Ep.18 Mastering FODMAP reintroduction – IBS Podcast
How to reintroduce foods back into your diet after you’ve done the elimination diet. If you haven’t heard the overview, go back and listen to Ep 17 where I explain what the FODMAP diet is, who it’s for and who shouldn’t use it.
Today, we’re talking about how to bring things back in again if you start to feel better after taking the foods out of your diet. And I’m going to talk about how to do it bit by bit, and also what happens if you do get a reaction. What should you learn from that? And how can you build out your long term diet that hopefully minimizes your symptoms
Ep.19 Should you go dairy free if you have IBS? IBS Podcast
Would you like to start eating ice cream on holiday again? Maybe you’re really missing a nice cheese board at Christmas or that stringy long cheese as you pull apart a piece of pizza. I’m talking about dairy, lactose and whether you need to remove it from your diet if you’ve got IBS. It could be that you’re just sensitive to lactose.
Or maybe you are vegan or you are allergic to dairy. I’ll explain how to eat a well-rounded healthy dairy-free diet.
Ep.16 Should you go gluten free if you have IBS?
Should you go gluten free if you have IBS? In this episode of the Inside Knowledge podcast, I’ll share my thoughts on gluten free diets for IBS. I’ll talk about the difference in gluten between different grains and why you might feel better going on a gluten free diet, but not necessarily for the reasons that you think.
And what about oats, or rye, or spelt? Are these better? Are these okay to eat? It’s a common suggestion to remove gluten when you get an IBS diagnosis, but actually, there are downsides to restricting your diet if you don’t need to. And think about all that bread you could be missing unnecessarily. So listen in, find out all you need to know about eating gluten and IBS.
Ep.10 How that dodgy takeaway years ago caused post infectious IBS
Have you ever had food poisoning? Maybe you spent a night on holiday with a dodgy tummy and kept running to the bathroom with diarrhoea all week. Or maybe a bad local takeaway left you vomiting all night. And now, five years on, you’ve got regular IBS symptoms like abdominal pain, gas, bloating and erratic bowel habits. If this is you, you could have post infectious IBS.
It might have led to an overgrowth of microbes in your small intestine called SIBO. Post infectious IBS is one of the most common causes of IBS, and we don’t know exactly how it causes your symptoms, but in this episode of the Inside Knowledge podcast, I’ll share everything that you need to know about post infectious IBS so you can start to tackle your gut symptoms.
Ep.9 IBS success stories – taking control of IBS constipation

Ep.8 Improving a vegetarian diet when you have IBS
Are you finding it hard to be vegetarian when you’ve got IBS? It can be really challenging to change your diet at any time, but it’s especially hard when most of your major protein containing foods are the mega bloat IBS foods.
So this is exactly what I’m going to cover in this episode of the inside knowledge.
You’ll learn which kind of vegetarian protein foods are less likely to make you bloat, how to actually calculate how much protein you need. I’m going to talk about how to manage the low FODMAP diet as a vegetarian. You’ll also hear how to download my fake meat vegetarian review at the end.
Ep.7 Hormones and IBS – How your period makes your digestion worse
Do you find your IBS gets worse around your period? It can be extra challenging at certain times of the month to keep digestive issues under control and in this episode of the Inside Knowledge, I’ll share with you how your hormones affect your digestion and how your digestion affects your hormones.
I’ll be explaining why you might get period poos, and yes that is a real thing, as well as explaining why you might get constipated in the run up towards your period and what you can do about it. Even if your perimenopausal and your hormones are all over the place. There are things you can change through diet and lifestyle that will help your hormones and your IBS.
Ep6. IBS tracker – the data you need about digestion
When my clients start working with me, I ask them all to complete a diet diary. Some people wonder whether it’s worth the effort and feel like it’s a bit of an inconvenience, which I totally get. We are all busy and it’s just another thing to do. However… After even just one week of tracking your food and digestive symptoms, we can start to see patterns and useful data about your diet that can help shape a nutrition plan.
In this episode of the Inside Knowledge, I’m going to give you a better understanding of diet and symptom tracking for IBS. So you can try it for yourself at home, and you can also download my actual template that I use with my clients to give it a go for yourself.

These things put people off going on holiday sometimes.
Perhaps you need a break from your digestive discomfort, but it just comes with you wherever you travel. And it could be that you are too scared to go on holiday because you’re so worried about the traveling aspect. Maybe you don’t know how to tackle flying or long train journeys. In this episode of The Inside Knowledge, you will find out.
