This week's case study episode is all about Bethany. She had two positive SIBO breath tests and had previously been told to remove all carbs and go gluten free before she came to work with me.

This case doesn't have a neat resolution, but I hope there are still elements you find useful for your digestion, and I like to share the reality of progress with IBS & SIBO. The episode covers:

• Bethany's case and her previous advice
• Why you don't need to be low carb if you have SIBO
• The importance of managing stress
• When cutting out a food group leads to disordered eating
• The importance of retesting for SIBO

Do you seem to react to any kind of carbohydrate? The low FODMAP diet doesn’t eliminate sucrose (table sugar), but for a small number of people, digesting certain types of sugar and starch might be part of their digestive problems. This week I'm talking about:

• Carbohydrate digestion - how we break down sugars and what can go wrong
• The role of the key important enzyme sucrose-isomaltase
• Testing for sucrose-isomaltase deficiency
• How a beneficial yeast supplement might help digest sugars
• What foods are low in starch and sugars, and how does this differ from the low FODMAP diet?

If you have an elaborate routine that you NEED to do before you can leave the house then this episode can help. If you have IBS you aren't the only on who needs to sit on the toilet 5 times before leaving the house, or needs to get up a 5am to fit in that complicated toilet routine before work each day.

This week I'm explaining a few ways to help adjust your anticipatory anxiety with IBS.

Today I’m going back to basics for people who struggle with constipation and feel like they are doing everything right. If you’re fed up of not being about to go to the toilet, this episode could get things moving again.

Here's the three step checks I walk through with my Gut Reset clients:

• Part 1 - first line checks (fibre, water, movement, eating pattern)
• Part 2 - use of laxatives and positioning on the toilet
• Part 3 - looking for further root causes -e.g. bile, methanogen overgrowth, high fat / protein diets)

Today I saw an update from the Monash university about the changes to the classification of FODMAP foods and I’m bringing it straight to you! As a nutritional therapist working with people who have IBS I help people with FODMAP reintroduction so I need to stay up to date with any changes, and I’m bringing them to you, lovely listeners. 

This week I’ll explore WHY FODMAP ratings can change, what it means for you, and which specific foods have been reclassified.
