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.

We are so grateful for Martin's help in resolving my son's IBS issues.  My son had numerous medical tests, examinations and scans, which offered no solution or improvement to his symptoms.  The symptoms were badly affecting his daily life.  Martin's caring and thorough analyses and recommendations identified the problem, and my son no longer suffers his symptoms.  We have nothing but praise for Martin and wouldn't hesitate in recommending him.  Thank you.

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. Thank you again Martin Janice Walker

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.

Highly recommend - the best decision you'll ever make for your gut health! At a complete loss and desperate for solutions after almost 15 years of suffering with IBD, I found Martin online and that moment has quite honestly completely changed my life. Over the course of 3-4 months I changed from someone who had felt extremely unwell every single day for years, who had slowly reduced their food & drink choices to a very small selection in order to try to avoid making symptoms worse, to being completely transformed with absolutely no symptoms of IBD whatsoever!! I'm beyond grateful for the highly professional, thoughtful and fine-tuned dietary / supplemental guidance that Martin provided, and especially for a much richer life where I can enjoy every kind of food again without a single worry! I can still hardly believe it and wish I'd found him years ago. Martin also makes your gut healing journey very clear and easy to follow, you quickly adapt to the carefully staged protocols set up to help your specific issues, with the end of goal of moving towards eating a beautiful varied diet free of any restrictions or symptoms. Extremely happy :-)

Super! After so many tests, dozens of supplements and treatments without results for my Sibo I was really down. I found Martin by chance on Google last summer. The price discouraged me at first, it's higher than the average here in Italy but I considered it an investment in health. From the beginning he showed great kindness and calmness. He is professional, kind, humane and extremely knowledgeable I appreciated that he never forced me to do other exams I had doubts about, I was always able to express my thoughts on the treatment and the approach. The most important thing I could discuss and decide with him was my inability to stick to strict diets. After years of low fodmap diet I couldn't stand any more restrictions. He indulged me and well what can I say, during these holidays I ate everything and more, 4 months after the start of the treatment! It still seems impossible to me. I'll add that I've had other treatments in the meantime which have certainly helped the process, but I think the biggest part of the result is due to Martin's work. He is always available to reach out between consultations and to offer advice and I will certainly not hesitate to contact him again should the need arise. I would absolutely and completely recommend Martin to anyone suffering from Sibo and IBS

After around 15 months of stomach issues, and verly little help from the nhs I found Martins clinic online! Thankfully he has the knowledge and has massively made improvements with recommendations on medicines and dietary changes. I was struggling with abdominal pains, bloating, heartburn and nausea! After about 4 sessions Martin has got me back to 90% myself. Instead of constant symptoms I now only have an odd day here and there with only a bit of bloating and odd heartburn! I will be booking a other session soon hopefully to iron out the last of my issues! Martin really has been a life changer for me!!!

I cannot commend the service that Sophia and The IBS Gut Health Clinic have been able to provide enough. 12 weeks ago, my IBS ruled my life. I forgot what it felt like to be hungry, and my satiety was governed by varying stomach pain and fatigue. I felt that no food was safe, and I was scared to eat anything for fear of reacting whilst also being scared of not eating for fear of GI distress. Every day felt like a roll of the dice, with all my best efforts to manage symptoms resulting in flare-ups and distress. My mood, energy, happiness, mental health & physical performance were all governed by my stomach, and it was hell. After 4 years of clinical testing on the NHS with no answers, I resigned myself to simply persevering through my symptoms with no hope of positive change. Most days, my stomach pain varied from 6-10/10. I felt run down and fatigued, unable to be present for my friends, partner or work life, and badly depressed. The nutritional changes we implemented were severe and thorough, addressing all aspects of nutrition and targeting lifestyle and behavioural changes. Within the first week, my hunger had returned, I could eat without fear, my energy levels and mental clarity improved, and, most importantly, for the first time in a VERY long time, I had hope for the future. 12 weeks in, I can confidently say that I never thought my symptoms would be as good as they are now or that I would understand as much as I do about my condition. Sophia's guidance and support have been invaluable in navigating me through this process, and I not only feel that I have control over my stomach but that I have my life back. I wish I'd known about Sophia and The IBS & Gut Health Clinic sooner, as I can safely say investing in this process is one of the best decisions I have ever made. All my family and friends have commented on the positive changes they've seen in me and are nearly as grateful to Sophia as I am. I know this is just the start of my journey and that I have a long road ahead of me, but I feel so blessed to be on the road to getting better. Sophia and The IBS & Gut Health Clinic, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’ve been working with Sophia for the last 3 or 4 months. For the first time in over 10 years of complaining of ibs symptoms, I have felt listened to and positive that something can be done for my stomach issues. I have suffered with a wide range of symptoms, from bloating, acid reflux, constipation to loose bowels. After an incredibly thorough consultation with Sophia, she provided an extensive plan of action and through tests, supplements and nutrition, my very aggressive bloating has all but vanished. My fatigue levels seem to be balancing out and overall I have more energy. I’m so impressed with the results in such a short space of time and would certainly recommend Sophia to anyone suffering with gut issues.

I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with Martin. He made me feel so at ease from the moment I met him. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and he has helped me so much over the last few months.  Outside of appointments he always finds the time to respond to my questions. Thank you Martin.

Absolutely cannot recommend Martin highly enough.  In our first consultation I couldn't see any way I could gain control of my life again. My symptoms were all day every day and limiting my social life aswel as negatively affecting my mental health.  I cried during my first consultation at the relief that someone finally understood my issues and were willing to help. 3 months later I've just had my final consultation and my life has completely turned around. My symptoms are 95% improved and i have a detailed long term plan that I know will get me to 100%. If you're in any doubt about contacting the clinic, dont, call them and they will change your life and get you back to being you again...

After a significant event in my life, I developed IBS systems and numerous food related intolerances. Martin helped me work out what intolerances I had and then set about changing my body to start to work again and tolerate them once more.  After taking Martin's advice for around 5-6 months and a few ups and downs, my body settled down and everything re-set itself (with the exception of my lactose intolerance), to include my IBS. 6 months on and I am pleased to say that I have not had any relapses and I am very pleased with the work that Martin did for me. As a result I strongly recommend him to anyone.

I cannot recommend Martin’s services highly enough. I have suffered with IBS on and off for 25 years and with IBS with SIBO for 7 years. I was reaching the end of my tether and felt extremely let down and abandoned by the Consultant I had been treated by. None of the suggested and recommended treatments had worked and I felt that he was at a loss to know how to treat me and was just clutching at straws and fobbing me off. I found Martin by chance on Google out of desperation. Right from the start he showed great kindness and calmness. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything so that it is easy to understand and makes perfect sense. The suggestions he made have had a huge and positive effect on my gut health and given me much more confidence. He is always available to contact between consultations and to offer advice and I certainly will not hesitate to contact him again should the need arise. I would absolutely and completely recommend Martin to anyone suffering from gut related issues.

I would not hesitate to recommend Martin for anyone experiencing gut issues. He has a patient, informed and encouraging way of guiding you towards a positive outcome for even the most challenging conditions. Over a period of several months he helped me on a slow recovery from a condition that had challenged several other medical professionals.

I consulted Martin as a result of ongoing digestive issues. Martin formulated a clear plan and helped me understand what was going on. We've been working together around 8 months and I've seen a significant improvement in symptoms. We're not quite there yet, but I've been really happy with the process and Martin clearly knows what he's talking about. I'm very happy with the outcome of this process which was well worth the money.

I had my initial consultation with Martin mid February 2022, I had been suffering with a bowel problem for around 6 months & needed some help. Martin provided a pathway to help get my bowels re-balanced with a mix of supplements and dietary changes. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, over the next 3 months I had numerous conversations and 2 more consultations with Martin each time he carefully listened to my progress along with any issues I had and advised the next steps. After 3 months of dietary changes (fairy strict ones)  along with various supplements my bowels returned to normal. I now have a much greater understanding of how my bowels react to certain food types and can easily control and mitigate adverse reactions along with eating a very normal diet. I would highly recommend Martin to help anyone who has similar issues….. Thank you Martin David Bennett

Martin was wonderful! So friendly and empathic. I had been suffering for around a year and tried everything I could possibly think of to settle my stomach, with no results. With a few weeks of working with Martin's guidance a huge difference was made. Now a few months down the line and I experience barely any symptoms whatsoever. I am so, so grateful and couldn't recommend enough!

I cannot recommend this clinic enough. I have exhausted my options through the nhs and had every investigation for them to turn around and basically say they couldn’t do anything. In my sessions with Martin I felt he really listened and explained factors of IBS I didn’t even think were related. I have gone from getting upset and not eating when I’m out through fear of a flare up, to reintroducing food I never thought I’d be able to have. I am the happiest and healthiest I have been.

For over a year I had struggled with severe stomach reactions to certain foods. I had tried a low fodmap diet and cut out diary and other food groups and nothing seemed to help. I found Martins website and had the free consultation. Martin was very understanding and I felt comfortable and happy to discuss my issues and so I decided to sign up. Each meeting Martin listened to my concerns and offered me a range of practical knowledge and advice and sent me off with information and a plan to follow until the next meeting. The supplement suggestions and advice have worked miracles and after my 3 sessions I can happily say I am beyond thrilled to be eating a wide range of food again and the fear of eating certain foods has gone. I can now eat out with my family with out worrying and I feel like a brand new functioning human. I could not recommend him and these sessions more, I am so grateful. Thanks Martin

After suffering for years,and trying all sorts of 'cures'with no results,I found Martin Cohen.I had a course of 3 visits and access to Martin via e-mail and telephone,he's very approachable and down to earth.Following his advice and recommendations I have not had any I.B.S. symptoms at all,and am feeling so much better and am able to eat foods that were previously avoided like the plague! I can't thank him enough and highly recommended his expertise,I wish I'd found him sooner.

Martin was extremely helpful and informative to say the least. My mum had initially organised the first consultation without my knowledge, I was skeptical to start with as for the past few years nothing I’d done had remedied any of my gut-related issues. Any trips to the hospital/doctors/specialists had left me with no more information on what the problem was and what more importantly was the solution. Martin took the time to listen to my questions and answer them in such a way that I would understand. He also provided great insight into what supplements and habits would aid me, as well as informing me in detail about specific diets and their benefits. The first consultation was in September and my most recent one was earlier today. The difference is huge, my symptoms are so much more manageable and less painful than initially. Hopefully this will continue far into the future.

Highly recommend Martin and the Clinic to anyone dealing with gut or IBS issues.  Martin is extremely knowledgeable and approachable. I gained a great deal of knowledge regarding the issues I was having and how to manage them in the future.

Martin has been a fantastic nutritionist for me, from the start of my journey he made our meetings very comfortable and it was lovely to have someone who listens carefully when I felt unheard by my doctor. Couldn’t recommend using his services enough if you are struggling with any kind of IBS/gut issues.
