⚠️ One of the FIRST steps before embarking on a low FODMAP diet for IBS, is to make sure you've reduced these key gut irritants:

☕️ Caffeine
🌶 Spicy food
🍕 High fat foods
🥂 Alcohol

🔥 For people with IBS, the nerves lining the gut are highly sensitive, so eating these types of foods regularly can lead to worsening of bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and/or constipation and reflux.

Soy beans are high FODMAP and can be the cause for some pretty painful and uncomfortable gut symptoms, especially if you have IBS. 🙅‍♀️

If you drink soy milk, try making this quick and easy swap to soy milk made on soy protein!
It's a common and easy mistake to make, but the solution is simple and easy! 👏

Oats have some amazing gut loving benefits! Not only are they affordable but they are easy to add to so many different recipes AND they are FODMAP friendly! 👏😋

✅️ Natural prebiotic to help feed the beneficial bacteria that lives inside your gut - these contribute to a whole range of benefits!

✅️ Reduce appetite and curb hunger cravings

✅️ Plant based protein to keep you feeling fuller for longer

✅️ Excellent source of fibre that helps attract water back into the stool - this helps soften and loosen hard stools. Also adds bulk to firm up loose stools.
