You may already be familiar with something called the low FODMAP diet, which I’ve talked about in previous episodes. Although the low FODMAP diet can be very effective in relieving symptoms of IBS, it’s not necessarily appropriate or doable by everyone.  

Beth Rosen joins me to talk about some alternatives to the FODMAP approach for managing IBS. 

Beth is a registered dietitian specializing in GI nutrition and disordered eating. She has designed techniques and programs to help chronic dieters, disordered eaters, and those in eating disorder recovery to mend their relationship with food and their bodies. 

In this interview:

• Why we seem to lose the ability to digest or tolerate certain foods as we get older.
• The surprising relationship between eating disorders and IBS and disordered eating.
• What are FODMAPs and where are they found?
• The challenges of trying to do a low-FODMAP diet on your own.
• Who might not be a good candidate for a low-FODMAP approach.
• Modified dietary approaches (“FODMAP-lite”).
• Non-dietary interventions such as CBT for IBS.
• The role that digestive enzyme supplements can play in managing IBS.
