Bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, discomfort, unpredictable digestion - IBS can feel like an unsolvable mystery.
In this episode, we’re joined by registered women’s health dietitian Sara Widdowson, who breaks down Irritable Bowel Syndrome in a way that actually makes sense.
We talk about what causes those frustrating symptoms, why so many women (especially those with endometriosis) experience them, and most importantly how to manage IBS through simple, practical diet and lifestyle changes.
What we love most about Sara is how she takes complex gut health science and makes it feel totally doable and empowering.
• 80% of women with endometriosis also experience IBS
• The low FODMAP diet helps 75–80% of people manage symptoms
