#03 - Why is poo so taboo?

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 the taboo of POO! Why it is we're so embarrassed to talk about poo and why we need to get over it! We cover what's normal and what's not when it comes to poo, and why learning more about your stools can help you to manage your IBS more effectively. Learn about your IBS sub-type (IBS-C, IBD-D, IBS-M) and what can affect poo type and frequency. We also get into using the wonderful Bristol stool chart (see the show notes below for a link) and symptom evaluation.

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.
