About Kinga
Hello! My name is Kinga Portik-Gumbs, and I am a NYC based dietitian, specializing in IBS, SIBO, and GERD. My passion for helping people with their gut problems stems from a history of personal struggles, and from meeting with those who have been battling GI problems for years. I am also intrigued by how much our brain health and gut health are connected, and I truly believe healing or at least improving one will improve the other.
Approach to care
The most important factor is to understand where you come from, what the background of your gut struggles is and WHY you want to heal. My goal is to equip you with all the right tools in knowing how to recognize what is a normal vs. abnormal symptom, how you can enjoy your life without fearing to eat many foods. I want to take you from a "fearful" food to a "happy" food zone as i help and teach you how to improve your gut problems for the long haul.
Your first session with Kinga
Our first session will mostly be a "get to know you" session. To best serve You, I need to get to know You! We will explore your "why", your journey so far, what you diets and approaches you tried before, what worked and what didn't. The more I know about you, your history and your future goals the better I can help you. We are putting down fundamentals before we are building the house.
