Carole Sandhu 

I’m Carole, a Specialist Children’s Dietitian with over 30 years of experience in nutrition and dietetics, including 18 years as a paediatric dietitian in the NHS.

I work with children from infancy through to adolescence, providing specialist assessment and personalised dietary management across a broad range of paediatric nutrition concerns. All consultations are delivered remotely via video call, making specialist dietetic support accessible to families across the UK.

My particular area of specialist interest is fussy and picky eating, including ARFID and feeding difficulties in children with ADHD and autism. I take a gentle, pressure-free, child-centred approach, grounded in current evidence and adapted to each child’s individual sensory and nutritional needs.

I accept referrals and self-referrals across the following areas:

Fussy and picky eating

• Limited diets and food refusal

• ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)

• Feeding difficulties associated with ADHD or autism

Infant and toddler feeding

• Weaning and introducing solids

• Feeding difficulties in infancy

Digestive and gut health

• Reflux, constipation, diarrhoea and IBS

Allergies and intolerances

• Food allergies including cow’s milk protein allergy

• Multiple food allergies and intolerances

Nutrition, growth and development

• Growth concerns and faltering growth

• Nutritional deficiencies

• Vegetarian and vegan diets for children

• Sports nutrition for young athletes

• Healthy eating and balanced nutrition

I provide a comprehensive initial assessment followed by personalised, evidence-based dietary management tailored to each child’s clinical needs, developmental stage, and family circumstances. My aim is to work collaboratively with families and with other professionals involved in a child’s care where appropriate.

I am happy to accept GP and professional referrals, and families are also welcome to self-refer.
