Cancer Nutritionist & Dietitian Support You Can Actually Trust
I'm Gina Giebner, a cancer dietitian with 20+ years of specialist gastrointestinal experience and a current NHS oncology caseload. I help people optimise nutrition before, during and after cancer treatment — and resolve long-term digestive problems that are often dismissed as “just IBS.”
Search “cancer nutritionist near me” and you'll find generalists. My practice is built specifically around the nutritional and digestive effects of cancer treatment — evidence-based, clinically grounded, and available UK-wide by video, or in person in Selkirk and Haddington.
Why Choose a Specialist Cancer Nutritionist Over a Generalist
Generic nutrition advice doesn't account for the specific ways surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or hormone therapy change digestion. My work as a cancer dietitian sits at the intersection of oncology and gastroenterology — identifying the real, treatable cause of your symptoms, not applying a one-size-fits-all diet sheet.
Nutrition Support Before & During Cancer Treatment
Optimising nutrition status ahead of surgery or treatment, and managing side effects like nausea, appetite loss or altered taste as they happen.

Meet Your Cancer Dietitian, Gina Giebner
As a current Macmillan Dietitian at NHS Glasgow and a specialist cancer nutritionist for over 20 years, I combine day-to-day oncology caseload experience with advanced training in the late gastrointestinal effects of cancer treatment. That's the difference between generic diet advice and care built around what treatment actually did to your body.
Every consultation, course and resource on this site is written and delivered personally — not outsourced, not templated.
Credentials & Clinical Experience as a Cancer Dietitian

Frequently Asked Questions About Cancer Nutrition Support
A cancer dietitian assesses how a diagnosis and its treatment affect your ability to eat, digest and absorb nutrients, then builds a personalised plan to manage side effects, protect nutritional status, and address longer-term digestive changes after treatment ends.
Yes. A Registered Dietitian is regulated by the HCPC and trained in clinical nutrition science. Gina's practice combines that with current NHS oncology experience and advanced training in the late effects of cancer treatment — expertise a general nutritionist won't hold.
Often, yes. Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and hormone therapy can each cause identifiable, treatable changes to bowel function that are frequently mislabelled as IBS.
Remote video consultations are available UK-wide and internationally, with the same clinical assessment and plan as an in-person appointment. Face-to-face clinics also run in Selkirk and Haddington, Scotland.
Take the Next Step: The Bowel Freedom Method
A clinically-informed, step-by-step course to calm urgency, reduce diarrhoea, and restore confidence with food and daily life after cancer treatment — built from the same evidence base as one-to-one consultations, at a fraction of the cost.
