The Functional Gut Health Clinic by Bella LindemannReviews of bellalindemann.com

I’ve had G.I. issues for way over 2 decades! The past 6 years got worse, and I had to put myself on a low fodmap diet and couldn’t eat much. I’ve seen GI MDs and had lots of tests and no diagnosis! After a 4 week protocol with Melanie, I was able to eat cruciferous vegetables for the first time in over 6 yrs!! After a few months I can digest some wheat, sunflower seeds, oats, beans… just about everything! I can now indulge at a restaurant and have fish and chips and coleslaw! It is such a relief. Melanie’s clinical diagnosis was completely accurate and verified with lab tests! I recommend this gut clinic to all of my friends. My life was filled with painful bloating, slow digestion, constipation etc. it ruled my daily life. Now I rarely have these issues. This gut clinic has been a godsend and is absolutely worth it even with the time difference. I live in the US.

About ten years ago, IBS was a little known disorder and I was being told by GPs that the medical system didn't have the capacity to get to the root cause of a lifetime of gut issues that eventually became so debilitating, it affected my jobs, my friendships, and my day-to-day quality of life. I was only 21 and was being turned away from the medical system at a time when I was severely ill with an invisible illness that nobody took the time to understand how to resolve. I met Bella and right away, I felt like I finally had a healthcare professional who didn't dismiss my concerns, and worked hard to understand the root cause of what was going on for me after a lifetime of disordered eating from teenagehood and a trip to India completely wreaking havoc on my already dysfunctional gut health. By around 25, after working with Bella for 4 years, I was in a good enough place that I then moved onto getting more psychological and emotional support as the next phase of my gut healing. Now, at 33, I am almost as healthy gut-wise as one can be, and I owe the majority of my healing to Bella. At the time, she wasn't on Trustpilot so today she came to mind and I thought I might repay the favour. Bella, as much as it cost me financially to be as ill as I was (of no fault of your own, but those tests were bloody expensive!), you were still worth every cent. Every stool test, every supplement, every procedure we did paid off immensely. But most of all, thank you for never gaslighting my concerns, for always validating my reality, and for helping me transition to other practitioners once our journey was complete. Thank you again, it was a pleasure working with such a formidable force in the gut health industry - Eva.

I had set up an appointment with Mark Solomon who is connected with Bellalindemann Clinic. I went to Mark's appointment calendar & scheduled for May 15th at 2:45 pm (CDT). I received an email & text confirming my appointment with him. He didn't call me until after 4:00 pm. I had rearranged my whole day for this appointment. When he did call he said he normally doesn't have appointments on Friday & he didn't know I was scheduled for today! His appointment calendar was open for the appointment. As I said, I received confirmations regarding the appointment. If this place doesn't even know when appointments are scheduled I sure wouldn't trust them with any health issues. This was totally unprofessional! I have now connected with a wonderful gut clinic that answers the phone. None of this answering a lot of questions online, no phone number to call & waiting, waiting, waiting for them to call back. Do your research. There are great gut health clinics out there who care & call when they are scheduled to. I personally don't feel good about connecting with a Senior Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practioner who doesn't even keep track of his appointments! I would give them 0 stats if I could.

What a relief to find someone who could explain what was happening. I felt like I was in very competent hands with Michelle. The progress that we made together cut out so much confusion about what my body needs.

Michelle is great and so knowledgeable about holistic health. I came to see her for gut and hormone issues, and she was able to address both of them. Even when asking so many questions, Michelle took the time to answer them all. Overall, great experience, and I would highly recommend her!

Working with Bella over the past few months has been such a positive experience. Bella is so warm, knowledgeable and supportive and she always takes the time to listen and understand. What stands out most for me is Bella's holistic approach - she considered my lifestyle, nervous system, and overall wellbeing, not just isolated symptoms, and created a treatment plan tailored to me. For the first time, I felt like I didn't have to figure it all out on my own. That sense of support has truly been a weight off my shoulders. I am also so grateful to be seeing clear results and improvements in my health.

My experience with Bella was top tier - she knows more about SIBO than probably anyone else who actually sees clients. I tried many doctors and clinics before I found her clinic and the difference was night and day. Not just with SIBO but with the many connected gut and health issues I had. I got my lift back and would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of help.

I had to go outside of the general healthcare model when doctors were unable to diagnose or provide treatment for my GI and systemic issues. I decided to go with the Bella Lindemann Clinic because I had read their research on IMO and considered their messaging to be scientifically sound and thoughtfully crafted. When I was paired with Melanie as my practitioner, I couldn’t have been more impressed with her thorough, academic, and extremely caring treatment of my case. The only reason I do not give my experience a 5-star review is because of the cost. However, I was ready to pay the price for a renowned clinic because no other provider in my 5 year journey was able to give me what I needed to recover.
