used and adjusted to the individual.

Reduce Oxidative Stress

Increased oxidation may contribute to injury to tissue is Crohn’s. By supporting our natural antioxidant defenses, we aim to reduce tissue injury and support healing.

Mucosal Healing

Supporting the lining of the gut (the mucosa) has been associated with reduced disease activity, longer duration of remission, and a decreased need for surgery.

Correct Nutrient Deficiencies

As the gut lining is often compromised in Crohn’s absorption of key nutrients may be impaired which may alter the disease.

Gut Health Testing

Additional testing can offer the most comprehensive insight into the digestive system.

These offer actionable information to help us understand what’s happening inside the digestive system on a bacterial and immunological level.

The following are tests that can help with offering a clear insight into the digestive system.

  • Vitamin D – A key nutrient to support the gut lining.
  • SIBO Breath Test – Approximately 30% of those with Crohn’s also have a bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine known as SIBO.
  • Microbiome analysis – The composition of the bacteria in the large intestine can offer insight and guidance on how to approach your condition.
  • Food intolerances – The removal of IgG food intolerances can improve symptoms and lead to longer periods of time spent in remission.

IBS and SIBO

IBS is an umbrella term that describes someone’s symptoms. Within this, there are 4 subtypes of IBS.  IBS with diarrhoea, IBS with constipation, IBS with a mix between the 2 and IBS with unclassified bowel movements.

Even though these subtypes give a clearer indication of someone’s symptoms, they go no further to inform us what the underlying issue is.

If you have a diagnosis of IBS we will work to identify and address the underlying issue with the aim of resolving your symptoms.

The SIBO tests measure 2 types of gas, hydrogen and methane. If there are elevations in 1 of these gases, we can name that Hydrogen or Methane SIBO. It’s also possible to have elevations in both gases.

The type of gas that is elevated helps to guide supplement protocols to target the specific organisms that produce that type of gas.

A third type of gas, hydrogen sulfide, can also be produced by gut bacteria. However, it is not currently possible to test for this gas in the UK.

There are 3 components to a supplement protocol to address the elevated bacteria in SIBO.  These can include a combination of probiotics, prebiotics, and antimicrobial herbs.

Depending on the underlying issue (eg. the reasons why the bacteria are there in the first place), additional supplements may be suggested.

SIBO is a bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine with several underlying causes. If we address the underlying cause we are aiming to fully resolve symptoms.

This SIBO test may be offered through the NHS, however, it’s not uncommon for the waiting time for this test to be several months.

By ordering directly from the laboratory, we are able to have the test sent to your home within 3-5 days. The results will be back 7-10 days after the laboratory has received the samples.

Supplements

Supplements are not always needed and their requirement depends on your individual case.

We will discuss appropriate options with you at your first consultation.

The duration of a supplement protocol will vary on your symptoms, the underlying imbalance and any additional factors that may be contributing to your digestive issues.

Generally speaking, 8 weeks is an average time to be on a specific supplement protocol. Following this, a maintenance protocol may be recommended.

The supplements we recommend vary depending on your specific situation and set of symptoms. Common recommendations include probiotics, specific herbal extracts to help rebalance and modify the gut bacteria as well as beneficial, gut-friendly prebiotics.

We direct you to the specific supplements and brands that we know and trust.

Qualifications

We are not doctors and can therefore not officially diagnose your condition.

However, as with the diagnosis of IBS, labels may not always be helpful. By digging deeper and identifying and addressing the underlying imbalances we aim to bring symptoms under control.

We are fully insured Registered Nutritional Therapists with membership through BANT and CNHC, the main governing bodies within the UK.

Consultations

The initial consultation is 90 minutes long. Here we talk about your symptoms in depth, how and when they started, other contributing factors as well as your current diet and lifestyle.

From this consultation, you will receive your health plan. This will include detailed dietary suggestions, a supplement protocol, recommendations for further testing as well and appropriate lifestyle recommendations.

From this point, we suggest a follow-up appointment every 4-6 weeks to monitor progress and update your health plan.

We find many people can have questions about the approach we take. This is why we offer free 15-minute consultations which can be booked by clicking here.

It is also possible to book for the first in-depth consultation without booking the 15-minute consultation by clicking here.

We understand this can feel like a big step and you might not be sure if this is the right approach.

To watch interviews with previous clients click here.

We also offer free 15-minute consultations. This is an initial assessment with one of the team where we will explain our consultation process and answer any questions you may have. You can book this here.

Without knowing more about your specific symptoms this is a hard question to answer.

However, generally speaking, the majority of those that we support typically need 3 consultations, over a 2-3 month period. In more complex cases, longer-term support is also provided.

There are several approaches that often offer symptom relief over a matter of days. While these are not long-term approaches, they can be a way to help ease symptoms and help you feel more comfortable as the underlying issues are identified and addressed.

Alongside these short-term interventions to calm symptoms, we are working to address the underlying issues.

The metric of progress that we use is wanting to see a significant improvement over the treatment window (the time being consultations).

Consultation packages cost £595, for a 3 consultation, in-depth support process, with a payment plan available
