🤙 I had some great enquiry calls this week – spending time with people who have IBS and seeing if and how I can help them.
‼️ But these are some common misconceptions that came up and have come up in previous calls also – misconceptions that probably hold people back from getting the support they need.
🙏 Please make sure that when you do reach out to someone that they are a registered dietitian to avoid a lot of these pitfalls.
🙋♀️ And if you would like my free guide, comment ‘guide’ below.

😩 I am so tired of seeing these marketing videos going out to people who are in a really vulnerable place with their health – when will people realize you can run really good businesses and genuinely help people with research backed advice?
🙏 Anyway, please note IBS is a real condition with a really well structured diagnostic criteria that involves a very specific set of tests to be done to rule out other conditions.
🙋♀️ Once you have this diagnosis, you can start to apply some of the 1000s of research papers showing ways to help this condition.

🥶 It may be soup season but I am seeing this simple popular meal choice cause a lot of issues.
😩 Soup may seem like a great option for gut health but it isn’t.
‼️ Soups are quite often less than 100 calories each and when the average woman needs around 2000 calories per day – this just doesn’t cut it for a meal.
🙃 In fact, consuming around 1500 calories per day is associated with an increased risk of constipation as the gut simply slows down.
🙋♀️And that is before you take into account the calorie needs of someone who is exercising regularly.
👍So have your soup but add a sandwich to it – simple.

😩😩 Foods which are promoted to be good for the gut are not always good for people with IBS.
😩 This can lead to a lot frustration from people with IBS who are putting in a lot of effort to try and improve their IBS – only to worsen their symptoms.
🥳 The good news is that you can absolutely tolerate a lot of these foods which are good for the gut BUT after you first control your symptoms and then learn what your specific triggers are. Over time I find that clients not only do this but then tolerate more foods in general anyway when their gut is working well.
🙏 So please know that you are not doing anything wrong – you have IBS which means your gut simply doesn’t function well and so you need to tailor generic information.

🙋♀️ Check my interview with The New York Post – talking all about the new #BeanTok trend on social media.
🫘 Whilst beans are amazing for your gut – they can be very difficult to digest for people with IBS. AND even for people without IBS – consuming 2 x cups per day is a lot of fiber to tolerate.
❤️ The good news is that most people CAN tolerate beans with a few tweaks.
🙋♀️ I also find with my clients that they can tolerate more with time because beans use the gut microbes to digest them and if you look after this process then it will improve with time.

✨ If you’re a woman aged 40–44 with IBS, this is your sign to start paying attention.
😩Perimenopause is coming — and those shifting hormones can make IBS symptoms flare.
🫠From changes in bowel habits to sleep disruption and bloating, it’s all connected.
🥳 But here’s the good news: the same core foundations that help IBS — sleep, movement, mental health, and nutrition — also support your perimenopausal body.
💪 One action plan. One stronger you.

🚫🥛 Raw milk isn’t the gut health hero it’s made out to be!
Even top athletes can get the science wrong sometimes — and in this case, raw milk might do more harm than good.
Here’s why 👇
❌ It’s not a probiotic
⚠️ It can contain harmful bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella
✅ Pasteurised milk is the safe choice for gut and overall health.
Let’s keep our gut health evidence-based, not influencer-based 🧠💪
