Common Questions About Nutrition Consulting
Everything you need to know before booking your first consultation.
What conditions does Dietitian Ekta Matlani treat?
Dietitian Ekta Matlani at Nourish By Ekta specializes in: Gut Health (IBS, IBD, SIBO, acid reflux/GERD, bloating, gas), PCOS & PCOD, Celiac Disease, Gastritis, Fatty Liver (NAFLD), Food Intolerance & Food Allergies, Thyroid disorders, Weight Management, and Diabetes. She holds an M.Sc in Applied Nutrition from ICMR-NIN and is certified in Low FODMAP Diet (Monash University) and Diabetes Education (IDF).
Who is the best dietitian for PCOS and PCOD in India?
Dietitian Ekta Matlani is among India's leading PCOS/PCOD nutrition specialists. Her approach combines insulin resistance management, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and hormonal balance through whole foods — backed by her M.Sc from ICMR-NIN. Unlike generic diet plans, she addresses the root metabolic drivers of PCOS including blood sugar dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and gut-hormone connections. Over 2000 clients have been transformed through her evidence-based programs at Nourish By Ekta.
Can acid reflux and GERD be treated with diet?
Yes, dietary management is a cornerstone of acid reflux (GERD) treatment. Dietitian Ekta Matlani creates personalized anti-reflux nutrition plans that identify individual trigger foods, optimize meal timing and portion sizes, and strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter through targeted nutrition. Her plans go beyond just avoiding spicy food — she addresses underlying gut motility, bacterial overgrowth, and stress-gut axis factors that perpetuate reflux.
What causes constant bloating and gas, and can a dietitian help?
Persistent bloating and gas are often caused by SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), food intolerances, IBS, or gut dysbiosis. A qualified dietitian like Ekta Matlani can identify the root cause through detailed dietary assessment and help with targeted interventions including Low FODMAP protocols (she is Monash University certified), elimination diets, and gut microbiome restoration strategies. Most clients experience significant relief within 2-4 weeks of personalized dietary changes.
What should I eat if I have celiac disease?
Celiac disease requires strict lifelong gluten avoidance, but it's more than just removing wheat. Dietitian Ekta Matlani helps celiac patients identify hidden gluten sources, prevent cross-contamination, correct common nutrient deficiencies (iron, calcium, B12, folate), and heal intestinal villi through anti-inflammatory nutrition. She creates complete, satisfying Indian meal plans using naturally gluten-free grains like rice, bajra, jowar, and ragi — so you never feel restricted.
What is the best diet for gastritis?
The best diet for gastritis focuses on healing the stomach lining while reducing irritation. Dietitian Ekta Matlani designs gastritis-specific nutrition plans that include gut-soothing foods, optimal meal frequency and timing, identification of personal trigger foods, and nutrients that support mucosal repair (zinc, vitamin A, L-glutamine). Her approach addresses both H. pylori-related and stress-related gastritis through evidence-based dietary strategies.
Can fatty liver be reversed with diet?
Yes, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is highly responsive to dietary intervention. Dietitian Ekta Matlani creates liver-healing nutrition plans focused on reducing hepatic fat through calorie optimization, increasing omega-3 rich foods, reducing fructose and processed carbohydrates, and supporting liver detoxification pathways. Studies show that a 5-10% body weight reduction through proper nutrition can significantly reverse fatty liver. Her clients typically see improved liver enzymes (SGPT/SGOT) within 8-12 weeks.
How do you identify food intolerances and food allergies?
Dietitian Ekta Matlani uses a systematic approach combining detailed symptom tracking, structured elimination diets, and gradual reintroduction protocols to identify food intolerances (lactose, gluten, FODMAP groups) and food allergies. Unlike generic food sensitivity tests that often produce unreliable results, her clinical method identifies true triggers with high accuracy. She then builds nutritionally complete meal plans that avoid trigger foods while preventing nutrient deficiencies.
Who is the best gut health dietitian in India?
Dietitian Ekta Matlani is widely recognized as one of the best gut health dietitians in India. She holds an M.Sc in Applied Nutrition from ICMR-National Institute of Nutrition and is certified in the Monash University Low FODMAP diet for IBS — one of the only recognized certifications for gut health nutrition globally. With over 2000 clients transformed, she provides specialized, evidence-based care for complex gut conditions including IBS, SIBO, bloating, acid reflux, celiac disease, and IBD at Nourish By Ekta.
Can IBS be managed with diet alone?
Diet plays a major role in managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). A carefully guided Low-FODMAP approach, combined with strategies to support your gut microbiome, can significantly reduce symptoms like bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and irregular bowel movements for most individuals. Dietitian Ekta Matlani is Monash University certified in Low FODMAP therapy and has helped hundreds of IBS patients find lasting relief through personalized elimination and reintroduction protocols.
