Concluding our nutrition mini-series, nutritionist Evie Whitehead explains why she hates the phrase Irritable Bowl Syndrome and prefers to focus on what is actually going on in the gut to discover root causes of the symptoms grouped under the IBS umbrella. It's literally an uncomfortable subject and there is quite a lot of poo-talk but Evie has some sound advice and interesting opinions.

This is the gut health episode where Evie and I talk about the auto immune disorder Hashimo thyroiditis and also ‘leaky gut’ which she has written a great blog about:

We also talked a fair bit about poo! Actually, how it’s a good indicator for gut health, so very useful for diagnosis by nutritionists.

Another passion of Evie’s is teenage diets and we talked about the links between them and poor mental health amongst young people.

Her ‘tip of the day’ is about fibre intake and here’s a useful link to her excellent Eat Better/Feel Better programme:
