Audio. IBS quick tip. Don't go low FODMAP forever
Not a universal diet, not blanket exclusions, not safe for long term use!
The low FODMAP diet isnât forever.
If you want to try a low FODMAP diet be sure you do this with a registered dietitian who knows both IBS and FODMAPs. Not all dietitians do.
This should follow a 3-phase process that takes about 12 weeks total.
Beware that long term low FODMAP diets risk nutrient deficiencies, microbiome impact, and harm to your gut.
The goal here isnât lifelong avoidance of all high FODMAP foods.

Audio. #2. Another constipation frustration. This time it's insoluble fiber.
If insoluble fiber foods are IBS triggers, why can't I just avoid them?
Iâve got my top five constipation frustrations and this is number two.
(Donât miss number one!)
If insoluble fiber foods are IBS triggers, I just wonât eat them at all!
No. Do not do this.
With IBS, taking things to any extreme can make symptoms worse, not better.
Insoluble fiber foods (âroughageâ - like bran, raw fibrous veggies, salad greens, unpeeled fruits, seeds, skins, kernel corn) are very powerful GI tract stimulants.
For people with normal bowel function, insoluble fiber can relieve constipation and poses no problems.
But for those of us with dysfunctional guts due to IBS, insoluble fiber spells big trouble.
