Simone L. Peters is a Gastroenterologist based in Melbourne, VIC. She works with people who have gut symptoms that can be hard to live with day to day. If something in your digestive system keeps coming back, it can affect your sleep, mood, and energy. Simone focuses on getting a clear picture of what’s going on and helping you move towards steadier control.
Her clinic care covers conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), coeliac disease, and malabsorption. IBS can look different for different people. Some days it’s more cramping and bloating, and other times it’s changes in bowel habits. In many cases, the goal is to find triggers, manage symptoms, and support better day-to-day routines.
For coeliac disease, the conversation often starts with comfort and clarity. Simone helps people understand how the condition affects the gut and why diet matters. Getting the right diagnosis and sticking with the right approach can be a big adjustment, so she keeps things practical and easy to follow.
With malabsorption, the issues can be more than just gut discomfort. People may notice ongoing diarrhoea, weight changes, low iron, or tiredness. At times, the symptoms can feel a bit confusing or “off”, and it can take time to work out the cause. Simone looks at the pattern of symptoms and the results available, then discusses the next steps in a calm, straightforward way.
Simone’s approach is about listening first. She takes time to hear what you’re dealing with, how long it’s been happening, and what makes it better or worse. Then she helps plan care that fits around your life, not just the paperwork. This might include tests, review of prior results, and practical advice to help you understand what your body is telling you.
In the end, the aim is simple: better gut health and fewer worries. Gut problems are common, but they don’t have to run your life. Simone L. Peters works with patients across Melbourne to support safer, more confident care, whether you’re dealing with symptoms that keep returning or a diagnosis that’s new to you.
