πββοΈ One of my go-to IBS supplements is psyllium husk.
π
It is not overly nice to drink but boy does it work!
π©Great for D and C – it bulks out that stool which helps the gut regulate the speed and then helps you fully empty at the other end.

π November in pics.
1οΈβ£ I am finally getting back to BJJ a little more now and starting to know how my body works post giving birth π
. Just need to keep working on my mind-body connection.
2οΈβ£ I had this lovely message from a previous client – although my programmes are 3 months long itβs always nice to know that our actual goal of long-term relief is working π.
3οΈβ£ I recorded a podcast about IBS with @drkaranrajan which I will share when available.
4οΈβ£ @spinneysuae Annual Festive Dinner – we were treated to a multiple course, fine dining experience with Spinneyβs and I had the pleasure of meeting one of the talented chefs @hattemmattar .
5οΈβ£ Better UAE weather has meant more eating outside – but still sticking to a Mediterranean diet.
6οΈβ£Christmas fairβs are in full flow! This was @the_els_club_dubai
7οΈβ£ UAE national day celebrations.
8οΈβ£ As we head towards Christmas it has been great to continue with our group IBS coaching. Here is a little summary of some of the topics we covered on a call.

π© Did your SIBO treatment work?
π Whilst the only proven way to get rid of SIBO is antibiotics, there are a number of issues in the management of this condition.
π What we really want to avoid though is the unnecessary use of antibiotics- especially in a gut which is already sensitive.

βΌοΈIf youβve been told your IBS is actually SIBOβ¦ this might change everything.
β¨π§A new 2025 European Consensus paper has revealed that SIBO breath testing is far less reliable than previously believed.
πββοΈHereβs what the experts found πβ¨β’ Breath test results donβt match symptomsβ¨β’ They donβt match small-bowel aspirates (the most accurate method)β¨β’ Lactulose breath tests only identify 42% of actual SIBO casesβ¨β’ And around 30% of positive results are false positivesβ¨β’ Meaning LOTS of unnecessary antibiotics
πThe consensus is clear: SIBO is real β but itβs rarely linked to IBS unless there are significant structural changes or severely slowed motility.
β
So if you have IBS and think you also have SIBO, a breath test is unlikely to give you useful answers. What will help is a complete, evidence-based approach to IBS rather than chasing an unreliable diagnosis.

πββοΈ Have I missed any?
πββοΈ Whilst I love the interest in gut health these days, a lot of βgut healthβ books are not useful for someone with IBS where they wonβt tolerate the suggested foods or regimes. And those suggestions are actually for someone who doesnβt have IBS.
πThe books suggested above really fall into those 4 pillars of the Take Control approach – sleep, movement, mental health and nutrition. And importantly, they all provide practical guidance.

π€ I had some great enquiry calls this week – spending time with people who have IBS and seeing if and how I can help them.
βΌοΈ But these are some common misconceptions that came up and have come up in previous calls also – misconceptions that probably hold people back from getting the support they need.
π Please make sure that when you do reach out to someone that they are a registered dietitian to avoid a lot of these pitfalls.

π© I am so tired of seeing these marketing videos going out to people who are in a really vulnerable place with their health – when will people realize you can run really good businesses and genuinely help people with research backed advice?
π Anyway, please note IBS is a real condition with a really well structured diagnostic criteria that involves a very specific set of tests to be done to rule out other conditions.
πββοΈ Once you have this diagnosis, you can start to apply some of the 1000s of research papers showing ways to help this condition.
