How we assess and investigate
Dietetic assessment includes a comprehensive dietary history using validated 24-hour recall and food frequency methods. Anthropometric measurements (weight, height, BMI, waist circumference) and body composition analysis are taken. Functional gut symptom scoring (IBS-SSS, Bristol stool scale) is used for gastrointestinal conditions. Blood results including HbA1c, lipids, renal function, and vitamin and mineral status are reviewed. Food and symptom diary analysis is performed for allergy and intolerance cases. Cultural, religious, and social factors affecting diet are considered throughout.

- Coordinated care with medical consultants (endocrinology, gastroenterology, bariatric surgery)
When to see a specialist
Seek dietetic assessment if you have been given a diagnosis that requires dietary change (diabetes, IBS, CKD, coeliac disease); if you have food-related symptoms (bloating, pain, diarrhoea) not resolved by basic dietary changes; if you are an athlete needing structured nutrition advice; if you have had bariatric surgery; or if your weight is affecting your health and previous diet attempts have failed. Private dietetics at The Vesey offers one-to-one specialist appointments without the 12-week-plus NHS wait.
