If so, your diet, even if it’s a healthy one, may be making you sick, and food intolerances or sensitivities may be at the root of your problems.  I am here to help you on your journey to better health and vitality! My expertise is in gluten-free diets, the Low FODMAP diet for IBS and other digestive issues, and MRT Food Sensitivity Testing combined with a Customized LEAP Elimination Diet.

Read what some of my clients are saying about LEAP and the low FODMAP diet…

One night last year I woke up in the middle of the night with terrible stomach pain. After 9 hours in the urgent care, the Dr said I picked up a stomach infection.  I spent months getting every test & seeing 4 different GI Dr.’s It was a terrible experience, I really got no answers, & the whole time I was feeling awful.  I was eating 700 calories a day b/c I didn’t know what to eat & could not keep much down.

My GI Dr. finally mentioned the Low Fodmap Diet & so I started googling what that was. Turns out, it seemed incredibly complicated & confusing to me, so I decided I needed the help of a professional nutritionist.  The best day in a long time was when I found EA on the internet. I’ve worked with EA for the last five months & I am so lucky to have found her. 

 EA knows everything about the Low Fodmap Diet (& of course all things nutrition related) & easily guided me through the process. She was always available for my calls, texts, or emails. She had meal plans, vitamin suggestions, eating out suggestions. Anything you can think of, she knew the answer.

 If you are having any type of stomach/food related issue, please help yourself get better & enlist EA to help you.  I can complain about anything, but not EA!! She is a true knowledgeable professional & I am sure she can help you like she helped me!!

I had been suffering with digestive issues for 2.5 years and sought out help from an acupuncturist, internist, gastroenterologist, holistic MD and an integrative doctor without much luck. The acupuncturist recommended a couple of great supplements that helped manage my symptoms but I didn’t feel that I was getting to the root of the problem. After doing research online, I put myself on the FODMAPs diet, but read that it should not be done without the help of a dietitian. I found EA’s contact info online as a FODMAPs-friendly dietician, so I felt confident calling her. Well, she blew me away. She spent an hour on the phone with me talking about my symptoms, what I had already tried, etc., and suggested since the FODMAPs diet was helping that I take it a step further and try the LEAP diet. I went for it, and it wasn’t easy, but EA was there to talk me through it and the results were amazing. I didn’t even need the “can’t live without” supplements on this diet! She also suggested I follow up with an integrative doctor for my fibromyalgia pain and I decided to revisit the one I had originally seen. This time around, with my digestion greatly improved, the doctor was better able to hone in on what to test for and we discovered several underlying problems that might not otherwise have been diagnosed! EA is extremely knowledgeable, generous with her time, and caring and I honestly don’t know where I’d be today if it weren’t for her. As a bonus her positive, fun personality make it a pleasure to work with her!

I originally contacted EA Stewart, RD per the recommendation of a colleague to help me wean off of two digestive medications I had been taking for 13 years for IBS and GERD. As I was not actually experiencing digestive distress when we first began working together, given the successful pharmacological management of my symptoms, it was particularly challenging to document any improvement as I progressed through an elimination diet informed by LEAP and FODMAP theory. However, working with EA {on a LEAP and FODMAPs diet} was truly a pleasure. She was a constant source of knowledge and support, and answered all of my (many) questions with incredible patience and expertise. She repeatedly demonstrated impressive humility when faced with a question to which she did not know the answer, and never hesitated to request time to research the topic before getting back to me, usually within a week, with the information I sought. Furthermore, her ability to “think outside the box” and recommend products and recipes that were truly tailored to my individual needs was both impressive and inspiring. I am thrilled to say that through my work with EA I have been completely off one medication for over two months, and am now on my way to being totally med-free (and I even still get to eat dessert!)
