What my clients say
Female adult, Hastings
Having found Diane’s website and the fact that Diane had irritable bowel and had specialised in food intolerances in Australia at the Allergy clinics, I decided I had nothing to lose as my quality of life was becoming affected.
After implementing some dietary changes,my significant bowel issues were resolved. I went from having bowel incontinence to not even having diarrhoea. I am beginning to finally sort out my many issues and am more positive about my future with food.

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.

“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.
