    Do you have to choose between eating healthy and keeping IBS symptoms down?
    Dec 13 2024

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

    It’s important to focus on what you’re adding to your diet, not just what you’re taking away.

    Eliminating foods may provide short-term relief, but relying on this approach can sometimes cause more symptoms in the long run.

    Listen to today’s episode of The Gut Show to discover how to manage symptoms while supporting your nutrition!
