Imagine getting a perfectly clean bill of health from your doctor — yet still battling painful bloating, urgency, and daily bathroom anxiety. That was Kimberly’s reality for years… until she finally uncovered her one true IBS food trigger.

In this episode, IBS dietitian Jessie Wong talks with Kimberly, a former client who spent over a decade navigating IBS-D symptoms — including severe diarrhea, mucus, inflammation, food fear, and even 2am bathroom trips — without real answers. Despite multiple colonoscopies, blood tests, and visits with GI doctors.

In this inspiring IBS success story, Kimberly shares how she went from food fear, late-night Google searches, and even paying for her own hotel room to hide her symptoms — to finally uncovering her unique IBS triggers and finding freedom with daily regularity, food freedom, and the confidence to travel, eat out, and enjoy life again.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✔️ Kimberly’s 10+ year IBS journey, including urgency, bloating, and inflammation

✔️ Why multiple GI doctors and clean colonoscopies didn’t provide answers

✔️ How poop photos and food tracking revealed her real trigger

✔️ The role of expert dietitian support in safe reintroduction and food freedom

✔️ Kimberly’s advice for anyone stuck on the low FODMAP diet

What does your stool say about your gut health?

In this episode of the IBS Nutrition Podcast, Jessie Wong breaks down the Bristol Stool Chart, real stool photo references, and the little-known IBS pattern known as overflow diarrhea. You'll also uncover the root cause of your symptoms and why many people are misdiagnosed with IBS-D when they’re actually constipated.

Whether you're dealing with urgency, irregularity, or just not sure what's normal, this episode will help you decode what your poop is trying to tell you—and how it could hold the key to true IBS relief.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✔️ The 7 stool types on the Bristol Stool Chart and what they mean

✔️ What different stool colors say about your gut and digestion

✔️ What overflow diarrhea really is (and how it’s often misdiagnosed)

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of food fear, daily urgency, and digestive uncertainty, this episode will give you hope. Jessie sits down with Mariela, a past IBS Freedom Program client who went from years of unpredictable diarrhoea and anxiety to having regular bowel movements, a calm mind, and full confidence in her food choices.

Together they unpack what it was like for Mariela to live with undiagnosed IBS for nearly a decade, why food elimination on her own didn’t work, and how working with a dietitian in a structured group program finally gave her clarity and symptom relief that lasted.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✔️ How Mariela managed travel anxiety and urgent bathroom needs

✔️ Why her trigger wasn’t solved with random food elimination

✔️ What the trigger identification process actually looked like

✔️ How she reintroduced dairy, garlic, onions (and got her life back)

✔️ Why group support helped her feel understood and less alone

✔️ What life looks like now: travel, food freedom, regularity
