If you have IBS you may also experience fatigue. In fact around 60% of people with IBS experience extreme exhaustion. Fatigue is the third most common non-digestive complaint in IBS.

This is more than just tiredness, it’s feeling weak, ill and completely lacking in energy, and it’s something I see in my clients a lot. 

In this episode I'll share 9 potential reasons why you may feel exhausted with IBS.

Should you test for SIBO if you have IBS? 

In this episode of the Inside Knowledge for people with IBS I’ll share my thoughts on Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth and whether you should consider it a cause of your digestive symptoms - even if you have constipation predominant symptoms. 

SIBO occurs when more microbes than normal grow in the small intestine. These ferment your food, interfere with digestion and can cause the same symptoms as IBS such as bloating, gas, pain, diarrhoea and constipation.  

But how do you know if it is your issue? Let's find out.

🔍 Understanding SIBO: I break down how an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine can wreak havoc on your gut health.

🔍 IBS & SIBO: Discover the connection between IBS and SIBO, as we explore why many IBS sufferers may also have underlying SIBO.

🔍 Common Symptoms: Learn to identify the tell-tale signs of SIBO and its potential impact on IBS symptoms, from bloating and gas to irregular bowel movements.

Are you finding it hard to be vegetarian when you have IBS? It can be challenging to change your diet anyway, but it’s especially hard when most of your major protein containing foods are mega bloat foods? 

That’s exactly what I’ll cover in this episode of the Inside Knowledge

Vegetarian IBS diet to minimise the bloat

In this episode, I dive into the world of plant-based solutions for bloating and digestive discomfort. You’ll learn

• Which vegetarian protein foods are less likely to make you bloat
• How to calculate how much protein you need 
• How to manage the low FODMAP diet as a vegetarian
• What’s the deal with protein powders?
• Practical tips for incorporating more vegetarian foods into your lifestyle

Protein requirements - Calculations I mention in the podcast:

Protein requirements - Maintenance - 0.75g/ kg of body weight and Active - 1.5g / kg of body weight

• If you’re 60kg (9 stone 6, or 132 lbs) you would need 48g – 90g protein per day
• If you’re 70kg (11 stone, or 154lbs) you would need 56g-105g protein per day
• If you’re 96kg (15 stone 1lb, or 212lbs) you would need 76g – 144g protein per day

This is based on lean body mass, not including the weight of fat. You can use your ideal weight to calculate the protein requirements, not your current weight, if you have body fat of <30%. Otherwise this calculation would lead to you eating a huge amount of protein every day which would probably be unsustainable.
