Is IBS still running your life - even though you’ve tried the low FODMAP diet?
Are you cutting out more and more foods, following all the “rules", taking probiotics or supplements, and still dealing with bloating, indigestion, and abdominal pain?
Or maybe the low FODMAP diet worked at first, but now your IBS symptoms are creeping back in and you’re wondering, why did it stop working?
If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you.
Today, we’re talking about one of the most recommended IBS treatments out there: the IBS low FODMAP diet.
This was the diet I put myself on in 2015 when my IBS, constipation, and bloating started. It was the diet I followed perfectly for 2 years because it helped reduce my symptoms, but it never fully healed my gut, and every time I tried to reintroduce foods, all my symptoms came rushing back.
Now, after working with hundreds of clients with IBS for over 8 years, I've heard this story over and over and over again. So on today's episode, I'm diving into WHY the low FODMAP diet is not working for thousands of people with IBS (likely millions) - and what to do instead to find IBS relief.
In today's episode, we’ll talk about:
- What the low FODMAP diet is
- Who developed it
- How the low FODMAP diet for IBS theoretically is supposed to work
- Why, for many people, the low FODMAP diet isn't helping
- What to do instead to find your real IBS causes and get the IBS treatment you need to permanently reverse your IBS
Because removing foods isn’t the same thing as healing your gut. And if your low FODMAP diet isn’t working… there’s a reason.
Let’s go find it.
