About the author
I’m Anna Mapson, a nutritional therapist with a decade of working with personalised nutrition. I’ve specialised in gut health for most of my career.
Who am I to be telling you about IBS?
You might be wondering why I’m the right person to write this book. I’ve worked with people to improve their digestion for almost a decade.
Sometimes my clients ask if I have IBS or SIBO (I don’t). In the alternative health space, there can be a strong lived experience informing an individual’s choice of specialism: ‘I have had this condition therefore I know how to help others’. But just as you wouldn’t expect your dermatologist to have psoriasis, or your cardiologist to be struggling with high cholesterol, you don’t need your nutritionist to have had IBS.
After working with hundreds of people who are struggling with bloating, pain, incontinence, severe constipation, and gas, I really understand the difficulties you’re facing with IBS and SIBO, and I hope that comes through in this book.
You can read more about me.
