About Vie Nutrition

Jeanette Starkey

Jeanette is a specialist gastroenterology dietitian with over 16 years experience. Her areas of research and expertise focus on irritable bowel syndrome, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, food allergies/intolerances and probiotics. She also works closely with patients who have inflammatory bowel disease, coeliac disease and liver disease.

Jeanette set up Vie Nutrition to provide a unique service focusing on bowel health and function. We are able to provide an in-depth assessment and fully understand the clinical, social and nutritional factors which affect bowel function. This enables us to focus on the key factors impacting on bowel health and thereby provide the right advice and dietary management. We can also undertake testing for food allergies and for SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth).

Jeanette’s specialist areas include conditions such as:

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• SIBO and hydrogen & methane breath testing
• Food allergies and intolerances
• Inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis)
• Coeliac disease
• Liver disease
• Hypnotherapy for IBS management
