"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food"

Meet Dr. Carolyn

 

Hello! I’m Dr Carolyn English, a Registered Nutritionist, researcher, and nutrition educator with a passion for helping people feel well through food — especially those navigating complex digestive issues like Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency (CSID) and related sugar–starch intolerances.

​

I hold a PhD in Nutrition Science and a Master’s degree in Human Nutrition, and have published multiple peer-reviewed studies on the relationship between dietary patterns, chronic inflammation, and cardiovascular disease risk. I am currently conducting research into dietary interventions and clinical strategies for managing CSID, with the goal of expanding awareness and improving quality of life for those living with this under-recognised condition.

​

But my interest in digestive health isn’t just academic — it’s personal. After years of unexplained discomfort, I was diagnosed with CSID as an adult. That experience reshaped how I see nutrition: not just as prevention, but as practical, individualised support for those living with chronic digestive symptoms.

​

My approach to CSID is not overly restrictive. Many standard CSID diets eliminate large numbers of foods unnecessarily, which can negatively impact gut health, nutrient intake, and quality of life. I work with individuals to identify their personal tolerance levels and develop flexible, sustainable eating patterns that support a diverse microbiome and overall wellbeing.

​

Through my work, I combine scientific expertise with lived experience to offer compassionate, evidence-based guidance. I don’t promote rigid diets or quick fixes — just real strategies for feeling better, eating confidently, and enjoying food again.
