Look at this beautiful plate of food that one of our Dietitians created. Well portioned and looks delicious! Boiled potatoes instead of chips, fresh coleslaw instead of creamy supermarket product, and airfried salmon instead of deep fried white fish. This version is lower in saturated fat, higher in omega 3 fats and higher in vitamins and minerals.
A journey girl; curious and passionate. When she was 14 her mother took her and her brother to Disneyland, LA. When she was there she took a ride on a rollercoaster which led her through an artery in the human body. They dodged blood and immune cells that bowled towards them. Since then she has wondered how the body worked at the level of micro-dynamics. As a result of her passion for learning, she has now extensive academic qualifications including Masters in Dietetics and Honours in Law. This study combined with her pharmaceutical work with pharmaceutical products enabled her to understand health from different perspectives. She also developed at the time a deep appreciation for Aboriginal history of herbology and bush medicine that was prevalent before colonisation by the Europeans, and Aboriginal health and culture in the now. Fiona is supported in her endeavours by her large family of cats and budgies. She has 2 boys, now grown, independent young men. Aside from her work, as someone who believes in a holistic approach to life, Fiona enjoys sailing, socialising and studying.
Recently, some of our clients were able to participate in a boat trip around the shores of Port Noarlunga. This combined with healthy eating practices in the fresh air and surrounded by dolphins made for a very special community activity. Here you see Charmmy, one of our dietitians.

Gluten intolerance is very rare and almost non-existent. Some people especially those with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) can have reactions to pasta and bread. What you may not is that…..this is likely due to fructans and not gluten. Fructans are a type of carbohydrate whereas gluten is a type of protein. Fructans can be found in many foods including garlic, onions and barley and wheat. Fructans are highly fermentable by gut bacteria in people with IBS . This can result in gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort and a change in bowel movements. Coeliac is an autoimmune disorder. When someone with Coeliac Disease consumes gluten the body has an immune response which damages the villi in the small intestine. This can result in stomach pains, nausea, diarrhea and constipation. Long term it also can increase your risk of nutritional deficiencies and bowel cancer, to name a few. If you suspect you have Coeliac Disease, IBS or fructan intolerance it is important to go to your GP for testing. and then if any are confirmed, The Innovative Dietitian can help you follow a diet that will help reduce bloating, abdominal pain and any toilet troubles.
“The whole Kaurna culture is built around sharing with each other and other communities as well. If the other community is in need, you are expected to help them. You do not ask for help or say please or thank you when the help is given to you. It’s something you’re supposed to do in our culture. If you meet someone, you invite them to eat with you as a matter of course. After the person has eaten, they know they don’t have to say thanks because if you were in their culture, you would expect them to help or feed you as well.”
