Client TESTIMONIALS
"There are no superlatives I can find to describe how Clemmie has helped to turn my health around and to set me up for the future. Clemmie has an impressive knowledge of IBD and the protocols for managing Colitis. She was able to review my past test results and provide expert nutrition guidance which was always clearly articulated and presented. My only concern was I never got to work with Clemmie earlier in my IBD journey, but I'm very glad that I did find her!
I am now able to eat foods that I thought I couldn't eat back into my diet which is aiding my gut condition. I am now in a remission state for the first time in years. Consequently, I am happier and much more positive. I have more energy to exercise and my moods are much better. I feel positive that I have the grounding to further improve my health and to reduce my meds in the future."
-Andreas (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“Before working with The NALM Clinic my Ulcerative Colitis was not well controlled and I was going into another flare. I also had some anaemia and a lot of anxiety about leaving the house.
Since starting with The NALM Clinic I have now been on a journey towards remission which started following a change of biologic medication and Clemmie's diet advice. Clemmie also helped with my anxiety around leaving the house and just really made all my feelings feel completely valid and very normal things to be feeling. Clemmie picked up on the fact I'm lactose intolerant which since discovering has been life changing!
I feel like I have much more energy every day and I don't need to snack anywhere near as much as I did before Clemmie. I also enjoy eating different foods now which I didn't before. I feel like now I can eat food in confidence and not have to worry that what I am eating will make my Colitis worse. I also know now that gastro symptoms are normal which has reduced my previous daily stresses about why I was having some more symptoms. Clemmie advised that I looked into seeing an IBD therapist to discuss stress anxiety with the condition and that has been completely life changing! I can now leave the house in confidence and do the things I enjoy!
Clemmie is really friendly and takes time to understand your situation. All of her recommended diet changes are personal to you and she will only recommend the foods that you like or are willing to try. Clemmie also provides amazing support with the reviewing of any blood test results and regularly checking in to see how everything is going. She is also really quick at responding to any queries and always takes the time to send a detailed reply. I don't think I would have reached remission as soon as I did without Clemmie and I definitely would not be getting the nutrients I need from my diet without her help.”
-Ollie (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“What made working with Clemmie stand out for me is that she understands what it is like to live with IBD from a patient's perspective. Her in-depth knowledge of the condition and all that it entails was so reassuring and I felt in safe hands. She is understanding and doesn't recommend anything you aren't comfortable with.
I really benefitted from having tailored 1:1 support based on my individual needs and have noticed an improvement in my symptoms and overall wellbeing since working with Clemmie.
I would highly recommend working with Clemmie for anyone with IBD/IBS who is looking for specialised IBD nutrition and lifestyle support.”
- MEGAN (CROHN’S DISEASE), UK
“Clemmie is exceptionally knowledge and "has been there" to which I found very comforting knowing that she knows exactly how I felt and what I was going through. This is something I have not encountered in the past when speaking to my IBD team. She has been amazing to work with and I am so appreciative of the time she has invested in my health and getting me to a level I thought was miles away from when we first chatted. She thought me that "fibre is my friend" and not to be afraid of it. She also thought me to enjoy my food and not feel the need to be restricted. With her help I have made many changes to my day to day, ultimately leading me to having a new perspective on my IBD. Clemmie has given me great advice on meal planning and to mix it up and get me out of my comfort zone which has been incredible. Clemmie fought very hard for me when others wouldn't listen and I would not be in the fighting fit state I am currently if it were not for her help. She has always been available after clinic hours to offer support and advice and always in a cheerful and friendly manner. Clemmie is a superstar!”
-Barry (ulcerative Colitis), Ireland
“Before working with Clemmie, I was struggling with ulcerative colitis symptoms, worry about it all and not much knowledge regarding nutrition. Now my symptoms seem to have reduced, my latest blood sample and stool test came back normal, and my overall anxiety about it all has reduced massively thanks to the guidance and knowledge Clemmie gave to me. I now feel a lot more positive and confident with the information I have.
Clemmie made me feel at ease and comfortable. I had never felt like I had had my condition explained to me properly before my appointments with Clemmie and I was also struggling with how it was making me feel mentally and physically. I now feel so much better about it and so much more positive, I cannot recommend Clemmie enough and I am so thankful for all the advice and guidance she has given me.”
-Rachel (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“Before finding The NALM Clinic I was in the midst of a colitis flare up, post-partum depletion & complications, adjusting to being on steroids and recovering from month-long hospital discharge. Since working with Clemmie I have more energy, reduced inflammation and joint pain, and reduced calprotectin levels.
Clemmie was an absolute lifeline for me at a very challenging, ill and frightening time for me especially with a new baby to also care for. She absolutely helped me understand my illness, gave me the tools to help recover and provided knowledge and support basics that the NHS was unable to do. She provides compassionate and informed support as an expert with first-hand experience of the disease. Clemmie always made me feel cared for and that she was really working hard to find the best ways to help me get better.”
-Kate (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“I came to the NALM Clinic with diarrhoea, fatigue and pain. I have found working with Jess so insightful; I have a better understanding of my body and its nutritional needs and better understanding of the importance of eating and drinking the right things. Although my Crohns is not under control my Calprotectin is down to 50, I have better energy levels, and much less bowel movements which is great! I really enjoyed the information given during the appointments, particularly the very specific bits to follow such as recipe books and lists as this kept it super clear for me.”
-Roisin, Crohns Disease, UK
“Before finding The NALM Clinic I was struggling with pouchitis and bile acid malabsorption. Since working with Clemmie, I have more control of my symptoms, better sleep and I have now got to place close to remission. Now I have eating hacks that give me confidence to try other foods, and feel in control. I am so much more conscious about having protein and soluble fibres in my meals and I am eating out more. The main thing I have gained is confidence. I also have a restored faith that there are health practitioners who do care and have empathy.
I loved Clemmie’s approach and her empathy and honesty. I felt like I was talking to friend who really understood my situation. I loved how practical the recommendations she gave were, really small additions or changes that have made the world of difference.”
-Sita (J-Pouch), UK
“From working with Clemmie, I have a much better understanding of how to use diet and nutrition to manage my condition. It was very helpful to be able to discuss my newly diagnosed UC condition with someone who is so knowledgeable. The nutritional advice I had received through the NHS was not sufficient; Clemmie provided me with a clear understanding and direction to be able to address this critical aspect of my recovery and ongoing management of UC.”
-Jonathan (UC), UK
"My illness was marked by seeing Clemmie; Before Clemmie. After Clemmie.
Since working with her I have got into remission, made small changes to my diet, and understand more about my condition. I have greater freedom around my condition, an understanding of the positives and the negatives. I most enjoyed the space and knowledge shared through our chats."
-Barry (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“I came to The NALM Clinic for help with my UC which caused pain, bleeding and frequent toilet trips. Clemmie gave me advice and clarity on diet and supplements which have helped to get into remission, with no pain or bleeding now. The greatest take-away from working with The NALM Clinic is how relaxed my relationship with food now is, to eat intuitively, healthily, for my body and enjoyment of food; I had thought prior to working with The NALM that I would have a strict, miserable diet, and I was generally feeling low about my prognosis. I now feel very positive, which can only help in prolonging the remission period. Clemmie is so supportive, I felt like I was guided through. Without her I would have had so many unanswered questions and fear. I loved being able to ask questions throughout my journey to remission and feeling like there was someone there to make me feel at ease and listened to.”
-NINA (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“I came to Clemmie with very high inflammation, low energy and was in a lot of discomfort and pain. Since my first consultation I have seen great improvements in reducing the inflammation shown through a recent colonoscopy and have a much better understanding of what foods have bad effects on me and the foods that help me get back on track. I have seen such a positive impact on my overall symptoms although I am not in remission, I have the tools I need to help me get there.
Clemmie has taught me not to stress so much about food and drink. I would often beat myself up when I ate something bad thinking about the pain it will cause me the next day, the stress and worry would often cause my symptoms to be even worse than the foods ever would! I live with less daily stress and have a much better understanding on how I can ease my symptoms and what I should avoid.
Clemmie has helped me gain a wider understanding of my disease and has shown me that I can manage my symptoms through nutrition. Clemmie is so supportive and understanding, she listens and creates a plan which is tailored to you. The recommendations she gave me has really changed the way I view my disease and has given me so much hope and reassurance for the future!”
-Sophie (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“Before finding The NALM Clinic I was struggling with having a balanced diet, controlling my stools and serve abdominal pains. Since working with Clemmie, I have had fewer flare ups, introduced a lot more fibre into my diet and I now have a routine of what and when to eat. Overall, I feel a lot better, I can eat a full fibre breakfast and have now introduced a lot more fruit and vegetables back into my daily meals. I barely have loose stools and they are a lot more controlled. I would 100% recommend The NALM Clinic - all consultations were very positive and helpful, anything you are unsure or worried about will always be listened to and cared for and they are a place you will feel 100% comfortable. Each Zoom call carried a lot of positive energy which made me want to introduce new foods quicker into my diet as it was always turned into an exciting outlook.”
-Nadia (Crohns DIsease), UK
“I have worked with Clemmie for over a year now and she has helped me through a difficult period when I still had inflammation in my bowel and working out what I could and couldn't tolerate. She also revealed some foods that I wasn't aware could be causing some issues. Now that the inflammation is under control, Clemmie has advised me on how fibre plays a major part in achieving a healthier bowel. I really benefited from the tailored advice as no one situation is the same when it comes to IBD and it really helps that she understands the condition first-hand. I would not hesitate in recommending Clemmie to anyone needing advice on helping to manage their IBD condition and discovering what works for you.”
-Julia (Ulcerative Colitis), AUSTRALIA
“Before working with Clemmie at The NALM Clinic I was yoyoing between diarrhoea and constipation, had stomach pain and nausea when introducing new foods, and headaches. I was a bit nervous about reintroducing foods as I'd had bad experiences in the past. I've now massively expanded the foods I eat which has made life much easier and more convenient and I'm enjoying food much more. I have much more consistent bowel movements and my symptoms are under control. The confidence working with Clemmie has given me is invaluable, and it felt as though she really cared and listened to me. It's been a really life changing process for me.”
-Zoe (Crohn’s Disease), UK
“I came to the NALM Clinic with diarrhoea, fatigue, low mood. Before starting I was concerned the consultations might involve really proscriptive meal plans, or that I would be judged for having a poor diet, but this was not the case. Clemmie was always so positive, helpful and non-judgmental in our sessions. I really valued her advice and guidance, and always felt listened to and supported. The post-session notes were super helpful, and it’s great that I can always go back and refer to them when I need to. The goals that Clemmie set were realistic and achievable, so I always felt I was making progress. I now have more energy and fewer IBS flares.”
-George (UC & IBS), UK
“I sought help from The NALM Clinic as I wanted to improve my nutrition, lose weight and increase energy (basically get healthier) so that my new medication (Xeljanz) had the best opportunity to work effectively. Since working with Clemmie, I have entered substantial remission with negligible inflammatory markers (first time in 5 years); I have lost 10kgs and back to exercising 5-6 days per week. I am the healthiest I have been in 5 years. I finally have the energy and inclination to exercise regularly and enjoy eating a wide variety of nutritious food. I would really recommend The NALM Clinic - you won't regret investing in yourself and learning about how to build balanced nutritious meals.”
-Samantha (Ulcerative Colitis), Australia
"Before finding The NALM Clinic I was struggling with eating food and putting on weight due to Crohn's in my oesophagus. Since working with Jess I have seen a huge difference in the number of bowel movements and urgency I have - I don't feel chained to the toilet in the mornings anymore. I have more confidence in what I am eating now, and she really helped sort out the drink supplements I need to help maintain my weight. I felt I had a very restrictive diet before and I am gradually trying new things and able to eat a wider variety of foods than before. Jess was a pleasure to talk to and very understanding. She was super friendly from the get go and I really felt she understood where I was coming from and the issues I have with food. I would thoroughly recommend Jess to help sort out diet and nutrition issues."
-Tracy (Crohn's Disease), UK
“I came to The NALM Clinic for support with constipation and general nutrition advice. Since working with Clemmie I have more stable energy, more regular bowel movements, and greater awareness of my nutrient needs. Clemmie is amazing to work with! She is especially personable, knowledgeable and goes the extra mile for her clients. Her advice is helpful and easy to implement into my daily routine and life, even as a new mother. She brings incredible sympathy and a nonjudgmental attitude to everything she does.”
-Katie (IBS), UK
"My quality of life has significantly improved since I started seeing Clemmie. I have a significantly better understanding of my condition through working with her and I found it really helped that she has suffered with similar issues so her approach is more realistic and sympathetic than other medical staff I have worked with in the past. I am able to detect the warning signs early enough to be able to act on them which has undoubtedly saved me spending time in poor health. Clemmie's approach has been more that dietary, her whole approach takes into account the mental and physical side of my condition including types of stress, giving me a broader understanding of how to stay healthy. I would not hesitate to return to Clemmie or recommend her to anybody suffering from Crohn's Disease."
-Ed (Crohn's Disease), UK
“Clemmie is extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She takes her time to go over everything and doesn't skip a beat. She is professional and very responsive when reached out to.
I am very thankful to have met Clemmie during my worst UC flare in history and appreciative of her time and efforts to help me safely get my symptoms into remission and take control of my life again. It was also very comforting to know that Clemmie battled UC herself, which made her very relatable to me and therefore, I knew she would 100% understand all of my concerns and struggles.
If you are suffering from any digestive issues, please reach out to Clemmie at the NALM Clinic.”
-MINELA (ULCERATIVE COLITIS), USA
“My quality of life has improved immeasurably from before due to Clemmie's consultations and help.
I have gone from daily painkillers to manage the discomfort, pain, on the verge of surgery to remission of my UC/pouchitis, symptoms managed, increase confidence and knowledge and much better prospects and hope for managing my UC/J-pouch for the future.
Clemmie has also helped me to completely change my attitude towards my UC, I will no longer just get on with it, which I believe will help me to continue progress in managing my illness.”
-ED (J-POUCH), UK
“Jess was a very easy person to talk to and it was good to have the time in which to explore issues in detail. I received empathetic, warm and caring advice which was relevant, helpful and clear. I feel reassured by the advice I have been given and consider that I have a greater range of options than before to explore in pursuit of my aims. The quality of my diet has definitely improved and I am benefiting from that (for example, in greater energy levels.)”
-William (post bowel surgery support), uk
“Clemmie is professional, knowledgeable and understanding. She puts you at ease talking about the embarrassing stuff and is reassuringly comforting with her confidence that things can and will get better.
The improvement I have seen is massive and the positive impact that that has had on my life has been extraordinary. My IBS symptoms have largely gone. Sure, I get the odd flare up from time-to-time, but they are easier to cope with mentally as I know it's an exception rather than the norm.
When I think about the hours I have spent researching how to manage my IBS symptoms, on doctors appointments and on CBT, and the money I have spent on Buscopan, peppermint oil capsules, etc, etc, I wish I had spoken to The NALM Clinic so much earlier in my IBS journey.”
-EMMA (IBS), UK
“Clemmie’s knowledge and expertise makes her such a valuable resource to so many groups of patients. I would always recommend her to my patients who are struggling with their digestive health.”
-DR MCCREA (NHS GP/MD), UK
“Clemmie is a treasure and I’m so glad I found her. She is so knowledgeable and can offer such practical guidance and help but she’s also a real listener, immensely kind and clearly wants the best for you. That shows through in each email and communication she’s sent and also in both of our sessions. She’s set me back on track and I’m so grateful.”
-Laura (IBS), UK
“Clemmie was really supportive and non-judgmental and really helps you to understand the role that food can play in maintaining your overall health without drastically changing your diet. Since working with her I have a much more varied diet, less urgency and pain, less bowel movements, better understanding of what foods can provide the best nutrition for my condition, and I don't feel as controlled by my condition as I have done previously.”
-Jane (Crohn’s Disease), UK
“Before working with Clemmie, I was skeptical that anyone could help, but after the first consultation I knew I had done the right thing going to her. I am now able to completely manage my food intolerance, understanding different foods to eat to give me the goodness I need. Working with Clemmie has completely changed my life. I'm eating healthier even though I thought I was before and its been a game changer!”
-Lee (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“Clemmie has radically changed how I think about my UC and how I feel about it. She really knows her stuff, she is hugely empathetic and will help you make changes for the better and make improvements to your general health and wellbeing.
My disease isn't in remission yet, but my symptoms are much better than they were, and my mindset is totally different. I now know I have the tools I need to keep my disease under control while I work with my doctor to find what medication works best for me.
Before working with Clemmie I was going to the bathroom up to eight times every morning, I would have bad cramping and would experience urgency every time. Now, on a good day, I might only go to the bathroom three times. My cramping is also massively reduced, and I've also seen a bit of a difference in urgency too.
Before, I felt like my UC had total control over my life - now I know that is not the case. I know that what I eat and how I eat have a massive impact on my symptoms and this has made me far more optimistic for the future.
This is all down to Clemmie. She is kind, supportive and truly understands what it is to live with IBD. Her advice is sensible, she's super approachable and really cares. She's also a great teacher and I've really enjoyed working with her and learning from her.”
-Becky (Ulcerative colitis), UK
“Working with Clemmie has been so helpful to me as I no longer feel confused about what foods I should eat and supplements I should take. Clemmie is so caring and understanding in her approach. She is very knowledgable about diet and nutrition, specifically when it comes to long term health conditions. It has been lovely to finally get some help regarding my diet as this has not been offered by the NHS and the focus is mainly on medication to manage IBD. Been able to communicate and ask questions in between our sessions has been really useful. Clemmie also got straight on with the things she said she would such as blood test requests from the GP. There was no need for me to chase her up on any actions. It is good to know I can return for further consultations in the future should I need to. In the meantime her site and Instagram account has lots of useful information and recipes.”
-Lyndsey (Ulcerative colitis), UK
"Clemmie is a kind, supportive and informative nutritionist. She takes the time to listen to your needs carefully and doesn’t dismiss any of your worries or questions. She is thoughtful and incredibly knowledgeable about the impact of diet for digestive health, particular for those with IBD.
We had great consultations that were really helpful. I couldn’t have asked for any more.
I am now having periods of better digestion and less pain. More of an understanding of the foods I’m putting into my body and why they’re important e.g importance of eating protein."
- Aimee (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“Clemmie is really approachable and will help guide you through your concerns and health issues. My calprotectin has reduced from over 600 to 67. I am feeling much better in myself, less bloating and more energy. I now feel like my body is being nourished and I have more energy to do the things I love.”
-Emily (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“I loved the free consultation before committing and once I had met Clemmie I was happy to proceed. Since working with The NALM Clinic I have more energy, confidence to eat food, reduced unnecessary supplements, added valuable supplements, and relevant information how to proceed with food. Its worth the money to get honest, reliable help.”
-Lorna (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“I came to the NALM Clinic with a lack of confidence going out because of my IBS, and not sure of the best food options. Since working with the NALM Clinic I am much more confident; I feel I am eating more healthily and more aware of what I need to eat. I feel more confident going out due to less of a need to find a toilet in a hurry. The NALM Clinic offers a friendly approach, and I was able to ask anything and get straightforward answers. I would 100% recommend the NALM Clinic.”
-Carol (IBS), UK
“The NALM Clinic has given me the ability to control my colitis through diet. The IBS symptoms that were also being caused by my colitis are no longer present which was reducing my ability to eat most foods without aggravating my colitis.
The results are great, but the actual understanding and education of how and why certain foods were impacting my body; and how different methods, as well as supplements, could reduce the aggravation are life tools I have been given to deal with my colitis. The opportunity to message should I need to and the check-in from time to time, felt more customer centric rather than just a number/patient.”
-Matt (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“Clemmie was so easy to talk to - she's really professional, knowledgable, and friendly. In the 16 years that I've had Crohn's, no one has ever really touched on the impact of food and nutrition, so speaking to Clemmie was a total revelation. The recommendations she made, and tips she gave me, were all really easy to implement and I saw a difference within a few weeks. I'm now sleeping better through the night, and only going to the loo 3 or 4 times a day compared to 6 to 8. I also have far more energy. The best thing about my experience with Clemmie and the NALM Clinic was how reassuring it was. I mentioned symptoms and strange trends I'd noticed with different foods, and Clemmie told me that this wasn't just me - and that there were ways round what I was experiencing. I feel so much more in control of my health, and I am so, so glad that I made the appointment.”
-Lindsay (Crohn’s Disease), UK
“Working with Clemmie has been amazing. Within two months it made a hugely beneficial impact on my life, I’ve gone from being bloated and having very bad bowel movements everyday to feeling fine the majority of the time. I know which foods and drinks to avoid or to have in moderation. Clemmie is wonderful to work with and makes talking about quite awkward topics feel totally comfortable.”
-Rich (IBS), UK
“The NALM Clinic has the expertise and understanding to guide you through all manner of bodily functions, particularly bowel and gut issues which can have such a detrimental effect on every day life, to resolve issues and provide better understanding. I came to the NALM Clinic with digestive issues and general fatigue. My life is far better since our appointments in that I feel healthier, less tired and understand my own body functions to enable better performance. I valued the online method of consultation as I was able to feel more relaxed in my own home to discuss what can be very personal and private issues, rather than being in a strange location.”
-Wendy (IBS), UK
“Clemmie and the Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine Clinic have an amazing program that I cannot recommend enough. After being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and unsure of what I could eat and do to make myself feel better, besides medicine, meeting Clemmie was probably the best decision I ever made. She had a tailored program set up that looked into my own personal diet and requirements and after only the first few appointments I was already feeling 100 times better.
Clemmie and Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine Clinic honestly changed my life for the better, and I cannot thank her enough for giving me the strength and motivation to get back to normal life now that I feel better after being unwell for so long. If you are looking to re-vamp your diet, or just find a routine that will make you feel better, I recommend Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine Clinic ten-thousand percent.”
-MILLY (CROHN’S DISEASE), UK
“I was worried before committing to the consultations with Clemmie that I would be judged for my diet and what I was eating on a day-to-day basis. I was also concerned that as a fussy eater, I would struggle to maintain a healthy diet. But I loved how there was zero judgement on anything I said, I felt that I could be completely open. Speaking to someone who just gets the many different aspects of IBD was so refreshing! All of the advice is tailored completely to you, and I now know what food triggers I have, and am more confident in choosing the right foods for my condition. I am now in remission, although as soon as I started implementing some of the changes my symptoms started to improve massively.”
-Emma (Crohns Disease), UK
“I have been working with Clemmie for nearly a year now, following a recommendation while I was at a particularly low ebb with my Ulcerative Colitis. Initial scepticism about anyone being able to help, was quickly replaced with total trust and belief in the dietary and lifestyle changes I was making based on Clemmie's detailed analysis and resulting suggestions.
Without Clemmie's input I simply didn't understand I could do anything more than try and hide my symptoms from others and hope that my medication stopped things from getting even worse. What Clemmie gives you is an understanding of exactly what is causing your symptoms and how and why her recommendations will improve things (which they invariably do). This is an enlightening experience and underpins how much Clemmie can help with our mental state and wellbeing as well as everything else.”
-HOWARD (ULCERATIVE COLITIS), NEW ZEALAND
“When I came to The NALM Clinic I was suffering with extreme tiredness, blood in stool consistently and other side effects that come from Ulcerative Proctitis.
Through working with Clemmie I have learnt a lot about what foods to have in all of my meals to ensure my energy levels are steady throughout the day and I have noticed a big difference. I feel like I have a lot more energy, and I know this will be in part to the medication but my food changes have helped me manage my energy levels throughout the day and avoid those afternoon slumps.
I most enjoyed all the recipes that were given, and the insight that Clemmie gave into my condition. It has been quite an isolating and scary time with doctors not really giving me much information on my condition. Clemmie helped me to understand the condition more which I hugely appreciated and needed.”
-Jessica (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“Clemmie has great knowledge about UC and Crohn’s Disease and if you have just been diagnosed, like I was year ago, she is a great help and reassurance that it will be all good one day. I have always felt like I could contact Clemmie with my questions at any time and they would get answered, not only during our sessions. So whatever issues I had it was always sorted and I could implement the good things to my diet and lifestyle. I’m now in symptomatic remission, have got rid of the pain and have been able to get off the steroids. I feel like I’m living an almost normal life.”
-Karel (ulcerative colitis), UK
“I have more energy, better skin and less frequent pains related to IBD. Clemmie shows great attention to detail and show of concern for really getting to the bottom of the problem. She has improved my knowledge of dealing with IBD. She is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Clemmie focuses on a lot of credible studies and it’s great knowing that she stays up to date with everything new.”
-CAMERON (ULCERATIVE COLITIS & STOMA), UK
“Throughout my time I felt genuinely cared about and that was the biggest thing for me. I always felt prior to each consultation that Clemmie had taken the time to review my food/symptom diary and made suggestions/recommendations based on this. I really felt she wanted to help me to feel better and we explored many options including food, lifestyle and other tests. I have identified trigger and non-trigger foods through careful elimination and re-introduction. By completing this process thoroughly I now have confidence and have no 'what ifs' about certain foods that I would have previously. Clemmie offers a structured and individual approach from someone who not only understands, but genuinely cares.”
- anna (crohn’s disease & IBS), UK
“Before finding the NALM Clinic I was struggling with constipation, diarrhoea and stomach pain. Since working with Clemmie I now have fewer flare ups, less anxiety around stomach issues resulting in better sleep etc, and more consistent bowl movements. I am more relaxed about food and my IBD issues, which has improved my lifestyle. The NALM Clinic is a great option for anyone with IBD; really helpful, knowledgeable and relaxed.”
-Gemma (Crohn’s Disease), UK
“I loved the rapport with Clemmie, her beaming smile lit up my computer screen. Totally loved how Clemmie's professional expertise was delivered during and between our online consultations with a holistic, kind, caring and open approach. It was a wonderful and nourishing experience. I had no idea the transformational impact it would have on my life as well as providing me with outstanding advice and information from a real expert.”
- MAGGIE (IBS), UK
“Clemmie is very knowledgeable and makes the client feel comfortable and confident in the advice she is giving. She is considerate and understanding as she has experienced a lot of the same symptoms in her life. I feel much better in myself physically and mentally after experiencing a big flare up at the beginning of 2021 for just over 6 months. Clemmie has helped me whilst coming off steroids and managing my lifestyle and daily routines to help build strength and prevent symptoms flaring up again. I look forward to continuing my life taking her advice with me each day.”
- katIE (Ulcerative colitis), UK
“Clemmie is really helpful and meets you were you are. She considers what is realistic and will work for you and is very evidence based. She provides information and realistic options and also the reasons why certain things will work.
Clemmie talked to me about being kind to myself around food after my surgery, I have ongoing issues around my relationship with food and the idea of not focusing on restrictions whilst recovering and finding my new way of eating post surgery was such an important point for her to make as I can easily slip into a negative 'restrictive diet' mentality about food. I now feel like I know how to navigate my life with food post surgery in a clear way, with solid evidence based guidelines.”
- SARAH, (ULCERATIVE COLITIS), UK
“Clemmie is very knowledgeable and gives advice appropriate to your circumstances. She is also very easy to talk to. I enjoyed the whole experience working with Clemmie – I particularly liked that fully comprehensive notes are quickly provided after sessions so I could talk and listen properly, and not feel I had to note it all down. I am feeling much better in myself and have firmer stools.”
-Kim (Ulcerative Colitis), UK
“Before I started the consultations, I had little understanding of diet and IBD and wasn't getting much diet support from my healthcare team. I was flaring on and off due to ineffective medication and had had a few steroid courses. My mental health was also in a bad place and I didn't know what else I could do to help manage my symptoms apart from medication.
After working with Clemmie, I have a better idea of what foods work for me and what don't, as well as developing better lifestyle practices. I have a better understanding of how to manage nutrition and lifestyle with my IBD and working with Clemmie has helped bring back some confidence which had previously been lost due to my IBD. I feel more hopeful now and know that there are things I can do to help myself along the way.”

“I started working with Clemmie based upon the recommendation of another nutritionist….I had undergone 2 major operations due to ulcerative colitis. I subsequently had ongoing infections for many months and it had reached the point where medications were becoming less effective. Over a period of around 6 months, from the advice given by Clemmie I made significant changes to my diet - both the foods I eat and avoid and also with specific supplements for me, as well as changes to my lifestyle. During this time, my symptoms significantly improved….It has been a pleasure working with Clemmie….I have found Clemmie to be very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. I have no hesitation in recommending her and will continue working with her as I need to in the future.”

“Working with Clemmie has definitely given me more energy and a more mindful approach to my food. I feel more energised and less likely to reach for the biscuit jar! The NALM Clinic is a great resource and support, especially for IBD sufferers who don't always get much help from their IBD clinic.”
-Sarah (Crohn’s Disease), UK
“I am lot better diet and nutrition wise, my fatigue level improved a lot and I received a number of important tips which helped me to control my overall health goal. Clemmie has a friendly approach, accurate knowledge about IBD, with attention to detail.”

“I have received so many amazing results I didn’t even know I needed - all my sleeping problems, fatigue, cramps and stress have gone into complete remission, I’ve stopped gaining weight and I have learned a great deal about my body and how to deal with my condition.”
