π Who loves coffee but finds it impacts their IBS too much?
π© Many I speak to have cut out multiple foods that are βbad for IBSβ only to be living a pretty miserable existence.
πββοΈ But as an IBS dietitian I like to help people with a deeper understanding of the science so they can eat more freely and get symptom control.
π§ Yes some people are actually sensitive to caffeine but there is something else you should know that may mean you can tolerate a cup of coffee each dayβ¦When you wake up, this is when your cortisol levels (stress hormone) are at their highest! This is normal. But if you are experiencing anxiety then you may feel this cortisol peak a little more negatively than just a nice little push to βget up and go.β Having coffee at this time will only worsen this impact and ultimately the anxiety, cortisol and caffeine combo can lead to an IBS flare up.
π Instead, try to wait till around mid-morning when cortisol has gone back down to a normal level.

π« π« Have you noticed that there is no consistency is what foods cause you symptoms?
πββοΈ This is why I hate peoples being told to keep a food diary so they can see what the issue isπ« .
π Your symptoms can occur 4-48 hours after the food, because of the amount you had, the combination you had or even other factors like lack of sleep, movement and mental health – all of which make your gut more sensitive.
π The good news is that there is a way to identify food triggers and if you would like to get professional help for this clarity then book in for an enquiry call via the link in my bio.

πββοΈ Did you know this?
π© Sometimes it can feel like you are reacting to everything but that is not possible.
β€οΈ The good news is the food intolerances typically come in well defined groups and when you start to understand that it helps to identify the patterns more easily. The good news being that you will have a tolerance level even with your trigger foods.

π§ Many people suffer with anxiety but only those who have the more severe forms will recognize this. Not realizing that anxiety is impacting your body (even in a small way) means that you will miss an opportunity to improve your IBS.
βΌοΈ Symptoms of anxiety can include panic attacks but also having a dry mouth, changes in behavior (easily irritated), difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep and issues concentrating.
πββοΈ People we work with often see their gut impacted with things like being at work vs the weekend, the stress before a holiday or simply just getting out of the door in the morning.
π The good news is that this impact on the gut can be directly targeted through specific exercises which allow you got about what is your normal day / life.

ππ Please do not do a colonic.
βΌοΈ All the health claims around this procedure are not backed by science and there could be some real dangers associated as well.
π© And this is especially important for those with IBS.
