Leyla Weighs In: Cutting Out Sugar and Starch for IBS Relief

Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses dietary strategies for managing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). She compares the traditional low FODMAP diet with a recent study advocating a low sugar and starch diet, highlighting the effectiveness of both approaches in alleviating IBS symptoms. Leyla provides detailed information on which foods to avoid and which to consume on a low FODMAP diet and stresses that while both diets can significantly improve IBS symptoms, they are not intended to be long-term solutions. The episode offers insights into how dietary changes, along with botanical supplements, can help relieve IBS-related issues such as bloating, gas, and altered bowel habits.

Give the gift of healthy chocolate!

If you have a sweet tooth like me, the holiday season can be full of temptation.
