What is REVIBE exactly?
The culmination of years of clinical experience dealing with digestive health conditions like IBS,
REVIBE is a holistic nutritional and lifestyle-based strategy that goes beyond elimination alone.
REVIBE has 4 foundations that inform any nutritional intervention:
-
Targeted approach
First considering the patient’s primary symptom profile: IBS-C, IBS-D or IBS-M.
-
Step-wise algorithm
Adopting a step-wise approach using low-risk interventions.
-
Eating disorder aware
Screening for eating disorder (historic, existing or elevated risk) before commencing elimination diets.
-
Mental health aware
Educating the patient about the gut-brain-axis and employing a multi-modal approach for those living with anxiety.
REVIBE gives dietitians the skills to help their clients live symptom-free while maintaining quality of life and a healthy, happy relationship with food.

"I have adapted the REVIBE method in practise with my IBS clients and it has allowed me to get better, all-rounded results.
I also feel confident having a plan in place for clients who are not suitable for the low FODMAP diet (for example backgrounds of disordered eating) and to set up the foundations for those who are, to ensure we are implementing it as safely and effectively as possible. I also feel much more confident using fibre supplements and probiotics since adapting the REVIBE method and working with Elissa."

How REVIBE has
changed practice for dietitians like you.
Since implementing the REVIBE approach I have had clients who have reported to have better symptom management compared to when they had trialed an elimination diet, the main reason was because it felt less stressful and easier to follow. For me it has made it much more streamline in terms of what I try with client who are diagnosed with IBS or other gut health issues, and not have to use an elimination diet as my first approach

As someone who practises with 'first-line' strategies for IBS rather than recommending elimination diets from the start, I have found it really useful to have clinical supervision from a dietitian who also practices in this way. Many of my clients are often interested to learn what they can be doing without having to go onto a restrictive diet, and they get excellent results without needing to go down that pathway. Elissa's REVIBE model has given me more tools in my toolkit to practise with first-line strategies; in particular I've learnt a lot more about fibre modification, and practical tips for recommending over-the-counter supplements such as gentle laxatives and probiotics. I've also learnt ways to communicate complex ideas into more simple messages for clients, such as describing gut-directed hypnotherapy and how our nervous system regulates gut symptoms.

I completely changed the way I approach my clients with functional gut issues after learning the REVIBE model with Elissa. The feedback from clients has been amazing as well. Most of my clients are busy, working/studying people, who more often than not have tried a low FODMAP diet in the past with poor results. This is likely because it just doesn’t fit with their lifestyle. Being able to make small changes with the REVIBE model has really brought hope back into the lives of my clients that they CAN reduce their digestive symptoms, without having to spend hours a week thinking about it.

As a clinician who works in gut conditions but also credentialed in Eating Disorders, as soon as Elissa introduced me to her REVIBE model I was so excited by this as it urges dietitians to avoid jumping straight in to restrictive diets as a first line management for gut issues, which we know can cause more harm and not necessarily sustainable outcomes. This model also provides permission for dietitians to follow a more meaningful and sustainable model of care for our clients.

The story behind REVIBE...
We became dietitians to help people eat nutritious food, right?!
REVIBE is my answer to a perennial challenge in addressing digestive disorders like IBS – how to alleviate symptoms without sacrificing quality of life, compromising nutrition, exacerbating anxiety, or triggering disordered eating.
My experience with the low FODMAP diet.
While research by Monash University published in 2005 led to a quick uptick in practising dietitians adopting a low FODMAP framework, I didn’t actually start using it clinically until around 2012. Up until then, I had been getting good results applying the NICE guidelines, focussing on regular meals, reducing irritants, and modifying fibre intake.
The challenges of elimination diets.
Anyone who’s worked in this space will know, proper implementation requires a very strict elimination period. Having to count out your snack of almonds and measure the ratio of broccoli heads to stalks takes its toll. I watched as my clients’ family dinners disintegrated, eating out became impossible, and going on holidays became anxious and overwhelming (rather than relaxing).
