EATING DISORDERS AND IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💩 Sadly, I see many people with IBS who have had a history of an eating disorder or sometimes clients that are displaying symptoms of one currently and they don't realise.

😏There is a link between digestive problems and IBS.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋‍♀️ In this week's episode of The Take Control podcast I chatted to BBC dietitian @priya_tew who is an expert in eating disorders. 

We cover
➡️ What an eating disorder is
➡️How to recognise if you may have an eating disorder
➡️ The link between disordered eating and digestive problems 
➡️ How to tackle IBS if you have an eating disorder currently or previously.
➡️ Where to get help and support. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‼️You can listen to my podcast on any of the usual platforms.. Just search 'Take Control'.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

CONSTIPATION vs LOW FODMAP DIET - share this post. CONSTIPATION vs LOW FODMAP DIET - share this post.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💩The low FODMAP diet is not a 1 size fits all approach and can worsen constipation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋‍♀️The low FODMAP diet works by reducing gas production in your large bowel (the bit at the end) and reducing the amount of fluid drawn into your large bowel. But, this gas and fluid may actually help you open your bowels so if you simply remove it then your constipation will likely get worse.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤓Instead, you need to use a balance of fiber, fluid and movement to allow your bowels to open regularly. THEN you can use the low FODMAP diet to reduce gas (and the flatulence and pain that comes with this).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

DID YOU GET DIAGNOSED PROPERLY? - share this post. DID YOU GET DIAGNOSED PROPERLY? - share this post.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💩Sadly, there is no 1 test for IBS diagnosis. Instead, it is diagnosed by eliminating other conditions. Conditions such as coeliac disease, IBD, infections and even bowel cancer have similar symptoms. So, your doctor will do routine 'first line' testing for these.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋‍♀️I often hear from clients that they are not sure if they have had the correct tests or not. The tests above come from UK medical guidelines called NICE (IBS 2008 Guidelines) and are considered 'gold standard' for IBS diagnosis. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👩🏽‍⚕️There are times that your doctor may wish to do additional testing if they feel that your symptom history indicates it or one of these initial tests come back positive. For example, if you have issues with your periods then your doctor may consider a gynae issue and want to do an ultrasound scan.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅BUT the main point is, you should be getting the above tests done and anything else should have a strong reasoning behind it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

💩IBS is a condition that others do not see. The things that others may see is an individual who is low in mood, perhaps often cancels last minute and seems to avoid many foods.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋‍♀️So to all those people who have a friend / colleague / partner / relative in their life who has IBS. Please know that they are not trying to be this way, it is the uncontrolled IBS that has this impact. Please know that people with IBS need your support.

💩Colonic hydrotherapy / irrigation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧐This is an alternative therapy offering whereby the therapist inserts a tube up your rectum. Warm water is then flushed through your colon. It is claimed to 'detox' or 'cleanse' your bowel. Sometimes this water contains herbs or even coffee.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤓There is no research backing up these claims at all. In fact, the research shows there is a risk of bowel perforation. There has even been cases of serious digestive infections and death.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋‍♀️There is 1 small study looking at IBS. Symptoms appear to improve.  BUT when we look at the study closer, it is small, doesn't show what would happen long term and participants had to have 2 colonics a day for 6 days a week! (you can find more information and references on this in my latest blog post www.thefoodtreatmentclinic.com).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👩🏽‍⚕️The NHS also warn against this intervention for people with several health conditions such as kidney disease, IBD and haemorrhoids.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋‍♀️My conclusion is this..please do not go down this route. If you are severely impacted then speak to your doctor.

CAN YOU RELATE?. Comment below ⬇️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋‍♀️Confession time,  I actually thought like this until I got it myself - urgh what a difference that insight makes hey!.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋‍♀️What I find is that my clients (like I did) try to down play the issue.  They don't allow themselves to feel like its ok to feel like crap because IBS 'isn't that serious.' BUT realistically it impacts every area of your life from the moment you wake up each day. SO allow yourself to feel crap about this condition.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙃THEN..take a breath. What can you do next? I would always advise seeking a dietitian out to guide you because quite frankly, this situation can not continue.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🙋‍♀️Personally I love a good winter salad with warm root vegetables and feta cheese OR a soup - both of these options will give you a good range and quantity of fiber and by using low FODMAP options you can avoid the bloat to go along with this.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👇Comment below if 1/ You have been told to avoid gluten for your IBS or 2/ You thought gluten triggers your IBS.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤷‍♀️Firstly, what is gluten? Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barely and rye.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤓Gluten only causes digestive problems for those with either coeliac disease or a gluten allergy (the later of which I have never seen in my career to date).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤯You may think gluten causes you issues BECAUSE many foods which contain gluten also contain fructans. These are a type of FODMAP which cause cause bloating, loose stools and stomach pain in those with IBS.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤯You may eat many 'gluten free' foods on the low FODMAP diet because you are avoiding wheat in order to avoid the fructans, not the gluten.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙋‍♀️So why do I care? Being gluten free is very restrictive, especially if you do not need to be. If you are intolerant to fructans you will be able to manage small amounts which means your diet will be more varied, contain more prebiotic foods and probably cheaper also!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
