May is IBS awareness month and Mother’s Day is right around the corner. I wanted to share a practical approach to IBS management through nutrition. IBS is a gastrointestinal issue where the digestive system is unable to work properly, causing symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits. Symptoms can be managed through different nutritional approaches, especially when they are prominent. 🥒🥕🍌
One approach I suggest to my clients is doing a temporary low FODMAP diet. This approach focuses on minimizing foods that are hard for the body to digest which can cause it to sit in the gut and ferment, leading to IBS symptoms. Foods that are digestible include various vegetables such as carrots and cucumbers, dairy alternatives, nuts and seeds, and beverages such as green tea or black coffee (without milk).
Management of chronic diseases can start with nutritional approaches and having support. I offer a mother and me program and with Mother’s Day coming up, I am offering a special program.
