Canadian psychologists, learn how to integrate intuitive eating into your approach for patients struggling with digestive discomfort and IBS. Registered dietitian Gayle Landau challenges the reliance on restrictive diets, promoting a stance of curiosity and self-trust. This CEU-accredited content offers invaluable insights for supporting holistic mental and digestive wellbeing within the Canadian context.
How should professionals in the nutritional field approach patients presenting with digestive difficulties, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome or general digestive discomfort? Should patients be prescribed quite specific diets to address these difficulties, with the implication that some foods exacerbate the difficulties and others ameliorate them? Does intuitive eating fit into the treatment of such patients, and if so, how? Registered dietician Gayle Landau takes us back to basics, and encourages a stance of curiosity rather than judgment when discussing patients' eating habits.
