Podcast
And I’d rewrite the description so your name and brand are right at the top:
Struggling with IBS, bloating, constipation, diarrhea or confusing food triggers? The IBS Dietitian Podcast is here to help you understand what is actually going on in your gut and what you can do about it.
Hosted by Kirsten Jackson, Consultant Dietitian and founder of The IBS Dietitian, this podcast gives you practical, evidence-based advice for managing IBS and improving your gut health.
Expect straightforward conversations about bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food triggers, the low FODMAP diet, fiber, gut bacteria, probiotics, food intolerances and the gut-brain connection.
Kirsten has worked with people with IBS for over 15 years and cuts through the confusing gut health advice online to explain what the science actually says, and importantly, how you can apply it to your own gut.
Whether you’ve just been diagnosed with IBS or you’ve spent years trying to figure out your symptoms, you’ll learn why your gut behaves the way it does and the practical steps you can take to improve it, without unnecessarily restricting your diet.
New episodes weekly.
Feel Bloated and 6 Months Pregnant?
This episode of The IBS Dietitian Podcast breaks down why IBS bloating happens—and what actually helps.
UK registered dietitian Kirsten Jackson explains why IBS bloating is common, distressing, and often worsened by unnecessary food restriction.
She distinguishes bloating (heaviness/fullness) from distension (visible abdominal expansion), covers gas production and food timing, FODMAPs and portion “stacking,” the low FODMAP elimination and reintroduction process, the constipation connection, gut microbiota truths (including warnings against commercial microbiome tests), and visceral hypersensitivity—plus a multifactorial case study, practical steps, and when to seek medical and dietitian support.
