Please email info@ndr-uk.org if you would like to be added to the mailing list for notifications about the publication of these resources.

The new IBS resource was developed to support second-line gastroenterology services within IBS pathway(s). Full product details available here.

The aim is that the Target Group (TG) will understand what IBS is, and:

• that symptoms may be aggravated by diet, lifestyle and/or other factors including stress
• regular, balanced, varied meals are advised based on healthy eating principles of the Eatwell Guide 
• that over-restriction of food or food groups should be avoided
• will understand how to modify their fibre intake.

The new Lactose Intolerance resource was developed to to support people with a suspected or proven intolerance to lactose. Full product details available here.

The aim is that that Target Group (TG) will;

• know what lactose is and how to identify foods that contain/are likely to contain it
• know what the symptoms of lactose intolerance are, and that people can have varying and changeable tolerance levels
• understand that intolerance is not an allergy and the role of lactase in symptom control
• know how to start and build a reintroduction plan to control their symptoms
• be aware of the dietary risks of eliminating lactose and be able to implement guidance to reduce these risks.
