Fibre for Fodmappers

So what happened when a dietitian, a nutritionist and an IBS researcher walked into a bar?

You bet they talked a lot of poop!

 

Here’s the recording of the webinar “Fibre for Fodmappers: building better bowels in IBS” featuring Ele Stojanoska (Dietetic Gut Clinic), Shaynie Ashkenazi (Fodshop) and Dr Josephine Muir (Noisy Guts).

If you didn’t catch it live or don’t have time to listen to it in its entirety, here are three key highlights.

Highlight #3: How to do a poop challenge!

Frustratingly, there isn’t a cure for IBS, yet. But personalised fibre therapy can help you manage IBS symptoms.

 

Keeping a record of your poop over a 2-week period will provide you and your fodmap-trained dietitian a benchmark to work from. If you want to do your own poop challenge, listen to Josephine explain how to use the Bristol Stool index (starts at 45.57 mins). It’s not as complex as it sounds. It’s as easy as keeping a daily record of your poop type. Does your poop look like maltezers, a picnic bar or melted chocolate?

And that’s a wrap!
