Lauren Gladman Paediatric Dietitian

Lauren is one is one of the most knowledgeable, dedicated and caring health professionals I’ve ever met. We first reached out to her for guidance with my son who had severe CMPI, reflux and developed aversive feeding behaviours and poor growth. Before our first consult, I had little understanding of what a dietitian could help us with, but within the first minutes I felt like we were on steady footing at last. She was literally the missing piece of the puzzle and connected us with the best practical advice, linked us in with our other specialist team (paed, gastroenterologist and speech pathologist) and helped escalate things as needed. I hate to think where we would have ended up without her support and compassion. Nothing is ever too much trouble and she is so responsive, we trust her implicitly. She helped us navigate the feeding aversion, solids and oral food challenges and our now 2 year old son is able to eat an unrestricted diet. We have since seen Lauren again with our 5 month old daughter who has the same issues. I can’t sing her praises highly enough and have every confidence she can help you too!

Lauren had helped both my children with their dietary issues. She is professional, highly knowledgeable and extremely caring. She has a tailored approach to the individual child to help meet their needs. Highly recommend!

Lauren is a phenomenal paediatric dietitian who provided specialised nutritional information for my daughter who suffered from CMPI. Lauren helped successfully introduce soy and dairy into my daughter's diet, and provided exceptional support throughout-often emailing and phone calling to answer my concerns or questions. Her knowledge far exceeded the specialists we had seen in the months prior, and I only wished we had found her sooner.We felt comfortable to visit in-person during the height of Covid as Lauren also went above and beyond in ensuring safe practices too.

Lauren is an extremely knowledgeable and supportive dietician. She knows all the tricks of the trade. Lauren educated & guided my son, enabling him to achieve his health goals. We are so happy that we decided to see her.

I would like to highly recommend Lauren. She has done so much for us that we will be forever grateful. My son was born prematurely and had a severe eating disorder, reflux and was NG and then PEG tube fed for over 3 years. I first meet Lauren when my son was only few months old. Our goal was to provide enough nutrients for his healthy growth, oral skill development and weaning him of tube feeds. Thanks to Lauren guidance, extensive knowledge and support we have achieved excellent results. My son now at age 4 eats almost everything and he loves to try new food. Lauren is very caring, helpful and realistic in what is achievable. Occasionally I felt overwhelmed with ongoing struggle but I have always felt supported and I thank Lauren for her dedication.

My families experience with Lauren was fantastic. Lauren explained the methodology behind her treatment plan, decisions and made it easy for us to follow the diet plan. My child found her warm and engaging and felt she was part of the discussion. We had a perfect result at the end of our course of treatment and a plan we will be able to apply for years to come. I could not recommend Lauren more highly.

Thank you Lauren for proving an amazing, empathetic, professional service to us and our son for the first 20 months of his life with CMPI, suspected FPIES and other intolerances, feeding challenges.We came to Lauren at a time I had felt left in the dark by other healthcare providers and she shone light for me on what can otherwise be quite a complex and worrying diagnosis in very young children.Lauren’s friendly, pragmatic, evidence based, easy to follow step by step advice and clearly explained long term strategies made navigating these multiple food challenges much less stressful and helped empower me to know I was doing all I could for my child in the circumstances.I can not recommend Lauren more highly as a pediatric dietician.
