Imagine getting a perfectly clean bill of health from your doctor — yet still battling painful bloating, urgency, and daily bathroom anxiety. That was Kimberly’s reality for years… until she finally uncovered her one true IBS food trigger.

In this episode, IBS dietitian Jessie Wong talks with Kimberly, a former client who spent over a decade navigating IBS-D symptoms — including severe diarrhea, mucus, inflammation, food fear, and even 2am bathroom trips — without real answers. Despite multiple colonoscopies, blood tests, and visits with GI doctors.

In this inspiring IBS success story, Kimberly shares how she went from food fear, late-night Google searches, and even paying for her own hotel room to hide her symptoms — to finally uncovering her unique IBS triggers and finding freedom with daily regularity, food freedom, and the confidence to travel, eat out, and enjoy life again.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✔️ Kimberly’s 10+ year IBS journey, including urgency, bloating, and inflammation

✔️ Why multiple GI doctors and clean colonoscopies didn’t provide answers

✔️ How poop photos and food tracking revealed her real trigger

✔️ The role of expert dietitian support in safe reintroduction and food freedom

✔️ Kimberly’s advice for anyone stuck on the low FODMAP diet
