Fed up trying to get answers from your medical team regarding Reflux and associated conditions ? Then look no further
Douglas will spend time with you during the initial 1+ hour ONLINE consultation to ensure that you understand the condition, where it likely originated from and importantly formulate a customised protocol for recovery to help you reduce or eliminate your PPI meds and associated gut and IBS symptoms over a period of recovery time.
Douglas Mizzi is a highly experienced clinical nutritionist specialising in gut disorders that included excess fermentation and gas production, which then create symptoms of bloating, belching, excess wind and of course reflux, wether silent or painful.
If your GP or Gastroenterologist cannot offer a recovery plan other than a simple prescription for PPI medication then we welcome you to investigate how identifying foods, fixing up the gut and initiating a professional recovery program can improve or eliminate the issues with medication.
This is NOT a service for those requiring urgent surgical procedures
We are a clinic that specialises in identifying potential trigger foods through diligent assessment using tools such as food intolerance assessment based on over 3+ decades of experience in this field with successful patient outcomes.
The majority of our patients come from...
Douglas Mizzi, is a trained and highly experienced clinical nutritionist with over 60,000 patient consultations since 1990 in this field of reflux, heartburn, bloating and excessive fermentation. His approach is direct, informative and respectful spending a good hour with patients during the initial consultation to ensure the patient has a clear understanding of not only the effects of reflux and associated symptoms, but importantly where the condition likely originated and why.
His understanding of foods and their associated negative health effects is highly regarded, with exceptional understanding of many different cultural foods, effects and importantly effective solutions.
Douglas fills the much needed gap of education and food understanding that is missing during nearly all consultations with medical doctors and gastroenterologist.
Douglas will never tell you to follow a FODMAP diet or give you general non-sensical information. All information is custom designed for each patient and takes into account patient history, lifestyle habits and ability to follow a custom protocol.
If you are fed up with not getting answers from your current health provider, if you are looking for non invasive solutions that work^, if you are concerned about the long term negative health effects as publicly stated by the pharmaceutical and medical industry regarding PPI meds, then reach out and book in for a consultation .
Reflux is nearly always part of a bigger group of symptoms and underlying condition. Watch this video to see if your reflux has progressed to a further reduction in your health as part of an established gut dysbiosis and fermentation condition
We will undertake the following during the first 1+ hour initial online consult.
Subsequent visits are very important as we will assess your progress for improvement and adjust as required. We will spend time going through any challenges to ensure forward momentum.
Our aim is to reduce the presenting symptoms of Reflux, IBS and Gut Dysfunction so that we can identify the smallest amount of medication for you to take or attain a complete reduction of medication as symptoms diminish in conjunction with the advice of your GP unless you are on an Over The Counter PPI in which case you can discuss with one of the Pharmacists at the Lygon Everyday Chemist.
Whilst everyone is potentially different, symptom recovery can start as soon as soon as 3 - 5 days with most people seeing improvements after 7-14 days.
However this does not mean full recovery. Full recovery where some original foods may be introduced with minimal effects can occur after 4 + months so this is what we aim for.
Our benchmark for recovery is a reduction of medication ( under healthcare supervision) around month 2-3 with introduction of some trigger foods around month 4-5, and general awareness around foods and symptoms from this time onwards.
