IBS food support in Singapore

IBS and Indian food in Singapore

About 9 in 100 people in Singapore have IBS, according to Singapore General Hospital’s HealthXchange, which describes the low-FODMAP diet as a way to find the foods that set off your symptoms.

Alongside your family doctor or polyclinic

In Singapore your family doctor or polyclinic looks after your care. Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents aged 40 and above can enrol in Healthier SG with one family clinic, which draws up a health plan with them. DietXP is a private online service from India and is not part of Healthier SG.

Indian food in Singapore

Tekka Centre and the shops around Little India stock everything from curry leaves to atta, and hawker favourites such as roti prata, thosai and nasi briyani are part of daily life. We plan around hawker meals, kopi and teh, and office lunches.

Practical details

  • Singapore is 2½ hours ahead of India, so sessions fit easily into your day.
  • Fees are in SGD and are the full amount you pay.
  • In an emergency call 995. For medical advice when it is not an emergency, call the NurseFirst helpline on 6262 6262.

Hawker meals and low FODMAP

Hawker meals can be a good fit: rice, rice noodles and many soups are easy to adapt, while dishes heavy in onion, garlic or wheat need more planning. We help you choose at the hawker centre and at home, within the plan from your doctor or dietitian.

Nutrition education and practical food support. Diagnosis, medicines and medical treatment stay with your treating team.

Getting ready

What to have ready for your first consultation

You do not need to send reports before booking. We tell you how to share them before your first consultation.

  • Polyclinic or hospital reports, including your HealthHub records
  • Any food lists or low-FODMAP plan from a dietitian at your polyclinic or hospital
  • A simple diary of meals and symptoms for one or two weeks, if you can
  • Your medicines and supplements
  • What you eat on a usual day, including work meals, snacks and eating out

IBS support in Singapore: your questions answered

Do I need an IBS diagnosis first?

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.

How much do the IBS programmes cost in Singapore?

Core (3 months) is SGD 460 and Extended (6 months) is SGD 874. These are the full prices, with nothing added when you pay.

What does each programme include?

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.

How do I pay?

After we confirm your booking in writing, we send the payment details on WhatsApp or by email. You pay the fee in SGD; payment goes to DietXP in India, so your bank may add a cross-border fee.

When will I get my written plan?

Within 2 working days of your first consultation. Your follow-ups, booked on Singapore time, then review how it is going and adjust the plan.

Which languages can I use?

English, Hindi or Kannada, with Maria. Tell us which you prefer when you message us.

What time are the sessions?

Singapore is 2½ hours ahead of India, so sessions fit easily into your day. We book a time that suits you.

Will I have to stop eating Indian food?

Not automatically. The conversation starts with your usual meals and individual tolerance. We can explore practical alternatives without assuming an entire cuisine is unsuitable.

Is low-FODMAP part of every programme?

No. It is not necessary or suitable for everyone. If your treating team recommends it, ask about appropriately trained dietitian support, a short trial, reintroduction and personalisation. It should not become an indefinite list of forbidden foods.

Can the programme promise symptom relief?

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.

Can you plan around hawker food?

Yes. We look at the hawker dishes you eat most and suggest choices and portions that fit the advice from your doctor or dietitian, alongside what you cook at home.

Is this part of Healthier SG?

No. DietXP is a private online service from India. Your Healthier SG clinic or polyclinic stays in charge of your care, and you can use DietXP alongside it.

Can my family join?

Yes. The person who cooks or helps with meals is welcome on your calls, whether they live in Singapore 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.

What happens when my programme ends?

You can finish there or ask about continuing. We explain the options and the fee before you book anything new.

Your doctor stays in charge

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.

In an emergency call 995. For medical advice when it is not an emergency, call the NurseFirst helpline on 6262 6262.
