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.

Why breakfast is important if you have IBS
Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? Many people I work say they just don’t feel hungry in the morning, and so avoid eating. Maybe you don’t want to start off your bloating that hits as soon as you eat. Or you feel a bit nauseous first thing and want to...
Does being overweight cause IBS?
I'm getting straight to the point with this one - There isn't any evidence that being a heavier weight causes IBS, but there are associations. What we eat, and the way food moves through the body can impact our body size, and can also affect digestive symptoms like...
