Many people diagnosed with IBS turn to restricting certain foods or food groups in hopes of alleviating their digestive troubles. Oftentimes, this restriction can lead to fearing food and unhealthy eating habits. Not only does this negatively impact the psyche but it also impacts the body on a physical level. This anxiety around food can worsen IBS symptoms, thus creating more anxiety. 

In this episode, we will discuss what food fear is, how the anxiety it creates can worsen digestive symptoms, the role of the gut-brain connection, and tips to minimize food fear.
