Insanity Restrictive Diets - Do They Work for IBS?
Here’s the thing …   Low FODMAP, Paleo, Auto-immune Paleo, Elemental Diet, Keto, Vegan, Vegetarian, etc … Elimination to the point of insanity is NOT the answer.   All that happens is you restrict to the point that you feel worse than you ever have before. It's like playing wack-a-mole.   Eliminating trigger foods is really the self-proclaimed “silver bullet" for IBS and IBD. What happens is that you're committing yourself to a wild goose chase. We know now that it's not "food related." The only outcome to this is your list of food intolerances and ‘trigger foods’ will grow to more and more foods.   Here’s the truth about elimination diets:   Monash University, the creators of Low FODMAP, have stated “The truth is the low FODMAP diet is designed to be followed strictly for an initial 2-6 weeks until symptoms resolve. At that stage, gentle reintroductions are encouraged by your dietitian to learn your level of tolerance.”   Individuals throw away years of their life trying to pin-point the exact "trigger foods". It not only exhausting and unsustainable - but it doesn’t work long-term.   Remember: following restrictive diets WILL NOT WORK long-term and are only a bandaid approach as they do not address the root causes of what is CREATING the IBS symptoms.   To learn more, check out this episode!

Carson’s Success Story
When Carson came to us in November 2022, he had been suffering for 2-3 years with debilitating gut problems ranging Irregular Bowel Movements, Inflammation, Constant Discomfort & Fatigue, Bloating. Before coming to us, he had worked with a naturopath and changed his diet which brought his blood work back to normal and ”healthy” but 
he knew his gut microbiome was out of wack. He had been taking really expensive probiotics, digestive enzymes and vitamins for over a year now with no real affect. So he came to work with us back in November 2022. With lab testing and addressing root causes, he got his health and life back!
