Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Irritable Bowel Syndrome can cause considerable discomfort and upset to one’s life if left untreated. It is a disorder that affects the large intestine whereby some sugars are left undigested and are fermented by the bacteria that live in the large intestine. The fermentation process can produce excess gas and can trigger symptoms in people with IBS.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome & food intolerances are areas that Jessica consults people for each and every day. We specialise in this area and are very experienced with managing people with symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. With the latest research supporting the Low FODMAP diet, we will show you how to implement this diet while ensuring your diet is nutritionally balanced.
The Low FODMAP diet allows you work out which fermentable sugars/ foods in your diet are causing your to symptoms of bloating, discomfort, diarrhoea, constipation and excess wind, and which foods are not. Each and every person has a different set of symptoms which irritate the gut and so each person requires individualised advice. The Low FODMAP diet is only a short term diet and should not be followed longer than necessary as it is quite restricted.
It is vital that you see your GP to rule out any other possible causes of your symptoms such as Coeliac Disease, stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal disorders and even some cancers.
It is strongly recommended that the Low FODMAP diet is followed with the guidance of an experienced dietitian.
