This service is for children, teens, or family members with a diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis), ideally followed in collaboration with your medical team (family doctor, gastroenterologist, etc.). It's also for people of all ages living with irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, or functional digestive symptoms like constipation, chronic diarrhea, or bloating — and for parents looking for a guided FODMAP approach rather than a generic protocol found online.
Evidence-based nutritional support for digestive disorders, offered to the whole family, virtually in Montreal and across Quebec. One home base can follow your family through every one of these issues — so you're not searching for a new dietitian every time a new concern comes up. We're also equipped to know when to refer you or request additional support to trusted colleagues in our community, if needed. That's the core principle behind Nuome's continuity model.
Why is nutrition so important here
Digestive disorders can't be solved with a generic protocol found online. The FODMAP approach, the best-studied strategy for irritable bowel syndrome, shows solid results, but it's a three-phase diet (elimination, reintroduction, personalization) that requires clinical guidance to avoid nutrient deficiencies, particularly in a growing child.
With celiac disease, it's not just about avoiding gluten: deficiencies in iron, vitamin D, B12, folate, zinc, and copper are common at diagnosis, and cross-contamination remains a common trap even for well-informed people.
In inflammatory bowel disease, nutrition plays a direct role, whether it's supporting growth during remission, or considering approaches like exclusion diets during a flare, always in collaboration with your medical team.
This is exactly why proper support matters more, not less, when a chronic digestive disorder is involved.
A new home for the whole family
nuome comes from "nu," meaning new, plus "home" — you can hear "home" right inside the name itself. The name also carries a second meaning: the suffix "-ome" — as in genome, microbiome, metabolome — designates the complete set of a biological system, not just one isolated part. That's exactly what digestive health deserves: an approach that considers the whole body, with a stable address for navigating a complex diet, whether it's your own digestive discomfort or your child's, rather than following a protocol alone, with no adjustment or follow-up.
What does this include
-
Diarrhea, constipation: fiber, hydration, and eating habit strategies
-
Gastroesophageal reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (3-phase FODMAP approach)
-
Celiac disease: transitioning to a gluten-free diet, cross-contamination prevention, deficiency screening
-
Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and other forms of colitis: nutritional plan support during remission and flares, at any age
-
Evidence-based fiber diversity and other food strategies
What to expect during a consultation
-
Short pre-visit questionnaire (history tailored to the client's age)
-
60-minute initial assessment: digestive history, current symptoms, concrete plan
-
Follow-ups to adjust the approach based on your response to changes
Scope of practice
We do not diagnose irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, Crohn's disease, colitis, or other gastrointestinal conditions, and we do not order diagnostic tests. For children and adults with inflammatory bowel disease, we work in collaboration with the medical team already in place. We don't replace specialized follow-up; we complement it on the clinical nutrition side.
FAQ
Do you also see children, not just adults? Yes — that's actually one of Nuome's founding principles: supporting a family through multiple life stages, including digestive concerns in children and teens.
My child has Crohn's disease — do you work with their gastroenterologist? Yes, always. We support the nutritional plan alongside medical follow-up, never in place of it.
Is the FODMAP approach for life? No — it's generally done in phases (elimination, reintroduction, personalization). Following it indefinitely without reintroduction isn't recommended.
