⁣TDC’s tried and tested low FODMAP pre-exercise snackies 🤌⠀
⠀
What’s the aim of pre-exercise fuel? To power up with some carbs 🔋✨⠀
⠀
How do we time our intake with training?⠀
⌚Aim for a high-carbohydrate based meal 2-4 hours before your training session.⠀
⌚Top up with a carbohydrate rich snack 15-60mins before your training session.⠀
⌚IF YOU TRAIN IN THE AM there’s no need to sacrifice sleep to eat 2-3hrs before training. Instead, aim to consume an easily digestible carbohydrate-rich snack 15-60mins before your training session.⠀
⠀
What’s on the TDC low FODMAP pre-training menu?⠀
-strawberry jam on sourdough⠀

The low down on - probiotics. What’s the go?

Do probiotics help improve irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms?

Probiotics are one of the many treatment options that can be utilised to help manage and improve IBS symptoms. Evidence suggests that certain strains of probiotics can help to improve diarrhoea, constipation and bloating for IBS sufferers.

However, the jury is still out when determining how effective they can be. Some will notice improvements in their symptoms, whereas for others, not so much. To complicate matters, there are many different types of probiotics on the market and many different types and causes of IBS.

On average, probiotics can help manage IBS symptoms. The amount they help may not be large or consistent. However, it can be enough to improve overall symptom management when used alongside other IBS interventions.

Work with our dietitian, Michelle, who can match your symptoms with a specific probiotic.
