Are you struggling with IBS? I've brought IBS expert Jessie Wong, RD, on to help guide us through managing it. We start by explaining what IBS is, from its different types to the challenges of diagnosis, as well as shed light on unproven "miracle cures" and emphasize the importance of evidence-based treatment.
Diet plays a big role in IBS, and Jessie helps us explore the connection between food, inflammation, and gut health. We also dive into the popular Low FODMAP diet, explaining its purpose and potential pitfalls.
But IBS isn't just about food. Stress can be a major trigger, so this episode provides strategies to manage it. Plus, we explore other effective techniques for improving gut motility and overall well-being.
This episode is your roadmap to take control of your IBS. Tune in and discover how to navigate the twists and turns with confidence!
