Today I’m going back to basics for people who struggle with constipation and feel like they are doing everything right. If you’re fed up of not being about to go to the toilet, this episode could get things moving again.

Here's the three step checks I walk through with my Gut Reset clients:

• Part 1 - first line checks (fibre, water, movement, eating pattern)
• Part 2 - use of laxatives and positioning on the toilet
• Part 3 - looking for further root causes -e.g. bile, methanogen overgrowth, high fat / protein diets)

This episode is hot off the press! Today I saw an update from the Monash university about the changes to the classification of FODMAP foods and I’m bringing it straight to you! As a nutritional therapist working with people who have IBS I help people with FODMAP reintroduction so I need to stay up to date with any changes, and I’m bringing them to you, lovely listeners.

This week I’ll explore WHY FODMAP ratings can change, what it means for you, and which specific foods have been reclassified.
