š§ Can you relate?
šš„š Itās no secret that fiber is vital for good gut health, so why then is it that more fiber can often cause issues in IBS? Frustrating right?
š There are 4 main reasons we see this issue in the @theibsdietitianclinic and we use the Take Control System to work through the issues step by step.
1ļøā£ You are increasing too quickly – it will take time for your gut to get used to fiber.
2ļøā£ You are adding a lot of FODMAPs to your diet.
3ļøā£ You are constipated (more on the severe side).
4ļøā£ You are experiencing hypersensitivity to normal digestion.
⦠and sometimes a combination of all of the above.

š«” This marks the third year I will be an advisory board member for Forbes Health.
š In this role I will be advising on the accuracy of health content going out to the general public. As it is so important that this is based on the latest research and medical guidelines which are forever changing.
š And I am always keep to work with companies like this who obviously value trust when it comes to what they are putting out there. Sadly this is not the case with a lot of information online right now š©.

š Listening to your patient is so so important when working with people who have IBS.
š
Is their list of foods they think they are intolerant to correct? Hardly ever.
š But in this list – along with listening to many other elements of their history – you can get a lot of details and start to draw patterns from it.
š And please note that I would never expect someone to just start eating foods they have a deep fear of. This is a process and the first priority is to resolve the symptoms, then comes confidence. Once we get answers I find clients are much more open to then address diet variety and start to tackle some of those food fears.

š§ I would love to know if any of them come as a surprise to you?

December should be a wind down month as a dietitian with the business being not as busy but we had a 4 week school holiday!
ā¤ļøAnd although I am blessed to have a full time nanny, of course the kids really want to be with their mummy so this meant the usually juggling. I even took both kids to an exciting meeting with a brand (will update you soon!) BUT I had Esme running round pretending to be a dog and ended up flashing multiple times trying to breast feed! CHAOS!
š„¹So no fancy Christmas outings to share – just some bits and bobs.
1. Dubai winter atire – it does actually get down to about 14 degrees in the mornings!
2. We had the pleasure of hearing @razanejammal read her new Childrenās book @bookwormdubai.
3. My sister @jenncrothers became a presenter on @bbcradio1 – you can listen to all her shows on their website.
4. Christmas breakfast morning – creating special food for them and also finding something that not only can I tolerate but something that also feels like a treat.
5. Being near water as much as possible – I realised that this is what I NEED regularly. One day I hope you get a house next to water.
6. Working with @slumbertots we finally trained Louis and he is now sleeping 6pm – 6.30am with 1 waking! I just now need to get back to a good bedtime routine!
7. Esme hosted a Christmas movie night for her best friends – very cute! Of course they only watched about 5 minutes of the actual movie.
8. Beautiful Jumeriah – winter in Dubai is amazing!
