If you have any pain or sore gut or stomach issues, I highly recommend seeing Diane. Not only is she warm and welcoming but she really knows her stuff! After I had my lower bowel checked inside and out by a surgeon, I thought that maybe it’s what I’m putting into my bowel that’s causing

I was a client of Diane's last year and I must say seeing Diane was one of the best things I have ever done! About 14 months prior to seeing Diane, I had blood tests to see if gluten was causing my tummy upsets.

For several years my son has suffered with abdominal/stomach pains, for which we have visited numerous GPs with no success.We were referred to Diane who has helped us to identify food intolerance’s through a process of removing and re-introducing different food groups. By identifying these food intolerance’s he now has no stomach pains and we are aware of which foods he has trouble digesting. It is a relief as a parent to see him happy and free from pain.

“I have been fortunate to be referred to Diane Stride by my doctor, Blaine Stride (Diane’s husband).For some ten years I have suffered from pain and tension in both the abdomen and stomach. During this period I have had four colonoscopy’s and many ultrasounds. The pain has never been constant, or consistently in the same place, “a moveable feast” I describe it as. It has not disturbed my sleep and most days I have woken pain free with the tension creeping on as the day has progressed. My bowel movements have been quite erratic.

For the last 10 years I have been struggling with chest and stomach pains – which also at times led to feeling light headed and feeling like I was going to pass out. And every morning I would wake feeling horrible. I lacked energy, felt constantly wiped out, was extremely irritable and on a whole I felt totally miserable.I had been to the doctor on numerous occasions to try and solve the problems I was having – every blood test, heart test, endoscopies etc all said I was perfectly healthy – which although was great to hear was also very frustrating because I didn’t feel healthy.

After being diagnosed with Coeliac disease five years ago I immediately took on a gluten free diet, noticing significant improvements after a few days.It was only a couple of years ago that I noticed the same symptoms I had when I wasn’t gluten free coming back – bloated, sore, tired and of course inconsistent bowel motions that would either be constipation or diarrhoea. Turns out I was lactose intolerant too.
