Inside Knowledge for people with IBS – Details, episodes & analysis

We naturally make enzymes as part of digestion to break down fats, carbohydrates and protein. If you’re not producing enough of certain enzymes then it could be contributing to bloating and gas build up.

In this episode of the Inside Knowledge podcast I’ll talk through

• the different types of digestive enzymes we make,
• why you might be low in them,
• options are for improving the way you break down your food.

As this podcast turns 1 years old I'm challenging my most frequently given advice for IBS!

Hear why my recommendations for diet, lifestyle and eating habits won't always work. In this episode I discuss:

• Should you fast to allow the migrating motor complex time to do it's work?
• When is it better to eat 4-5 smaller meals rather than 3 main meals a day?
• Why is it hard to listen to your gut when you have IBS?
• Should you really aim for 30 different plants a week?
• And am I really right to say don't eat with distractions like watching TV?

This episode aims to give some nuance to the things I often suggest as a first step in IBS.
