1:11
podcast hey thanks so much for having me I'm excited to chat we are so excited to
1:18
have you here this is our first time getting into this topic so our listeners are going to love this we know that IBS
1:24
is very common so I think it'll be a episode that has a far reach hopefully
1:31
but before we get into the juicy IBS stuff walk us through a day of the life what you do for work Hobbies all that
1:37
fun stuff yeah so I am a local Tex I've lived and worked here for quite
1:45
a while I think something that Emily and I have in common is that I lived in Chicago for a little while so um came
1:51
back though so here in Texas I um work 100% virtually in my private
1:59
practice called wholesome start where I um help people learn how to find relief from IBS with outraged diet stress guilt
2:06
or shame I um am married have a daughter and a dog and um once this weather cools
2:14
down I'm just really excited to like go on walks and be outside again how how
2:19
hot is it there are you because Hannah and I have typically pretty similar
2:24
weather but you're in Texas yeah I actually lived in Indiana for summmer so
2:30
yes the summers are like really hot there too um in Texas and Houston
2:35
specifically it's been in like the hundreds to 109 uh for the past like
2:41
three or four months which is unusual yeah yeah like this week it
2:48
finally came down to 99 and in the mornings it's like in the 80s and I'm like oh my gosh
2:54
winter okay what are winters like though like is what's like the coldest it ever gets where you live it gets like
3:00
freezing so like 30s yeah but not until like January February like it's stays
3:08
relatively good weather from like good weather meaning 70s and lower um probably
3:16
starting November that's so wild that's so wild
3:22
as a Midwestern mind is blown yeah yeah so Texas is
3:28
warm well I hope it does cool down soon for you because yeah I was it is nice to go
3:35
outside and not sweat profusely and melt oh yeah for sure so that's been a
3:42
really big bummer for me this this year is just like not having as much outdoor time especially with like a little one
3:49
yeah this very much precious time especially when they're young and they want to run around but yeah you don't
3:55
want them to melt away keep them to keep some hydrated and cool for sure I'm
4:03
excited to chat a little bit more or how I like to say is um talk a little bit because is all about our bowel
4:12
movements and our bowel habits so for anyone here I am not shy about talking
4:20
about it right all of the symptoms so let's jump right into it then let's
4:26
start it right off we' so they know we're talking about IBS today but what
4:31
exactly is IBS I feel like there's kind of all these different interpretations of what it is but would you define it as
4:40
IBS stands for irritable bowel syndrome it affects about 10 to 15% of adults in
4:46
the United States it's known as a functional GI disorder or a disorder of
4:52
gut brain interaction the predominant characteristics are abdominal pain along
4:58
with a range of symptoms that affect your bowel habits and frequency right so you can have IBS with
5:06
constipation you can have IBS with diarrhea or you could get Super Lucky and you can get diarrhea and
5:11
constipation and that's called IBS mixed so um yeah IBS is really fun it really
5:20
impacts your um quality of life as well because a lot of my clients struggle
5:26
with not wanting to leave their home being uncomfortable ordering it right restaurants not knowing what to eat and
5:33
um yeah it it can be really really rough yeah and as we'll get in today to
5:41
kind of I guess give a little bit of a spoiler diet culture too can play a big role in this as well so like not only is
5:47
it already confusing enough because it's seemingly sometimes like a very
5:53
random thing where you're not even sure like how foods are going to affect you and patients always tell me like one day
5:59
they can have eggs the next day they can't it just totally depends but we also have that diet culture component
6:04
too where that can make it worse which I guess is a perfect segue like you
6:10
mentioned you know weight inclusivity and food freedom and all of that how how do you see with your clients that diet
6:17
culture does make IBS worse how does it trigger those symptoms oh my goodness in
6:22
so many ways I mean you just look at Tik Tok or any social media and what do you see it's all about restrict friction
6:30
eliminating things eliminating gluten never touching Dairy um and really IBS
6:37
is a multifactorial condition meaning that it is impacted by multiple
6:42
lifestyle factors including what you eat and so diet culture can play a role in
6:48
possibly you skipping meals and that making your symptoms worse because what happens when we skip meals right the
6:54
only logical thing for our bodies to do when we skip meals or go long per periods of time without eating is to
7:01
then when you have an opportunity to eat eat in large quantities very quickly and
7:06
simply eating in large quantities in a short period of time very quickly without chewing enough can lead to these
7:12
symptoms that you are already struggling with so absolutely ditching diet culture
7:17
finding food Freedom working towards healing your relationship with food in itself can can help so much with finding
7:25
relief from your GI symptoms and that's my first line approach with my clients is making sure that they're not getting
7:31
um confused with what diet culture and wellness influencers are putting out
7:36
there around what supports good gut health and coming back to the basics of having enough food regularly throughout
7:44
the day and eating a variety of things that they enjoy Hannah and I talk about Wellness culture all the time but I feel
7:50
like just the world of gut health is crazy especially online the things I've
7:59
seen on there are I feel like you can find any argument and it'll somehow cure
8:05
your your gut oh absolutely and like now all of these influencers like um
8:10
promoting different supplements like whether green powders or like just list
8:17
of like magic cure all gut health supplements or tonics um and my clients
8:24
come in with lists of supplements right thinking I mean
8:29
yeah that this is really going to help them but in fact it may be contributing to their symptoms especially if these
8:36
products like the greens um powders or even if you're having like a Fiber One
8:41
bar right these things are fortified with some fibers that may not be tolerated for those who have IBS that's
8:49
I'm really glad you brought up the greens powders because I feel like that is one of the biggest ones that will
8:56
like Sure Fire be there if they're talking about gut health they're taking their greens every morning why what
9:04
about the greens powders for like for our audience like what about that potentially you talked about kind of the
9:10
fiber component but how can that potentially cause more harm with someone with IBS absolutely so like I said
9:18
earlier for those with IBS who may also struggle with a relationship with food
9:23
oftentimes I see people because of diet culture and just their you know um
9:29
history with possibly disordered eating or eating disorders um for them the goal
9:34
is to eat as little as possible and what these greens powders do is offer your body offer yourself an
9:41
ability to meet certain needs whether it be micronutrient or Fiber needs without
9:46
having to consume foods but the thing about the supplement industry is that they're are not very tightly regulated
9:52
they're not doing third-party testing unless the company itself is paying for it to be tested for e efficacy and
10:00
quality and um actually have the ingredients in the product that they claim it does so I'm very weary to
10:07
recommend supplements whether it be a greens powder or anything like that um because we just don't know how it's
10:14
going to impact your GI system um another thing is that many of these
10:20
greens powders the fiber enriched or fortified sodas and these Fiber One bars
10:26
have Ulin or chory root as their source of fiber right and these are high FODMAP
10:32
gas producing fiber sources which are very healthy right for people who don't
10:37
have IBS and aren't sensitive to fod maps go for it enjoy it if you like it you like it no big deal but for people
10:44
with IBS if you are trying to of course increase your fiber needs um but don't
10:49
know what types of fiber may be most beneficial for you it can can really set you back or send you into an IBS flare
10:56
that is miserable I'm glad glad you brought up the the sodas because those are also as
11:02
we all know very popular right now and wellness culture and even us dieticians
11:08
will say like fiber is really great like a lot of us don't get enough fiber we need more of it and that can be a fine way to get it in in my opinion but like
11:15
you said it's all about the type of fiber with IBS and the sources and quantities and all of that so I'm so
11:22
glad you brought that up because I don't think that more fiber is always going to
11:27
be better especially if you have IBS that you're dealing with yeah yeah it's so important to know
11:34
what type of fiber is going to suit your symptoms with IBS and dietary management
11:39
you're really trying to figure out how your symptoms present and then how to manage those specific symptoms right so
11:45
if we're talking about fiber if you struggle with IBS diarrhea predominantly you're going to want to focus more on
11:51
like the soluble fiber to help bring that poop together and have it pass easily and then if you're constipated
11:56
you want a combination of course you always want a combination of soluble and insoluble fiber but the insoluble fiber will help to bulk that stool up and kind
12:03
of stimulate the colon and help you go so yeah and then on top of that with
12:09
fiber we talk about fodmaps right which are fermentable carbohydrates that draw in liquid into the um GI system and then
12:18
that causes some distension and abdominal pain and then the fermentation
12:23
that goes on with those ferment F fermentable carbohydrates causes that excess gas and blood an additional
12:29
stomach pain and possibly the diarrhea and constipation so there's a lot to it and that's why dietitians exist to help
12:36
you figure out what to do in the in the world of nutrition without getting
12:42
sucked into diet culture yes I am really glad you actually brought up the different types
12:48
of fibers would you be able to quickly provide some examples of just insoluble
12:53
versus soluble in case people don't know or didn't know there were different types of fibers and what they could look
13:00
for soluble fiber includes sources like oats peas beans apples carrots um cium
13:09
husk fiber citrus fruits and then um sources of insoluble fiber you can think
13:15
of like whole wheat flour whole grains wheat brand nuts beans cauliflower
13:21
potatoes and so they both serve as great sources of fiber with different prop
13:27
properties in the GI system um and depending on what type of symptoms you experience um some fibers
13:34
will be better tolerated than others that's so helpful thank you for sharing that and I like how you mentioned like
13:39
how both are still important and especially for those who aren't struggling with anything GI related I
13:45
always say just like generally try to eat a wide variety of foods if fiber is an issue for you incorporate you know
13:52
more high fiber foods in general and you likely will get a decent combination of both soluble and and soluble and
14:00
insoluble absolutely for sure well speaking of Wellness culture
14:06
again we really really want to talk to you about food sensitivity test because
14:12
those are such a huge thing as well with Wellness culture people I know Emily has
14:17
some experience maybe you should share on this Emily before I go into a whole Spiel I'd love to hear they're very
14:23
popular and I I definitely want to get more into it but Emily do you want to kind of share your experience with them first yeah I'm very excited to talk
14:30
about this because I have a lot of past background with food sensitivity test
14:36
and we've been waiting to talk to someone about this because person my personal experience
14:44
with my limal time limited time with it but I can't even imagine how much you to work with it or talk about it it was
14:50
just such a big part of Wellness culture it was it's still really popular
14:57
and we just need talk about like the validity of it and what goes on with it so what are
15:05
your thoughts on food sensitivity tests what are your thoughts on kind of the Elimination Diet versus like or versus
15:13
at home test but we can start off with there's multiple questions in that we'll
15:19
just start off with the food sensitivity tests first and forem what are your thoughts yeah so um my thoughts are that
15:28
just like I've seen a lot of people come into my practice saying okay this is the
15:33
list of foods I can no longer eat because I've taken a IGG antibody food sensitivity test and then I talk to them
15:40
about it you know and try to explain to them the validity of these tests um IGG
15:45
food sensitivity panels are not reliable ways to determine whether or not you are truly sensitive to a specific food right
15:52
the IGG antibody response is actually indicative of Foods you commonly consume
16:00
not foods that you are sensitive to so for example me seina taking a food sensitivity test I regularly eat eggs
16:09
wheat Dairy corn all of the foods I literally eat everything and um if
16:16
regularly I'm having eggs dairy and wheat more most likely I will be
16:22
sensitive on that test to eggs dairy and wheat simply because of the way the test is designed to show which foods you
16:30
commonly consume and so it is a great way for companies to profit off of people's insecurities for people to um
16:38
then create this fancy diet where you're only allowed to eat three foods that you're not sensitive to and um sell you
16:45
meal plans based off of this and really profit off of you um there's no validity
16:51
to them the best way to determine a food sensitivity is by partnering with a
16:56
dietitian who can help you navigate your symptoms with a food and symptom Journal
17:01
right and help you develop a strategic Elimination Diet where okay
17:07
you say that you're sensitive to Dairy right let's just take that easy one they
17:12
eliminate it from your diet for maybe one week and then the next week we
17:17
reintroduce high high lactose containing Dairy Foods right ice cream milk cottage
17:24
cheese for 3 days and then see how your symptoms are for the rest of that week
17:31
so three days on and three days off of that food um if you have severe symptoms like
17:38
excessive um diarrhea just extreme gas stomach pain bloating okay you probably
17:44
have a sensitivity can we work on including Dairy still in your diet and not completely eliminating it but adding
17:50
lower lactose foods like the harder cheeses some lactose free milk lactose-free yogurt Etc right and do you
17:59
still have symptoms with those if not awesome we've determined that you have
18:04
possibly a lactose intolerance and um without doing the breath test but on a
18:10
food and symptom Journal way of discovering this and we are still going to introduce lower lactose theery to
18:16
your diet so yeah the elimination style diet and that reintroduction may not be
18:22
recommended for all people since it can be overly restrictive in some ways and not be a good fit for those who struggle
18:28
with disordered eating and eating disorders um but yeah you definitely want to talk with a registered dietician
18:34
who focuses on um helping people expand their diet while identifying their
18:40
digestive distress that's just such a more hopefully freeing approach for the
18:47
patient or client too because it doesn't involve cutting out all these things willy-nilly like the food sensitivity
18:52
test will kind of tell you like again based on whatever you ate which if you eat a wide variety of foods it's going
18:57
to really really suck when you see the results say that you have to cut out 15 20 different things so hopefully this is
19:06
really getting through to those who maybe are stuck in that spot that feel
19:11
just like frustrated they're like I've had to like cut all these Foods out hopefully now they know that maybe they don't actually have to do that it can be
19:17
a harder process maybe to go through and like test and eliminate and rinse and repeat kind of thing but hopefully the
19:24
end goal the end accomplishment is a lot more a lot more food freedom
19:29
absolutely I think one thing that really frustrates me is that it's so sexy and like cool to say like oh I'm gluten-free
19:37
I'm dairy free I'm this I'm that but like for people who are just like oh yeah' I'll take I'll take the pizza like
19:44
that's fine just like what you eat do you just eat like that's not cool exactly to
19:53
people in diet culture right so like including all foods
19:58
is cool and it is good and it is sexy yeah so let's let's get more of
20:05
that um Emily we can either cut this or add it based on what you wanted to what you feel like but did your
20:14
place did they like sell like meal plans and stuff based off of the elimination or the the sensitivity test results so I
20:22
wouldn't say they sold them they were definitely part of it was a huge part of it though where like would push food
20:29
sensitivity tests and it would come up with this huge list like this
20:36
ridiculously long list of these are all the foods now you have to avoid and what they would have us do was create meal
20:43
plans for them um there were like programs they got where they is this
20:50
sharing company Secrets this is not this is very generic I don't I think I'll be okay but they would like got specific
20:58
program for this just because it's so you're like what are they supposed to eat and you would put in all the foods
21:05
on their food sensitivity results and then it would spew out this meal
21:10
plan that was like these this is what you can eat I literally had a
21:18
client that had multiple tests done somehow over like there was like
21:24
something food sensitivity related but then there was something I think it was like candida related just
21:32
like a whole another gut thing and then something else and the list was so long
21:39
that I literally had to make my own Word document of all the foods they could eat and then a list of anything left I could
21:45
literally think of because it was so long and I was like this is this is obscure I think one of the
21:53
the personal worst experiences that I know is happening out there
21:59
is I worked with a child who had this done and their list came back with all
22:07
these foods that they eat normally and like I was working with the parents and
22:12
they're like the parents were visibly upset because they're like these are what the kids eat and in the back of my head I'm like yes obviously I I'm like
22:21
please eat these things like this test is not I was like trying to say it in
22:26
that like weird professional way where it's like you can't just outright say like oh yeah my employer is bogus this
22:34
is not ethical um but like it's okay if you eat these foods and they were like I hope
22:41
they're okay but like it was just I could not imagine a child having to like deal with
22:50
10 15 plus food sensitivities in quotes and the stress of that when
22:57
they're growing and trying to learn what foods they like and just learn about
23:02
food in general and they're being told they can't eat these things for whatever reason I don't even know what it was yes
23:09
one of my friends is an allergist like a physician um and she works at Texas
23:15
Children's Hospital and she runs into children being handed these sensitivity
23:20
tests daily and she's like banging her head against the wall because she's like
23:25
why are they taking these invalidated tests that just spit out bogus
23:30
information um and like yeah even she said for people who get the like skin
23:37
scratch tests and different like validated allergy testing from an allergist physician um they need to be
23:45
interpreted with like their clinical judgment it isn't black and white it
23:52
isn't very accurate so if you say that you exper they're looking at your clinical like clinical symp Syms and
23:59
what the test says and trying to figure out you know what's going on and where you could trial this Elimination Diet
24:05
and reintroduction to see how you truly feel so yeah it's hard so hard and best case
24:13
scenario refer to a dietitian who has experience and knowledge about helping you navigate like your actual food
24:20
intolerances or allergies absolutely and for those of you with IBS who um experien food
24:28
sensitivities number one first and foremost I believe you right like we're not here to tell you in like what's it
24:35
called Gaslight people and be like no your symptoms are not real we just want you to possibly take a um like open your
24:43
mind to the possibility that you aren't as reactive as maybe you have experienced
24:50
in the past a lot of IBS symptoms can be triggered by stress response and so
24:56
that's where overcoming food fears can really help you in expanding your diet and understanding what you're truly like
25:03
sensitive to I'm so glad you brought that up that's so important like even
25:09
though we are saying that these certain tests they're not valid not to be really
25:15
trusted if you feel like all those foods that listed off you actually don't tolerate we totally hear you we want to
25:23
help you better understand but again the goal is food freedom you hopefully can
25:30
realize that a lot of those foods that maybe you do feel now are causing symptoms maybe actually aren't causing
25:36
as many as you think they are well I think that's a good segue into our final piece of the day which is we've talked
25:43
about things that don't work things that aren't recommended reasons why diet culture and wellness culture are just
25:48
the worst ever which are listeners that are not new around here like yeah we get it but we always have to pick put a new
25:55
spin on it um but what are some some like non diety non rooted in diet
26:01
culture ways that our listeners can manage their abbs if they are struggling with that yeah so like I said earlier
26:08
making sure that you are working with either a therapist or a dietitian who can help you on your journey to Healing
26:14
your relationship with food first and foremost it's going to be very helpful um practicing then gental
26:21
nutrition alongside a dietitian to really help you meet your nutritional needs your fiber needs to support your
26:28
digestive symptoms and um find relief And Then There are a variety of non-diet
26:34
approaches to help you manage IBS right um a GI psychologist can be very helpful
26:39
and in um you can do CBT act there's also something called gut directed
26:46
hypnotherapy which has been studied and research to be as effective as the lowfodmap diet and managing IBS so for
26:54
people with this like visceral hypers sensitivity in IBS everything kind of causes their symptoms this can really
27:01
help set the stage of transitioning from always being in that fighter flight phase of your nervous system to the rest
27:07
and digest phase and that way as you incorporate some of these practices with gut directed hypnotherapy calm your
27:14
nervous system you're entering meal time then with a lowered state of stress
27:19
which will then help you reduce your symptoms um diaphragmatic breathing has
27:25
been shown to also reduce me time stress um which is awesome it can be done
27:32
anywhere it is simply a deep breathing practice um that you can look up I think
27:38
there are a bunch of videos on YouTube that you can check out um making sure that you're also looking at your
27:44
relationship with exercise we know that high-intensity type of exercises can contribute to accelerated GI um
27:52
movements right so if you are running a marathon and you're like oh my gosh I have to diarrhea which often happens
27:57
happens the runner's diarrhea um it's a thing so looking into how exercise
28:04
impacts your GIS system focusing on more gentle forms of movement that you enjoy
28:09
swimming walking yoga Pure Bar whatever um staying adequately hydrated
28:15
and even meeting with a pelvic floor physical therapist if you are someone who has pain with sex has struggled with
28:22
um constipation all their life um has had babies and you just feel like since
28:29
then things have not been normal a pelvic floor physical therapist can do wonders in helping you relax those
28:37
muscles to have a nice smooth bowel movement yeah and um there's there's a
28:44
bunch more things um one thing that I didn't talk about was the FODMAP diet in
28:51
detail and the FODMAP diet is a elimination style diet where you
28:56
eliminate these highly fermentable carbohydrates from your diet and then strategically reintroduce them to
29:02
identify your food triggers and ultimately liberalize your diet as much as you tolerate um however it's not
29:08
appropriate for everyone so if you do struggle with the eating disorder history of it or disordered eating or
29:15
any other co-occurring mental health condition it may not be appropriate for you and that's okay there's still a variety of things for you to focus on
29:22
you can even work with a dietitian who specializes in the FODMAP gentle approach which is
29:29
really less restrictive it's look taking an assessment of your diet and seeing if
29:34
you even eat any High FODMAP foods and offering some swaps that are lower in FODMAP just like for example if you are
29:41
constantly drinking gallons of milk and I recommend a lactose-free milk or a plant alternative that might provide you
29:48
with some symptom relief and you not have to do the full-fledge VOD map elimination style diet so yeah lots of
29:56
options yeah I there's so many good nuggets of
30:01
information there that you can start off with and it can hopefully the options are not
30:08
overwhelming but hopefully there was one that maybe you drew your interest or you
30:14
just wanted to learn a little bit more about you can definitely look into it more and I'm sure also you have
30:20
resources on your page as well which we will plug that later so they'll definitely have to check that out but
30:26
they can find out more there so I think that's all things I
30:33
could think of with with this topic I feel like we did or S you did most of
30:39
the work we we were present for the the great time um like we covered IBS what
30:47
exactly it was how die culture contributes gave some great ideas on how to kind of manage it in a non diety way
30:56
um do do you have any last thoughts you would like to leave our audience with
31:02
though things we missed or anything that you'd like them to take away from this
31:08
the most sometimes with IBS it's not what you're eating
31:14
specifically but possibly how you're eating so before you jump into changing
31:20
everything every single food that you are eating look at the speed at which you eat are you always eating in between
31:27
like meetings rushing um do you take do you skip meals are you at a point where
31:34
you can even ACCESS food regularly throughout the day that is something that you need to prioritize first and
31:41
foremost before even dissecting your diet to figure out what to eliminate so yeah and that can come with
31:50
you know focusing on that gentle nutrition approach it's so true I feel like partly
31:56
because of diet culture if not fully because of diet culture we often do tend to jump to like what do we have to cut
32:02
out what foods do we need to eliminate when there are so many other parts of the eating experience besides just the
32:08
actual like food type that can impact so many things even Beyond IBS and again
32:14
that's where we come in dietitians not to our own horns but I love that idea to
32:19
like challenge our listeners who are struggling with this to like think about those other pieces too and you mentioned
32:26
like Stress and Anxiety how that can also present itself in like cause diarrhea and or constipation sometimes
32:32
too like there is there is so much more to it than just our food choices so I love that advice of digging a little bit
32:38
deeper than that well before we get into our bonus question of the day let our listeners know where they can find you
32:43
