Jacquelyn’s Story
When looking back on my journey with digestive issues, I remember the years spent waking up with severe bloating, abdominal pain, constant fatigue, and a sense of overwhelming frustration with how to get back to truly living my life.
My journey led me to numerous gastroenterologists, where I was diagnosed with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). My curiosity about my condition grew, and I delved into understanding how it could be managed through nutrition and lifestyle changes. However, during countless doctor's appointments and emergency room visits, I was often met with advice that felt restrictive and insufficient—lifelong elimination diets and vague suggestions to "stress less" without much practical guidance. Meanwhile, working with multiple health coaches left me overwhelmed by supplements and even more dietary restrictions. I realized that individualized nutrition care tailored to each person's unique symptoms and lifestyle was crucial for effective symptom management.
These experiences inspired me to become a registered dietitian dedicated to helping others navigate their digestive health journey with empathy and evidence-based guidance. My mission is to provide unwavering, evidence-based support and create a space for your healing journey, allowing you to live your fullest life possible. I blend my professional expertise as a registered dietitian with the kind of support and understanding I wished I had during my own journey.
Today, I am grateful to say that my digestive symptoms are well-managed, and I am confident that there is a path to healing for everyone. Remember, healing from gastrointestinal issues is possible, and your journey begins with one clear, effective, and sustainable step at a time.
What Jacquelyn’s Clients Say
“I honestly never thought I’d get here…no more throat pain, no more disruptive sleep due to reflux, positive reintroductions of my trigger foods, no more fear of certain foods…
“When I began working with Jackie, I was diagnosed with LPR, Gerd and gastritis. My symptoms included severe throat pain during the day and sharp burning throat pain at night. My GI doctor advised me to cut out the trigger foods and prescribed pantoprazole. At a follow up he prescribed Sucralfate because my throat was so irritated and inflamed. He then upped my pantoprazole dosage. I just knew that the prescribed medications were not treating the root cause of my symptoms and pain.
Jackie was supportive, empathetic and patient, listening to my fears, questions and concerns. She quickly and personally developed a protocol just for me, addressing my symptoms and diagnosis. She recommended gut-healing recipes from the Flora app and prescribed supplements to ease my throat pain and my reflux at night. The relief certainly didn’t happen overnight.
But as I slowly and consistently incorporated gut healthy foods back into my diet and used the supplements as prescribed, I began to notice decreased burning in my throat at night which allowed healing of my very inflamed throat tissues. Soon after, I no longer needed the sucralfate! My continued one-on-one consultations with Jackie brought positive adjustments to my diet and supplements. SO positive that during my follow-up appointment with my GI doctor, I was able to decrease the dosage of the pantoprazole by half, beginning the weening process of my extended use of the PPI. As Molly always says, consistency is the secret sauce!
Jackie continued to reassure me that I was doing everything right and supported me when I would experience the occasional, frustrating, breakthrough symptoms. She would encourage me to lean into my nervous system protocols, stay calm using diaphragmatic breathing and meditations which were key in my healing journey. She cheered me on from the sidelines every step of the way!
I honestly never thought I’d get here…no more throat pain, no more disruptive sleep due to reflux, positive reintroductions of my trigger foods, no more fear of certain foods! I am forever grateful to Jackie, Molly and the Flora community. Molly and her team’s approach to nutrition counseling is evidence based, rooted in science, designed to address your individual symptoms/diagnosis. Reach out to Molly and her team if you are struggling with LPR, GERD or any digestive issues. Your gut will be so glad you did!””

“Working with Jacquelyn has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health…
I came to her in the middle of a really difficult time — struggling with relentless GERD and LPR symptoms that left me feeling helpless, anxious, and defeated. I truly didn’t think I would ever find hope or relief. From day one, she met me with compassion, knowledge, and unwavering support. She gave me encouragement when I needed it most and helped me feel seen and heard. Her approach was thoughtful, personalized, and grounded in healing, not restriction. I confidently recommend Jacquelyn to anyone seeking a gut health nutritionist. She has not only helped me return to a normal life but also empowered me with the tools to navigate any potential future issues.”

“It is a relief to find someone who listens, understands and offers real solutions that work…
Before working with Jacquelyn Ehmer, I was experiencing many frustrating upper GI symptoms. I experienced a sensation of heart palpitations, chronic coughing and voice changes. I didn’t think I would ever find relief. I had been to several doctors and even ER visits without answers or relief. Finally, I received a diagnosis of silent reflux, LPR. Fortunately, I found Jacquelyn online and began working with her. She helped me identify foods that irritated my LPR, helped me to learn to eat mindfully and added natural supplements that worked to reduce inflammation in my esophagus. I have learned I can go out and eat foods I love in small amounts without re-experiencing a flare. It is a relief to find someone who listens, understands and offers real solutions that work! Besides, Jacquelyn is pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Jacquelyn Ehmer if you are struggling with Gerd or LPR.”

“I honestly never thought I'd experience the relief and healing that I do today…
With Jackie's continued, positive support, encouragement, guidance and side-line cheerleading, I feel proud to be this far along in my reflux relief/healing journey. I honestly never thought I'd experience the relief and healing that I do today, but thanks to Molly, Jackie, the amazing FLORA app and community, my symptoms are 0-1 now and I'm even experiencing more restful sleep at night. Thank you, Jackie and Molly!”

“I would recommend Jackie and the FLORA app for anyone who needs guidance in their journey to maintain a healthy gut…
“During my sessions with Jackie, I am so pleased with her help in my reflux journey. She is very reassuring, offers positive feedback and gives tips to reduce my symptoms. After eight weeks, I am having less episodes of burping, gas and queasy stomach during the night. I would recommend Jackie and the FLORA app for anyone who needs guidance in their journey to maintain a healthy gut. I couldn’t have achieved this without my 1:1 sessions with Jackie and the FLORA community!”

Jackie is very kind and informational. She explained everything about my plan and why we were doing everything on it. She made sure I was ok with everything she suggested. My pain level is literally like 2-3/10, verses 8-9/10 and only on occasion versus constantly. My anxiety has also diminished. I did so much this week in terms of going out, being with family, being present than I have in the past 6 months. So grateful, just thankful for having found Flora, as i had lost hope of ever getting better.

I felt so heard from Jacquelyn when I was expressing to her the anxiety & isolating feelings I have towards food due to reflux and IBS. I have a clear schedule now on food ideas I can eat throughout the week. I like how she doubles checks on how I think about everything before setting it into a plan. She is the sweetest. FLORA nutrition has helped me tremendously throughout my healing journey. From using the app to meeting with Jacquelyn. I 100% recommend!

My fears of eating are disappearing. Jacquelyn was great at explaining how I could arrive at a plan for safe eating, to get out of that flight or fight response mode, so I would feel more secure eating."
