Our Approach to Gastrointestinal and Digestive Health
Uncomfortable gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms like gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea can erode our quality of life, causing discomfort, pain, embarrassment, and stress.
At Culina Health, we know that digestive disorders are multi-faceted. Getting to the root cause of gastrointestinal imbalance is vital to helping you feel better.
Our GI dietitians will help you identify what is causing your symptoms and create a sustainable plan to manage them, so you can get back to feeling your best.
We Help With
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity
- Lactose intolerance and other food intolerances
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)/Heartburn
- Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
- Gastroparesis
- Kidney disease
- Liver disease
- Constipation, diarrhea, bloating
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) - Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
- Malnutrition
How often should I see a registered dietitian?
For patients experiencing GI symptoms or conditions, our recommendations are:
- Weekly session until signs and symptoms resolve or are well-managed.
- Then, move forward with check-ins as needed.
For patients pursuing bariatric surgery, our guidelines are:
- Before your surgery, we require you to complete at least 3 sessions for bariatric surgery clearance.
- After your surgery, we recommend weekly sessions until you are able to consume a soft diet, and you are meeting your nutrition needs consistently. Then, biweekly for at least 3-6 months.
- Once you achieve your long term goals, it can be helpful to check in with your registered dietitian every 6-12 months.
Many people with GI conditions have other nutrition-related goals including weight loss, working on their relationship with food, or management of other conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Talk to your RD about a proper cadence for managing these goals in tandem with your GI conditions.

What our patients say
“Culina’s style of coaching and supportive nature of their dietitians have made it possible for me to relieve my various stomach issues and find a better way to live with my existing health conditions.”
Couldn’t recommend working with them more!
"I've created an actual lifestyle where I regularly work out in a way that benefits me.”
Seeing my dietitian has honestly changed my life. Before working with her, I was about 20 lbs overweight and not getting nearly enough exercise. I’d spend time looking at before and after photos of others, wishing I could do the same. Working with my dietitian made it easy as it was not about overhauling my life, but about implementing subtle changes until I
developed better, healthier habits.
