Hi, my name is Matt Douglas and I have been an accredited Naturopath for over 15 years, specialising in digestive health and the natural treatment of IBS, SIBO and other chronic digestive conditions. I utilise functional gut testing to identify the root causes and imbalances responsible for bloating, constipation, diarhhea, GORD, gas and abdominal pain.
You want to discover and correct the root cause of your symptoms, rather than just suppressing symptoms. At the Digestive Wellness Clinic, an experienced Naturopath who specialises in digestive health, will take the time to listen to you and your history, conducting a thorough case history, symptom analysis and referral for functional pathology testing, to discover what's really behind your symptoms.
Bloating, diarrhea, constipation, gas, and abdominal pain are the most common complaints I see, and I understand how frustrating and debilitating these symptoms can be. Despite what you may have been told there is a reason you are experiencing the symptoms you are. Latest research has shown there are causes for IBS, which can be treated.
Feeling this way, with the frustration and self-consciousness that comes with it, can affect your work, social life, and relationships. If you are experiencing symptoms like these there is a reason why. It's not normal to be experiencing excessive bloating or distension on a regular basis. You need to find the root cause.
That may seem like an impossible dream to you right now. However, it is possible to experience these types of bowel movements even if you have been chronically constipated for years. Incomplete emptying of the bowels. You may go every day but there is a sensation of not being empty, that there is more to go.

After a 6-month programme with Matt I am extremely appreciative of his extensive knowledge, professionalism and the detailed, logical approach he took and shared with me in addressing my SIBO problems. At all times he kept me up to speed with my situation and was there to encourage me to stay on the right track and be mindful of a sensible eating regime throughout (and now, following) the journey back to 100% good health. Thank you Matt!

Matt is the best digestive expert there is! I found the Digestive Wellness Clinic by searching for someone with a wholistic approach to treating digestive issues and have had such a great experience. Matt is incredibly knowledgable about all digestive issues and was able to get right down to the root cause of my discomfort, which was SIBO. The treatment plan was specific and personalized, and worked really well for me. Even when there were a few unanticipated outside factors that came up, Matt was able to adjust my treatment plan so I didn't lose the progress I'd made. I've even referred some of

In 2019 I fell extremely ill and lost over 9kgs in 2 days. I was admitted to hospital and remained there for 14days. After many tests nothing was diagnosed. A couple of months later I decided to move to Sydney where I had some more tests. Immediately they found trace of a parasite.
My health had deteriorated rapidly, I had no energy, moody,tired,headaches,poor circulation the list was endless. I found it very hard to deal with because before that I was training six days a week and running 10k and 21k races etc.
Matt @ Digestive Wellness came on recommendation to me. After my consultation we introduced

Coming from a medical background, I took the conventional medical approach, when my IBS symptoms, over a number of years, became too severe to cope with.
My General Practitioner and Gastroenterologist addressed any potential diseases, and led me to the low-FODMAP diet. Amazing for symptoms but not a long term solution, since my diet was extremely limited and so not healthy long-term. My own research came up with SIBO as a possible cause of my IBS.
Although SIBO has been studied for many years it is still largely an unrecognised condition in Australia, and so finding a practitioner that is current

After getting sick on a trip to India over 5 years ago, and more recently taking a course of Roaccutane I’ve struggled with severe upper abdominal bloating and cramping almost immediately after eating. It got to the point where I was avoiding eating at restaurants and even wearing jeans. I was left feeling lost and after multiple unsuccessful courses of antibiotics and an IBS diagnosis, I thought that things wouldn’t change for me. It is hard to put into words how happy I am with the improvements I've seen thanks to Matt. I genuinely feel like I have my life back. I feel so much more confident

Matt has been a godsend for me and I am constantly recommending him to others with digestive health problems. I had struggled with IBS-D symptoms for so long that I can’t even remember when it started. I’d seen many different doctors and had been on a low FODMAP diet for over 5 years, which had helped to ease the symptoms, but over time these had continued to worsen and other problems had emerged.
In desperation, I found Matt and via phone consultations between my home in Queensland and his office in Sydney he turned it all around. Having far more knowledge than anyone else I had seen, he

I enlisted the help of Matt after frequent abdominal pain and the broad diagnosis of IBS from doctors. I was determined to do more to heal than just stick to a recommended low-fodmap diet, indefinitely. I wanted to restore my gut back to optimal health and thrive. Matt helped me achieve this. A year ago, I didn't think recovery was possible. I will always be grateful for Matt's invaluable knowledge, support, and effective approach. I will continue to choose Matt for my digestive and gut health needs in the future, and have no hesitation recommending Matt.

Recommend Matt to anyone having trouble with their gut and at a loss with unhelpful doctors. Matt gives a highly effective questionnaire to narrow down your symptoms. After being ill for over two years with no answers Matt gave me tests to determine what I had, something no doctor bothered to do previously. The answer ended up being something I had never even heard of. Matt is very knowledgeable and caring of his patients. He put me on herbal medication and a strict diet but all I can say is follow it to a tee - he knows exactly what he is doing. I'm happy to say he helped heal me from the inside

I suffered from chronic constipation and IBS for many years. I felt very unwell most of the time and very tired. Over the years, I tried western and non-western medicines, and every diet under the sun, to help resolve my symptoms. All with little to no impact. I am super grateful for Matt's guidance and wholistic approach. His approach is deeply informed and considered. Not long after staring Matt's regime, I started to feel well and I had energy. Best of all, I was regular again. I now feel really well. I highly recommend Matt from The Digestive Wellness Clinic.

Matt is very personable and has a lovely manner. He is very knowledgeable in human anatomy and the digestive system. He takes time to thoroughly get to know you as a person and your symptoms and puts together an appropriate individual plan. Matt will guide you to positive results through embracing a new approach to nutrition. In my case, conventional medicine couldn’t help, but Matt’s naturopathic approach did. Thank you Matt for your help! 😊
