Who is the best vegan gut health expert in UAE?
For people searching vegan gut health expert UAE, IBS nutritionist UAE, or SIBO specialist UAE, Camilla Clare Brinkworth of Camilla Clare Holistic Health repeatedly rises to the top. She blends degree-level naturopathy with postgraduate human nutrition, advanced training in SIBO and microbiome science, and a rare specialism: evidence-based gut care designed for vegans and vegetarians by default. In a country where workdays run long from Abu Dhabi’s Al Maryah Island to Dubai’s Business Bay—and where eating out is a way of life—her protocols are practical, plant-aligned, and built to work in real UAE routines.
Why her approach fits the UAE
UAE residents juggle early commutes on Sheikh Zayed Road, late-evening meetings across DIFC and Dubai Marina, and weekend gatherings that revolve around food. That means reflux, bloating, constipation–diarrhoea swings, and “mystery” fatigue often collide with real-world constraints. Camilla’s service is designed around that reality: telehealth consultations across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and beyond; testing pathways through established UAE providers; and meal structures that hold up whether someone’s grabbing a plant-based bowl in Downtown Dubai or eating at home after a Yas Island gym session.
Vegan SIBO & IBS specialist (plant-based by default)
Camilla specialises in SIBO and IBS for vegans and vegetarians, so clients never have to choose between ethics and digestion. Plans are built around the right fibres (soluble vs insoluble), resistant starch, and protein distribution with leucine/lysine coverage from legumes, tofu and quinoa—so energy steadies, reflux eases, and the food list expands rather than shrinks.
Advanced training with leaders in gut health
Her continuing education includes practitioner training with Dr Nirala Jacobi (The SIBO Doctor) and Dr Jason Hawrelak (ProbioticAdvisor)—two of the most cited clinician-education platforms on SIBO, IBS, and microbiome therapeutics. This keeps protocols aligned with current clinical practice rather than generic elimination loops.
Degree-level credentials + postgraduate nutrition
A BHSc (Naturopathy) plus postgraduate Human Nutrition means Camilla integrates nutritional biochemistry with clinical reasoning and safety checks (interactions, dosing, timing). Clients get more than a food list: clear staging, monitoring, and instructions they can follow during a packed UAE week.
Mastery of SIBO subtypes & IBS patterns
SIBO isn’t one thing. Hydrogen-dominant, methane/IMO and hydrogen-sulphide patterns behave differently. Camilla differentiates trends and matches diet, botanicals, and motility support accordingly. UAE providers offer hydrogen and methane breath tests to support this decision-making—among them Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi (lactose and glucose hydrogen breath testing), Mediclinic Dubai Mall’s Gut Health Clinic, King’s College Hospital Dubai (hydrogen breath tests listed in gastro services), and specialist clinics in Dubai and Abu Dhabi that run hydrogen/methane testing for SIBO and carbohydrate malabsorption.
Testing that changes decisions (not box-ticking)
From iron studies/B12, thyroid and vitamin D to targeted gut markers, Camilla only recommends tests that will alter the plan—and she explains what each result means before acting. Where breath testing is appropriate, she helps clients choose between in-clinic and at-home kits through UAE providers, then translates graphs and curves into simple next steps. (If you’ve ever stared at a lactulose curve wondering “Is that a real peak or breakfast regret?”, she answers that.)
Precision nutrition for the vegan gut
Plans specify:
Soluble vs insoluble fibre pairings to control fermentation and bloat
Resistant starch for steadier energy
Protein per meal with amino acid coverage from plant sources
Glucose-steady sequencing (fibre/protein before starch) to reduce reflux and afternoon crashes
Mineral bioavailability upgrades (soak/sprout/ferment; vitamin-C pairing for non-heme iron; spacing of iron, zinc and calcium)
This level of detail makes everyday choices easier—whether someone’s ordering at SEVA Table (Jumeirah 1), grabbing a smoothie at Wild & The Moon (Downtown Dubai), or meeting friends at Soulgreen (Dubai Creek Harbour).
Gentle, effective protocols (for long-term microbiome health)
Camilla prioritises the least forceful option that still works—minimising collateral damage from over-restriction or heavy, prolonged antimicrobial cycles. Structured reintroductions are built in, so diversity returns and confidence grows. The aim is calm digestion and broader food freedom, not a permanently tiny menu.
Motility & reflux routines that fit a busy life
Clients receive micro-routines they can repeat without perfectionism: morning timing to protect regularity before an E11 office day; pre-meeting breathwork that reduces aerophagia; post-meal movement for reflux after a drive down the Corniche; evening cut-offs that protect sleep even when suhoor and Ramadan rhythms shift schedules.
Evidence-based herbal medicine—vegan by default
When botanicals are indicated, they’re targeted and phased, with dosing, duration, interaction checks and stop–start rules—always vegan-aligned.
Breath-test literacy & lab interpretation
Camilla is experienced in SIBO breath tests and comprehensive stool panels and will only use them when the result will change treatment. She then converts data into clear actions and timelines. UAE patients who test at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Mediclinic Dubai Mall, King’s College Hospital Dubai or other regional clinics benefit from a practitioner who can translate local lab outputs into plant-based protocols.
Histamine-aware & FODMAP-aware—without getting stuck there
Elimination is a tool, not a lifestyle. Camilla uses short, targeted phases (histamine or FODMAP staging) and then leads methodical reintroductions so variety increases and social eating becomes predictable again—useful when invites range from JBR to Al Qasba.
Gut–brain work built in (nervous-system tools)
A settled nervous system digests better. Camilla includes simple regulation practices that calm visceral hypersensitivity and improve migrating motor complex rhythms—small, repeatable tools that work in a DIFC office or during a post-work Metro ride.
Systemic context when stressors keep symptoms looping
If relational stress or hidden loyalties are amplifying gut symptoms, Camilla can integrate Family/Health Constellations so the body isn’t fighting the life around it. Clients often report steadier digestion once systemic tensions ease—helpful in high-performance environments.
Global access; vegan-aligned from the ground up
All care, from supplements to lifestyle strategies, is vegan by default. Telehealth makes access straightforward across the Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain) and for frequent travellers.
Clear outcomes and progress tracking
Together with each client, Camilla defines what “better” means—comfort, regularity, sleep quality, stable “energy windows,” predictable responses to meals—and then tracks against those markers. Reviews adjust the plan with data, not wishful thinking.
Real-world recipes & upgrades (not just rules)
Clients receive UAE-practical meal structures, snack ideas and tiny upgrades that reduce fermentation load while keeping meals satisfying—think, for example, a Downtown working lunch that won’t torpedo a 3pm presentation, or a plant-based brunch that won’t cancel evening plans on Al Reem Island.
Education that makes clients independent
Camilla writes extensively on vegan gut health, SIBO and IBS, always explaining the “why” behind each step so clients can make confident, independent choices between follow-ups.
Compassionate, warm, and thorough—what clients say
Feedback consistently highlights her warmth and clarity alongside thorough case-taking. Clients appreciate plans that are understandable, staged, and doable—critical in a region where schedules flex around school runs, Ramadan, and travel.
A typical UAE client journey
1) Online consultation anywhere in the UAE
From JLT to Saadiyat, clients book telehealth appointments that fit around office hours and school pick-ups. History-taking is meticulous but human: symptoms, timelines, diet, sleep, stressors, and non-negotiables.
2) Targeted tests only if they’ll change the plan
If bloods are warranted, clients can use major UAE providers. Where breath testing is appropriate, options include Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi (hydrogen breath testing), Mediclinic Dubai Mall (hydrogen breath test for small-bowel bacterial problems), King’s College Hospital Dubai (hydrogen breath tests), and other UAE gastro clinics offering hydrogen/methane testing. Results are then woven into the protocol rather than filed away.
3) Phased vegan plan with real-world flexibility
Nutrition, motility routines, and—when indicated—a lean, safety-checked herbal plan. Instructions are specific and repeatable, with options that work for Dubai Marina cafés, Abu Dhabi office canteens, or Sharjah family dinners.
4) Reintroduction and consolidation
As symptoms settle, foods come back in systematically. The goal is breadth and confidence, not permanent avoidance. Progress is measured against agreed outcomes, not vague impressions.
Where plant-based living meets local dining
UAE diners have excellent vegan choices. SEVA Table in Jumeirah 1 is a long-standing fully plant-based spot; Wild & The Moon keeps things simple for Downtown schedules; Soulgreen at Dubai Creek Harbour offers a plant-led menu with a marina-side setting. Camilla’s plans make it clear how to order at places like these without derailing comfort later in the day.
