DIY or with dietician - IBS?

I don't know if a dietician would be useful for IBS.

I am a DIY type and have for many years been health food focused. When it comes to my IBS-C. I finally got relief when I discovered the Monash University food app for FODMAPs and did a lot of Googling on IBS and FODMAPs.

Try to find an appropriate dietician if you are curious and go to one appointment to see if it has value.

Also, remember, stress can play a part. There is an app called Mahana. The first segment is extensive, useful, and free. My gastro recommended it and it was put together by a doctor. Very useful.

It is a journey. Regardless, experiment in some way and keep at it until you find what works for you.

I have the Monash app and have had a free consultation with a dietician who is trained in the Monash U protocol - but it’s expensive! I’ve had a persistent flare up and fell I need a more systematic regimen to eliminate and then reintroduce because I feel as if my episodes are becoming more frequent and prolonged. I am waiting for SIBO test results - took my first test ever yesterday. So I may wait and see what the results are.
