What happens when food fear and diarrhea take over your life—even after trying the low FODMAP diet?

In this episode, Jessie Wong chats with former client Kathy about her journey with post-infectious IBS, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). You’ll hear how Kathy went from daily diarrhea and food anxiety to 90–95% symptom-free—thanks to personalized guidance, SIBO treatment, and uncovering true food intolerances. This episode is packed with real talk on delayed reactions, grief around food, and the trial-and-error process that leads to healing.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✔ How post-infectious IBS and food poisoning triggered Kathy’s symptoms
✔ What non-celiac gluten sensitivity actually looks like in real life
✔ Why food tracking, SIBO testing, and reintroduction phases matter
✔ How to navigate delayed symptoms and build confidence around food again
