Overcoming IBS symptoms isn’t only about what you eat. You likely already have a huge list of foods you “can’t” eat but you’re still seeing little to no change in your symptoms.
You may feel like you’ve done everything possible to get on top of your symptoms but in reality, you’ve only scratched the surface. You didn’t have targeted support to address your specific triggers, which is why you’re still feeling just as lost, frustrated and uncomfortable as before.
Some people who have been diagnosed with 'IBS' slip through the net because they
don’t actually have IBS. They actually have SIBO (this is true for approximately 38% of people with IBS) or histamine intolerance.
In Take Control 2.0, we go a lot deeper into factors like this;
During the 12-week programme, you can discover your personal triggers
and create an action plan to get on top of your symptoms.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. It’s all about pinpointing what’s happening in YOUR body so we can address it.
I’m Kirsten and it wasn’t that long ago that I was exactly where you are.
In my early 20’s, I suffered from chronic bloating and fatigue, which was dismissed by countless doctors as “just stress”.
Rather than give up and accept that this was how life was going to be, I became fascinated by the link between nutrition and the body. I even studied dietetics so I could use my professional knowledge to question what I’d been told.
Eventually, I got proper testing and found that IBS wasn’t the culprit.
This is where the Take Control Programme evolved from.
I was able to apply the science of sleep, movement, mental health and nutrition to empower myself about my symptoms.
I know what works (and what doesn’t!).
Now that I’m in control of my symptoms, I want to help you to do the same.
I’ll teach you how to pinpoint your IBS triggers and reduce your gut sensitivity.
The Take Control programme has been running for 4 years now and helped 100's of people like you.
Here are just a few of them:

I signed up for the Take Control programme three months ago and it has been the best thing I have done to help understand and manage my IBS. I have been constipated pretty much all my life (I'm 56 so that's an awful long time) and was diagnosed with IBS in my early twenties.The Take Control programme has helped me understand why my gut behaves in the way it does and make changes to my lifestyle and diet to reduce symptoms and manage flare ups better.

I have found the course so helpful -the information is so informative and presented in such a way that it is so easy to follow. The emphasis on taking a holistic approach to managing IBS and monitoring all relevant aspects has made a real difference to me and I am feeling so much better for this.

I found Kirsten extremely supportive. Having access to her, and the other members of the programme through the Facebook group, made the process of FODMAP elimination and reintroduction so much easier to follow. Knowing there are so many other people going through the same process made me realise I wasn’t alone!
I’ve had a total turnaround with my symptoms and I’m only sorry I hadn’t come across Kirsten sooner – I would recommend her to anyone
1.
Get clarity on the personal triggers behind your symptoms and whether SIBO or histamine intolerance is the true culprit
2.
Get to know how your condition affects your body (this can be incredibly personal to you and there’s no one-size-fits-all).
3.
Reduce your gut sensitivity so you know what to eat to support your wellbeing without triggering symptoms.
Take Control 2.0 contains step-by-step instructions for you to gain clarity and relief from your symptoms.
By the end of this program, you’ll:
If you are reading this then it is likely the low FODMAP diet did not work for you. There are a number of reasons for this but mostly it comes down to 1/ You were not doing it correctly 2/ You forgot to address the other factors of gut health i.e. fibre, fluid, sleep etc or 3/ You have SIBO or a histamine intolerance which we cover in this programme.
No! The programme includes a lesson on getting an accurate diagnosis, including a PDF doctors letter from Kirsten which you can take to your doctor. This outlines the tests required (incase you have not had them) as per UK medical guidelines.
Whilst waiting for your tests, you can still start the program.
Yes! It is all online and can be accessed from a PC, laptop, smart phone or tablet.
Yes! There will be a weekly group video consultation with Kirsten where you can ask questions. If you are unable to attend live then you can email ahead of time (this is also good for those who with to have anonymous answers in a group setting).
You will have the opportunity to email your questions ahead of time. The video consultation is then recorded and will be put up on your course platform within 24 hours.
12 weeks (but we recently extended you access to be lifetime incase you wish to do it at a slower pace).
This is likely the biggest question that will be in your head right now. This programme should work for most people unless you have a severe mental health condition in which case you need input from a trained psychologist.
The reason we can be so confident is that you will be guided through baseline testing with your doctor that would rule out other health conditions so that really narrows it down. This programme targets gut health from every angle (unlike other programmes which only look at the low FODMAP diet).
No one has a lot of time on their hands! This is part of the issue ha! But, jokes aside, the programme is designed to fit into any lifestyle. Each lesson is around 10 minutes long and asks you to set small, manageable goals each week. So no huge lifestyle overturn. You will also now get lifetime access to the content should you need to go at a slower pace.
Those with the following health conditions should not join the programme as you will need a 121 approach: eating disorders, pregnant women and those under the age of 16.
We currently do not offer a refund for the programme. This is because of the extensive nature and lifetime access. However, we do very much welcome any feedback should you not be happy with your purchase as we want to continually improve it.
" I just want to say a HUGE thank you Kirsten who runs the Take Control programme.
For about 3 years I was suffering with bloating, wind, stomach pains and diarrhoea so I went to see the doctor who gave me various tests and I was diagnosed with IBS. She printed off an information sheet from Google and off I went. A year later I was none the wiser and still suffering. I tried lots of things to try and sort out my gut problems.
The first thing I did was to take a bioresonance device test where you have to hold a metal handle for 1 minute and then you get a print off of those foods which you may be sensitive to. I had a long list but it didn't really help. The next thing I did was try to cut out gluten and dairy.
This seemed to help with the bloating but I was still getting other symptoms. I had heard about the low FODMAP diet so researched that on the internet but again, I was so confused. There are so many websites on Pinterest that claim to show you how to do the low FODMAP diet but they all say different things and contradict each other. Some say you can have avocado, others say you can't.
I saw the Take Control programme advertised and looked into it. I waited a few months before I plucked up the courage to join. I have to admit, I was sceptical that it would work, but I was wrong.
The Take Control programme has been an absolute life changer for me. I now know exactly what it is that I can and can't eat. The low fodmap diet is so confusing but Kirsten trained me exactly how to do it correctly. The Facebook group has also been really helpful as I realised that I was not the only person who was suffering and had 'silly questions'. Everyone on there has been really kind and helpful and taught me so much.
Thanks to the Take Control programme I am now no longer suffering from stomach pains. It still happens sometimes but nowhere near as frequently as it was and I can usually work out what has caused it. I have not had diarrhoea for months. I no longer go around looking like I'm pregnant or worry about my loud tummy noises when I share an office with my colleagues.
Being vegetarian it has been tough. The low FODMAP diet was really hard being veggie and there were times when I wanted to give up. I even cried a couple of times. It was so hard. But thanks to the Take Control programme I found out that a lot of the veggie foods I was eating such as beans and pulses were actually what was causing the problem! I had also switched to soya milk which I found out was another cause of my difficulties.
Kirsten, I want to thank you so much for everything you have done for me. I am still learning about how much I can tolerate for certain foods and if I do decide to eat something that doesn't agree with me then at least I know the pains may come and I'm prepared for that. I totally recommend the Take Control programme to anyone who is suffering from IBS. It is well worth the money, time and effort. I really cannot thank Kirsten enough for helping me. I really do mean it when I say this programme has changed my life.
A million thanks!
