π₯Ά It may be soup season but I am seeing this simple popular meal choice cause a lot of issues.
π© Soup may seem like a great option for gut health but it isnβt.
βΌοΈ Soups are quite often less than 100 calories each and when the average woman needs around 2000 calories per day – this just doesnβt cut it for a meal.
π In fact, consuming around 1500 calories per day is associated with an increased risk of constipation as the gut simply slows down.
πββοΈAnd that is before you take into account the calorie needs of someone who is exercising regularly.
πSo have your soup but add a sandwich to it – simple.

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.

πββοΈ Check my interview with The New York Post – talking all about the new #BeanTok trend on social media.
π« 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.
β€οΈ The good news is that most people CAN tolerate beans with a few tweaks.
πββοΈ 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.

π«π₯ Raw milk isnβt the gut health hero itβs made out to be!
Even top athletes can get the science wrong sometimes β and in this case, raw milk might do more harm than good.
Hereβs why π
β Itβs not a probiotic
β οΈ It can contain harmful bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella
β
Pasteurised milk is the safe choice for gut and overall health.
Letβs keep our gut health evidence-based, not influencer-based π§ πͺ

π I was so pleased to be part of this Magneisum debunking media story that has gone viral.
@bbcnewsuk @saudigazette_sa @politikoal
πββοΈ As an IBS dietitian I only use magnesium oxide / citrate as a laxative but I would never use to supplement for actual magnesium levels.
π Nutrition may seem simple at times but often it is not. Just because a nutrient is involved in a pathway in your body does not automatically mean that pathway will improve if you use a supplement.
