A Comprehensive Gut Nutrition Assessment is a three phase package. It includes a 45 minute assessment appointment, completion of gut-specific questionnaires and food and symptom diary. This data is then analysed and compiled into an individual written report. At a second appointment we discuss the report findings and together develop an initial nutrition plan. This comprehensive assessment costs $380.
Follow up assessments (30 minute appointment) are $120.
In some cases short telephone assessments are adequate (15 minutes) and cost $55.
The number of appointments you will need will depend on the treatment required. For example, if your IBD is in remission and you would like to discuss diet and nutrition to help maintain remission then you may only need one appointment. If you would like support implement dietary strategies to maintain remission, you will likely need three or more appointments. If you are looking to use a 12 week nutritional therapy to treat active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis you will need three appointments and a short telephone review.
