π©π©π©Emerging research does not = grounds for healthcare advice.
π© This is often a term you will see grifters using on social media and it makes their claims look real but actually the research isnβt there to make the recommendations that the are the selling you.

π©π© Foods which are promoted to be good for the gut are not always good for people with IBS.
π© 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.
π₯³ 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.
π So please know that you are not doing anything wrong – you have IBS which means your gut simply doesnβt function well and so you need to tailor generic information.

βοΈ How does your holiday impact your IBS?
π
If truth be told, itβs not the holiday – itβs science. It is how your environment and food changes that will really give you the change in symptoms.

π© Are you scared to reintroduce FODMAPs?
π I get it – you finally have symptom control and suddenly youβre being asked to get symptoms again but this time is different.
πββοΈCheck the above statements I shared with a client to help reframe his thought process around this part.

β€οΈ I canβt tell you how much I loved helping this lady!
π€― So many people think their lives are βtoo busyβ to control their IBS – this is living proof that this thought is a myth.

π€― Super cool research which potentially helps us understand IBS more BUT it does not suggest we need to be supplementing thiamine in IBS or that thiamine deficiency is related to IBS.
π€¬ It makes me really pissed off (but not surprised) that people would misrepresent the research for their own financial benefit.
π Please make sure your information around medical nutrition is only coming from an RD as they are the only health professionals trained to interpret nutrition research.
πββοΈ And you can rest assured that I will be singing from the roof top about any supplement that does actually help like my beloved psyllium husk π.

π Do any of these surprise you?
π€― One thing I love about my job is that over time the science changes and updates. How we understand the human body improves and with this, the outcomes we get for patients improves.
π
Not only is the science improving but having worked with 1000s of people who have IBS I have experience. I see what people manage / donβt manage. I foresee what issues can occur in the future.
π
I am also almost 37- no longer the fresh faced 22 year old who had very little life experience. I have 2 kids, have lived in 3 different countries, worked 70 hour weeks, been in charge of departments, run a company in different time zones, gone through life trauma, experienced loss and health issues – this gives me much needed perspective.
