It’s hard to believe that the pod is a year old! This IBS awareness month, your hosts cover advances and developments that impact how IBS is being managed. Before listening to this episode, please revisit this episode here that talks about cracking the IBS code covering everything you need to know about irritable bowel syndrome. Today’s episode covers:

• The main areas of IBS research to date
• Emerging treatments and studies investigating the gut microbiome in IBS
• Updates with the FODMAP process and its cons such as disordered eating 
• Sandra’s GUTSMART method in managing IBS
• The gut-brain axis in IBS

Breaking the stigma around a diagnosis of IBS should be part of every gut specialist’s mission. IBS is a chronic, relapsing disorder that extends beyond gut motility issues and includes intestinal dysbiosis and a disordered gut–brain interaction. For this reason, a multidisciplinary approach is crucial to work towards living with a more blissful gut.
