Living with IBD can feel like you have no control. No matter what changes you make, the medicines you take, or the foods you avoid, symptoms can flare out of nowhere.

This short clarity checklist asks simple questions to help you see where the missing pieces may be between what you’re doing and the results you’re hoping for.

It’s your first step toward understanding why your symptoms keep returning and how to take action to support your gut.

What You’ll Learn

✔ Identify the gaps in your current approach that may be holding your gut back
✔ understand why urgency, diarrhoea, blood/mucus and anxiety keep returning
✔ Learn the basic foundations that can improve gut health with IBD
✔ Recognise the signals your symptoms are sending you 
✔ discover the gap between where you are now and a life with fewer flares and more control

This checklist highlights where many people with IBD encounter their
biggest barrier to progress.

    "exactly what I have needed to get my IBD under control"

    I started working with Chris in January 2025 during my worst flare ever. His guidance with a tailored diet and supplement plan has helped heal and rebuild my gut. I’ve learned so much, and he’s always there to answer questions. I’m now in remission, with consistent bowel movements, and feel equipped to manage my IBD long-term. I would 100% recommend The Gut Coach to anyone struggling with gut issues.

    “Having recently been diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis, battling the symptoms alone was intimidating, but after working with Chris, I found real comfort in his expertise in symptom management. The impact on my colitis has been remarkable, and I am now medication-free. His approach isn’t just about dietary changes or exercise planning; it's a holistic transformation program and a complete mindset shift. Beyond addressing my symptoms, the ripple effect has been undeniable. I've experienced increased energy, improved mood, and a sense of balance that extends into all areas of life.”

    "The approach was surprisingly easy to follow"

    “It was my first time using a coach, and the approach was surprisingly easy to follow. Chris’ experience made it easy for me to open up about my troubles with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. We developed practical tools to help me manage my day-to-day stress and control the overwhelmed that I would often experience with my symptoms.”

    "He really provided me with the kick I needed to keep going when things got tough"

    Chris is a fantastic person and a remarkable health and wellness coach who used his own experiences to understand my view on IBD and how I suffer. He was understanding, caring and most important compassionate. He is down to earth and has a great outlook on the challenges faced by living with IBD. He really provided me with the kick I needed to keep going when things got tough and also has given me much more confidence around dieting and exercise with IBD. Cheers for the knowledge and guidance, Chris!

    Food matters, but it’s only one piece.

    This helps you understand why symptoms are happening and what to prioritise first.

    It’s the same framework I use with my 1:1 clients — just simplified.

  • The checklist takes 5–10 minutes.

    But overcoming IBD takes longer.

    Most clients notice improvements within weeks, with lasting relief building over 3–6 months when we repair the gut step by step.

    Real healing isn’t rushed — and that’s a good thing.

  • Often, yes.

    Foundations come first, but testing can be incredibly helpful to understand what’s happening beneath the surface.

    That’s why functional testing and personalised protocols are included inside my coaching programmes — so we’re not guessing.

  • No one can promise that.

    But it will give you clarity, direction, and practical next steps — so you stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress.

    And for many people, that’s when things finally start to change.
