#02 - What is IBS anyway?

LAURA TILT (MSC, DIETITIAN RD) AND HUELYA AKYUEZ (SEZAMEE - GUT LOVING FOOD)
About this episode

The Gut Loving Podcast is all about irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the low FODMAP diet! The low FODMAP diet is a relatively new approach to effectively treat IBS symptoms and is scientifically backed by a vast number of medical studies.

In this episode, we delve into exactly what IBS is (and isn't!) and why it's important to get a diagnosis - and how to go about it. We also chat about the most common symptoms and some of the possible causes of IBS. 

About this podcast

The Gut Loving Podcast is hosted by Laura Tilt (an experienced Dietitian in the UK specialising in IBS and the low FODMAP diet) and Huelya Akyuez, who founded sezamee - gut loving food (online recipes and low FODMAP pop-up events) after living with IBS for over 20 years.

Together, Laura and Huelya started The Gut Loving Podcast to help others with IBS get clear on the facts - and learn more about how to take control of their condition.

Remember: Don’t start the low FODMAP diet without consulting your doctor or low FODMAP specialised dietitian first. The content of our podcast is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
