🫠🫠 Have you noticed that there is no consistency is what foods cause you symptoms?
🙋♀️ This is why I hate peoples being told to keep a food diary so they can see what the issue is🫠.
😐 Your symptoms can occur 4-48 hours after the food, because of the amount you had, the combination you had or even other factors like lack of sleep, movement and mental health – all of which make your gut more sensitive.
🙏 The good news is that there is a way to identify food triggers and if you would like to get professional help for this clarity then book in for an enquiry call via the link in my bio.

🙋♀️ Did you know this?
😩 Sometimes it can feel like you are reacting to everything but that is not possible.
❤️ The good news is the food intolerances typically come in well defined groups and when you start to understand that it helps to identify the patterns more easily. The good news being that you will have a tolerance level even with your trigger foods.

🧐 Many people suffer with anxiety but only those who have the more severe forms will recognize this. Not realizing that anxiety is impacting your body (even in a small way) means that you will miss an opportunity to improve your IBS.
‼️ Symptoms of anxiety can include panic attacks but also having a dry mouth, changes in behavior (easily irritated), difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep and issues concentrating.
🙋♀️ People we work with often see their gut impacted with things like being at work vs the weekend, the stress before a holiday or simply just getting out of the door in the morning.
🎉 The good news is that this impact on the gut can be directly targeted through specific exercises which allow you got about what is your normal day / life.

🙏🙏 Please do not do a colonic.
‼️ All the health claims around this procedure are not backed by science and there could be some real dangers associated as well.
😩 And this is especially important for those with IBS.

🙏 Thank you to this fab Take Control client for sharing her experience.
❤️ So so so amazing to see people changing their lives.

😅😅 If your expecting your IBS dietitian to hand out a one size fits all diet plan then think again.
🤯 The truth is that IBS can be impacted by many areas of your life and vice versa.
😩 What is the point in getting better following a strict diet and only seeing a little relief?
❤️ The Take Control approach to IBS is really about not just getting symptom control and identifying food triggers but getting VERY good symptom control in a routine which works for you.

🤯 Gut inflammation is a real thing but it’s not the ‘thing’ you learnt about on social media.
🙏 Please stay skeptical when learning new information online.

🧐 Can you relate?
🍒🥑🍌 It’s no secret that fiber is vital for good gut health, so why then is it that more fiber can often cause issues in IBS? Frustrating right?
😊 There are 4 main reasons we see this issue in the @theibsdietitianclinic and we use the Take Control System to work through the issues step by step.
1️⃣ You are increasing too quickly – it will take time for your gut to get used to fiber.
2️⃣ You are adding a lot of FODMAPs to your diet.
3️⃣ You are constipated (more on the severe side).
4️⃣ You are experiencing hypersensitivity to normal digestion.
… and sometimes a combination of all of the above.
