Many women who’ve had an eating disorder are told they’re “recovered”… yet soon after, IBS symptoms begin.
⠀
What’s really happening?
Lingering restrictive habits, over-training, and pressure to maintain a lower body weight can quietly fuel chronic digestive issues — even years later.
⠀
The good news: with the right support, your gut can heal, and your relationship with food and your body can improve more than you ever expected. 💙

🤯 One of the biggest complaints I hear about IBS is the amount of brain space it takes up.
❤️ And the good news is that once you get on a clear pathway to control your brain space become MUCH more available.
👀 Chat GPT is a really useful tool to help you organise and focus your efforts. For Take Control members there’s actually a lesson on this in the bonus area.

🙋♀️ One of my go-to IBS supplements is psyllium husk.
😅 It is not overly nice to drink but boy does it work!
💩Great for D and C – it bulks out that stool which helps the gut regulate the speed and then helps you fully empty at the other end.

Most people don’t “fail” the low FODMAP diet — the method fails them. 💙😣
⠀
If your symptoms only improved a little (or not at all)… 😕
⠀
Or you ended up stuck on a restrictive diet you couldn’t maintain… 🥴
⠀
You’re not alone. 🤝
⠀
In my Take Control process, I teach a clearer, simpler, more effective way to use the low FODMAP diet so you can finally understand your triggers and get long-term relief. ✨🌱

🍂 November in pics.
1️⃣ I am finally getting back to BJJ a little more now and starting to know how my body works post giving birth 😅. Just need to keep working on my mind-body connection.
2️⃣ I had this lovely message from a previous client – although my programmes are 3 months long it’s always nice to know that our actual goal of long-term relief is working 🎉.
3️⃣ I recorded a podcast about IBS with @drkaranrajan which I will share when available.
4️⃣ @spinneysuae Annual Festive Dinner – we were treated to a multiple course, fine dining experience with Spinney’s and I had the pleasure of meeting one of the talented chefs @hattemmattar .
5️⃣ Better UAE weather has meant more eating outside – but still sticking to a Mediterranean diet.
6️⃣Christmas fair’s are in full flow! This was @the_els_club_dubai
7️⃣ UAE national day celebrations.
8️⃣ As we head towards Christmas it has been great to continue with our group IBS coaching. Here is a little summary of some of the topics we covered on a call.

😩 Did your SIBO treatment work?
😒 Whilst the only proven way to get rid of SIBO is antibiotics, there are a number of issues in the management of this condition.
🙏 What we really want to avoid though is the unnecessary use of antibiotics- especially in a gut which is already sensitive.

‼️If you’ve been told your IBS is actually SIBO… this might change everything.
🧐A new 2025 European Consensus paper has revealed that SIBO breath testing is far less reliable than previously believed.
🙋♀️Here’s what the experts found 👇
• Breath test results don’t match symptoms
• They don’t match small-bowel aspirates (the most accurate method)
• Lactulose breath tests only identify 42% of actual SIBO cases
• And around 30% of positive results are false positives
• Meaning LOTS of unnecessary antibiotics
🙏The consensus is clear: SIBO is real — but it’s rarely linked to IBS unless there are significant structural changes or severely slowed motility.
✅So if you have IBS and think you also have SIBO, a breath test is unlikely to give you useful answers. What will help is a complete, evidence-based approach to IBS rather than chasing an unreliable diagnosis.
