If you have IBS or a digestive disorder, managing symptoms might require avoiding certain foods, but...

Within the functional space of IBS, doctors visits tend to be really tense, and they tend to be filled with more negativity than positivity for patients and their experiences.One really big point of concern within the IBS community is the the relationship between GI provider and patient when dealing with digestive disorders like IBS and IBD. Getting help seems like a massive task, and accessing professional help and expert resources seems more impossible than winning the lottery.
In today’s episode, my guest Jennifer Fijor, is a nurse practitioner who works in the GI space and is passionate about breaking down barriers between patients and gut specialists.
During our conversation Jennifer shares why there might have been tense relationships in the past with certain providers, some ways that you can advocate for better care yourself and how to best prepare for appointments to get the most out of your time.
In this episode, we cover:
- Getting into gastroenterology and digestive disease as a nurse practitioner
- Why do patients have such poor experience with healthcare providers?
- The barriers of limited facetime and tight schedules
- Advocating for better care and how to talk about symptoms
- Finding alternative providers and help
- When to ask for referrals and the role diet plays
- Ensuring communication between different providers

Many doctors and experts recommend those suffering with IBS and other gut disorders to adopt a low FODMAP diet. These diets are often restrictive and lack a lot of flavour which many people find difficult to deal with. However, as more research goes into IBS there are warriors out there making diet a little more manageable. In today’s episode, I am talking to special guest Ketan Vakil, fellow IBS warrior and founder of Gourmend. After dealing with stomach issues the majority of his life, he had to amend his diet to help heal his stomach but didn’t want to sacrifice flavour! His company has developed low FODMAP alternatives with signature spices and flavours. During our conversation, Ketan shares how his cultural background and love for cooking influenced the way he approached his low FODMAP Diet. He talks about living with IBS, the connection between diet and your gut and what he hopes to see happen in the future for the low FODMAP world. In this episode, we cover: * Ketan shares his journey to being diagnosed with IBS and starting his own food company * Educating audiences on alternatives to high FODMAP foods * How the products are developed at Gourmend * Stigma and challenges around low FODMAP alternatives * High quality ingredients are more expensive * Seasonal produce * The future of Gourmend

Get started now and download the app at mahanatx.com/TheGutShow. About our guest: Gourmend was started by Ketan Vakil, who suffered from perplexing stomach issues since he was a teenager. It took years of doctor visits and testing, but he finally identified the problem: Ketan was having trouble digesting foods high in FODMAPs. What he needed was a diet that was low in these short-chain carbohydrates to put his gut problems behind him. Easier said than done. Part of a multicultural family, living in one of the best food cities in the world, Ketan was no stranger to cooking and eating rich, flavorful foods. But sticking to a low FODMAP diet meant cutting out garlic, onions, honey, legumes and other ingredients that were the base of many recipes that he loved. For a foodie, this was sad news to swallow. So Ketan set out to create his own ingredients that were low in FODMAPs but high in flavor—and reclaim the gourmet tastes he craved. By teaming up with experienced dietitians and organic farmers, he found FODMAP-friendly ingredients he could use to cook his favorite recipes again. But, as you now know, they were too delicious to keep to himself. Today Gourmend is working to bring the freshest, most flavorful cooking essentials to the table—ingredients that are gentle on the stomach without sacrificing a bit of gourmet taste.

There is a complex relationship between disordered eating, eating disorders and digestive disorders. It is important that these conversations happen in the GI space, and as health care providers we need to be cautious of how we are helping patients who are navigating care in this space, to prevent disordered eating patterns that can harm them further. In today’s episode we have special guest Beth Rosen, a non diet registered dietitian specializing in GI nutrition and disordered eating. During our conversation Beth shares how her own experience with IBS inspired her to get into the field of GI and dietetics. She talks about how ED are actually a spectrum, how restrictive eating habits can present as digestive disorders or exacerbate them further and why seeking a community who understands you is the best way to support many patients who struggle with gut issues and diet.

One aspect of IBS that isn’t often talked about is weight gain and weight loss. In general, resources and support for weight management while dealing with IBS is about as non-existent as support for IBS in mainstream healthcare. That doesn’t mean the help doesn’t exist, it’s just harder to find. However, today’s guest is an expert in helping her clients approach healthcare from a weight-neutral perspective while dealing with a digestive disorder. In today’s episode, I am talking to Shana Spence, a fellow registered dietician nutritionist based in New York. Shawna is passionate about spreading the word on food freedom, nondiet approaches, and Health at Every Size health care. During our conversation, Shana talks about how to advocate for higher quality healthcare for yourself, the issue with stigmatizing language around weight in healthcare, and what Health at Every Size Matters. In this episode, we cover: * Shana shares more about her own journey to becoming a dietician * Intersecting anti-diet work with State-regulated healthcare * Stigmatizing language around weight and its impact on community healthcare * What is Health at Every Size * How to advocate for quality healthcare * Navigating healthcare with a chronic illness

My name is Shana and I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist based in New York. I label myself as an "eat anything" dietitian. Life is already complicated, why restrict yourself? I wanted to create a platform for open discussion on nutrition and wellness topics considering all the information circulating around these days. Was I always interested in nutrition? No. In the not so long ago past I worked in the fashion industry and hated it. (Joke to myself: I got a B.S in Fashion Merchandising...get it?) I decided to make a change, go back to school and became involved in food policy and public health. Update: I love what I do and want to share as much as possible. Speaking engagements include Peloton, NEDA, Eating Recovery Center, and The Rose Retreats, NPR, FoodFluence 2022.

About our guest Lindsey Davis, RDN, LDN: Lindsey was diagnosed with IBS around 12 years old. With little guidance, she fell into the trap of only eating "safe foods" that she knew didn't trigger symptoms. She lived many years under-nourished and in fear of foods. Now, as a dietitian at Gutivate, Lindsey has learned how to manage her IBS by taking care of both her mind and body. She no longer fears food and now nourishes her body with a variety of tastes and textures every day. She is passionate about helping you find that same freedom!

Digestive diseases and disorders are increasingly becoming commonplace in the world. Things like GERD, Celiac, Crohn’s and the ever so common IBS are issues where the gastrointestinal system is dealing with inflammation or bacterial overgrowth.

She helps her client navigate restrictive eating patterns and practice more mindful eating habits.

PCOS or Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition in which the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of male sex hormones resulting in numerous small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) that form in the ovaries.

Today's episode is really unique because we're talking about how to support someone with IBS and how to not actually support someone with IBS. In the States alone 10-15% of the population suffer from IBS and twice as many women have it as men.

She talks about ways to cope emotionally with IBS and seek support, dealing with blame and unsolicited advice, and how you can actually support someone with IBS. **In this episode, we cover:** * Christine shares her IBS journey and how it impacted her mental health [0:29]

When it comes down to eating disorders and disordered eating, there's a lot of confusion around what that actually means. Oftentimes people think they know what eating disorders are, and often approach it from a black and white perspective, when in reality it’s actually a spectrum. When we can approach diet as a spectrum, we realize that we can learn to make peace with food. In today’s episode I am talking to Dylan Murphy, a registered dietician and founder of Free Method Nutrition, who specializes in disordered eating and proper nutrition. Her philosophy aims to help her clients make peace with food. Dylan knows it can be overwhelming to establish a healthy relationship with food, and is on a mission to help women’s health! During our conversation Dylan shares how she got into private practice and what fuels her passion for dietetics. She talks about labeling foods and diet as good or bad, what it looks like to make peace with food and how to change your language around food rather than fearing it. In this episode, we cover: * Dylan shares how she got into dietetics, starting her own practice and the confusion around eating disorders [1:32] * Falling down the rabbit hole of “bad foods” and focusing on a mindset shift [7:29] * What does it look like to make peace with food and addressing food fear [18:33] * Taking the morality out of food [27:34] * Changing the language around food can change your mindset [34:44] * How to ask for support and where to find it [41:32]
