Japan’s IBS guideline (Japanese Society of Gastroenterology, 2020) puts diet therapy in the first step of treatment. It notes that most evidence for the low-FODMAP diet comes from Western studies, and that its benefit in Japan still needs study.
In Japan you can go straight to a local clinic. Public health insurance (National Health Insurance or your employer’s plan) usually pays 70% of the cost and you pay 30%. Large hospitals charge an extra fee, from JPY 7,000, for a first visit without a referral letter. The AMDA International Medical Information Center (0120-339-266 or 03-6233-9266) helps you find clinics where your language is spoken.
Nishi-Kasai in Tokyo’s Edogawa ward has Japan’s best-known Indian community, and Indian groceries can also be ordered online. We work with Japanese staples such as rice, tofu, fish, noodles and konbini meals, alongside the Indian ingredients you can get.
Rice, rice noodles and many Japanese dishes are easy to adapt, while wheat, onion, garlic and pulses need more planning. We help you combine Japanese staples with the Indian food you miss.

Getting ready
You do not need to send reports before booking. We tell you how to share them before your first consultation.
This support is for adults with diagnosed IBS. If symptoms are new, unexplained or changing, see a doctor first rather than assuming they are IBS.
Core (3 months) is JPY 56,491 and Extended (6 months) is JPY 107,489. These are the full prices, with nothing added when you pay.
Both start with a first consultation and a written food plan within 2 working days. Core adds 3 scheduled follow-ups and WhatsApp support during agreed hours. Extended adds 6 follow-ups, priority WhatsApp support, a nutrition progress assessment at 90 days and a full progress report at 180 days.
After we confirm your booking in writing, we send the payment details on WhatsApp or by email. You pay the fee in JPY; payment goes to DietXP in India, so your bank may add a cross-border fee.
Within 2 working days of your first consultation. Your follow-ups, booked on Japan time, then review how it is going and adjust the plan.
English, Hindi or Kannada, with Maria. Tell us which you prefer when you message us.
Japan is 3½ hours ahead of India. We book a time that suits you.
Not automatically. The conversation starts with your usual meals and individual tolerance. We can explore practical alternatives without assuming an entire cuisine is unsuitable.
No. It is not necessary or suitable for everyone. If your doctor recommends it, ask about support from a registered dietitian (kanri eiyōshi) with low-FODMAP training, for a short trial, reintroduction and personalisation. It should not become an indefinite list of forbidden foods.
No specific outcome is guaranteed. Symptoms can have several influences, and food changes that help one person may not help another. Your medical care remains important.
The AMDA International Medical Information Center (0120-339-266 or 03-6233-9266) can help you find clinics where your language is spoken, and phone interpretation for a clinic visit can be booked in advance. Please see a doctor first if your symptoms are new or changing.
No. DietXP is a private online service from India. Your clinic can advise on local dietitian services, and you can use DietXP alongside them.
Yes. The person who cooks or helps with meals is welcome on your calls, whether they live in Japan or in India. If you are contacting us for someone else, please let them know. We ask for their agreement before we discuss their health.
You can finish there or ask about continuing. We explain the options and the fee before you book anything new.
Speak to your doctor about new, severe, persistent or worsening digestive symptoms. Do not use a food plan to delay medical assessment or stop prescribed medicines.
