Care boundaries
A practical consultation, not a generic diet sheet
The consultation starts with your personal context, health history, current treatment, and food routine. The advice is designed to support safer everyday choices, not to replace diagnosis or prescribing care.
Important boundaries
This service does not replace urgent medical care. Dr. Hakeem provides dietetic nutrition support within applicable professional scope. Diagnosis, prescribing, medication changes, and urgent symptoms should be handled by your GP, specialist, prescribing clinician, NHS 111, or emergency services as appropriate.
FAQ
Common questions
Do I need a diagnosis before an IBS consultation?
A medical review is important because IBS-like symptoms can overlap with other conditions. The consultation can then focus on safe dietary support.
Is low FODMAP always needed?
No. Many people benefit from simpler changes first. If low FODMAP is appropriate, it should be structured and time-limited.
Can South Asian foods be included in gut-health planning?
Yes. Spices, lentils, wheat, rice, dairy, onions, garlic, and meal patterns can be reviewed in a practical way.
