Now that spring is here and pandemic restrictions are loosening a bit (and perhaps after 2+ years we’re just tired of our own cooking) more people are eating out, getting takeout, or dining with friends. 

But for people with digestive problems, eating away from home can be a THING.

They wonder…

- How will I react to the food? 
- Will the menu have anything I can eat on this restrictive diet I’ve put myself on? 
- I don’t want to make a big deal about asking my friends – or family – to cook something “special” for me.
- Will I be able to get through the evening without symptoms? (Like pain, “unexpected” bathroom trips, bloating out of my pants, heartburn, etc.).
- I can kind of manage my symptoms when I cook at home, but who knows what will happen if I eat away from home?
I regularly hear these concerns when I begin working with clients. 

Often, they’ve become scared of eating. Or at least of eating away from home. 

Or they aren’t clear about which foods they’ll react to and which ones they won’t, so they pick this narrow sphere of foods that they know are usually “safe.”

As a result, leaving home to eat doesn’t seem like an option. And that can become sad and isolating. 

Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way.

Imagine what it would be like to…

- Have the freedom to choose one of several possible selections on a menu. 
- Feel certain that you can leave your own cooking behind to eat away from home, without unexpected gut symptoms wrecking your plans. 
- No longer miss out on social engagements or dining with others. 
- Be fully present with family and friends during meals, without worrying about your gut. 
- Eat a greater variety of foods, and feel confident that they won’t cause symptoms.
It’s possible. 

[HOW is this possible, you might ask? ](http://www.newdawnwellness.com/healyourgutnaturally.html)

Because I do things a little differently.

Instead of…

…restricting foods forever, 

…taking a bunch of supplements that sort of suppress symptoms (but you need to stay on them forever)

…taking meds that don’t really work anyway 

…restricting whole categories of foods forever

We get to the bottom of what’s actually going on inside YOUR gut.

We test instead of guessing. 

We use food therapeutically to guide your body back into balance, so you can expand the number of foods that actually make you FEEL GOOD. 

I offer special techniques to break the gut-stress cycle, which is one overlooked issue that often keeps people stuck.

I look at the big picture of what’s going on with your gut, and make PERSONALIZED recommendations to naturally heal your gut. 

So digestive distress NATURALLY DISAPEARS.

Greater freedom returns.

New possibilities open up – whether it’s eating away from home, taking on that new project, or trying something new that previously felt out of reach because of your gut issues. 

After working with me, clients [significantly reduce symptoms](http://www.newdawnwellness.com/healyourgutnaturally.html) such as bloating, pain, food reactions and BM problems, and are often able to naturally and [fully heal their guts](http://www.newdawnwellness.com/healyourgutnaturally.html) .
