I have ibs and does anyone else get extremely irritable when they have to go poop and have the stomach pains? Great video BTW I am so glad that I'm not alone with this. Sometimes it feels like I am.

I'm 13 years old and I've had IBS for 5 years now and it's so hard to find foods that suit my diet because I'm gluten free, dairy free, and I'm on a fodmap diet. And your hacks really helped me! It's good to know that I'm not alone.

I get extreme IBS in social situations or when I'm stressed. When I was in school, my stomach would growl so loudly and I had to go to the bathroom all the time. I lost about 25-30lbs in 2 1/2 months because I wasn't eating in the mornings, trying to avoid my stomach upsets. I would eat mints just to stay awake and keep my blood sugar from dropping. I would even faint. I dropped out 2 years ago and I finally got my first job (starting monday) and I'm worried about the same issue. Thank you for the video. I know it's really embarrassing to talk about. I hope some of these hacks help me and others facing IBS.

You relax my IBS anxiety at night.... Oddly talking about it makes me calm down during a flare up

Anyone else have flare ups when you lay down during the day (or have a powernap)?

Yep this lass has IBS you can tell by the passion in here voice IBS brethren 🙏

I never had a diet.. to be honest, I coordinated it with my nerves. I always found flareups when i was nervous, excited, or anxious. Not really from food. But I am gonna give it a try anyways. And coffee is an enemy to me, which is so saddening. Does anyone else get flareups from nerves like mine?

Does anyone eat the same food more than once, sometimes with flareups and sometimes without? That's the part that confuses me the most... Renders elimination diets useless.

I've been diagnosed with IBS recently after a year of trying to find out what was wrong. I'm on several meds, I am also GF and DF now and there's so many things I can't eat, it can make you feel like a pain so it's nice to know you're not alone and you're 'normal' :) Thank you xx

I'm really glad I found your videos because you have been such a huge help! Thank you for being awesome!

Thank you, Becky, for your encouragement and tips!!

That first app is really going to be a life saver for me! Thank you!

one of the best ibs vids, thanks so much!

Thanks so much! Hopefully I can use these hacks and they will work.

I’ve literally just ordered that oil from Tesco. Thanku for all your tips and food videos they’re super helpful😀

Ive had IBS since i was 7 and now im 18 years old. Not all the "hacks" in the video is true as everyone that suffers with ibs have diffrent flare triggers and some can be mental triggers like stress and anxiety etc. Sometimes you can just flare up without being triggered. I personally dont follow fodmap diet because off how many trigger foods i have if i was on a fodmap diet i couldnt eat anythink. One piece off advice i have is listen to your body and keep a food diary with drinks and everytime you flare go back to what you ate and drank to rule out foods and drinks also caffine and carbonated drinks can trigger IBS aswell and to eveyone out there that suffers with ibs remeber your not alone and that there will be times where you have near accidents and accidents them selves but remain strong as somepeople dont know what pain we go through everyday and how hard it is on us physically and mentally xx

My GI doctor told me everyone has some form of IBS, some peoples are just milder and it made me feel a lot better!

thank you so much I am so glad I've found your channel. will be looking through more videos... struggling at times..

this was really helpful!! thankyou

Thanks Becky for your helpful tips

thank u for the videos.ther e are not many youtube channels on IBS ,and I am glad to find one !

I also suffer from Ibs and its affecting my life a LOT. I literally can't go anywhere if there is no bathroom. Going on dates, to parties, traveling or even to my local grocery store is almost impossible now. I'm an extrovert myself. I've always enjoyed going out and having fun, but nowadays I can't even leave my house anymore. And is also really hard for me to find a job because most jobs require one to be far away from a bathroom or only having specific bathroom break times.

I'm Japanese, I have IBS for 6 years. しんどいことも多いけどこうやって発信してくれる方を参考に前向きに考えてやっていけます。ありがとうございます。

My IPS Hacks: Get a RADAR key for the 'disabled toilet'. This allows you to toilets in the UK that you would not normally use. It is great if there are queues for the toilet. Take a spare spare of waterproof trousers for emergencies or at least a waterproof jacket you can cover yourself if you have an attack. Use adult nappies, there is no shame. They can be bought online. Pop up tents can be useful in the summer, but only when you know how to put them back.

I'm so excited! I jst found ur channel ...l too suffer from IBS & it's bn completely miserable..The constipation is pure torture😖😫 I Jst downloaded the app & l believe it's going to be a game changer..Ty so much for creating this channel~ New subbie Franny Gb!

These are excellent IBS hacks, Becky, thank you for sharing.

Terrific video. Practical and clear. Thank you so much. A question about the food diary: I have done that in the past, but then I found that the amount of information in it was overwhelming and I couldn’t really sift through it and find patterns. Any tips for how to actually use the food diary after you keep it? Again, thank you for a very Helpful video.

Thank you, I'm going to try these out and see how it goes! I have extremely bad IBS, like its debilitating, exhausting, depressing and just fucking awful. I've dealt with it my whole life, some years are worse than other. I've had flair ups having lasted for months and it's awful. On top of that I'm obese and have been stuck in quarantine the last year. Life feels fucking hopeless right now to be honest. I'm really glad I found your channel today. I think itll help with my IBS and depression. Thank you darling

I'm 17 now and I've had ibs, food allergies/intolerance since I was born, I couldn't have any formulas because I was allergic to everything in them and to this day I'm allergic to everything that I like and won't eat things that I don't like even if I'm not allergic to them. My allergies that effect me most are whole foods like: Corn Wheat Soy Dairy/lactose Tomato's Potato's Eggs Onions Rice Etc... I tried going vegan to lighten the blow but everything consists of soy and rice, I basically live on peas and peanut butter which I like but it gets boring especially since I don't like drinking water. Upon consuming these whole foods I have to take prescription medicine to get them all out of my system because my number 1 IBS issue that I have when consuming things I'm allergic to is constipation which means that if I don't get the toxins out they will stay in my body until I go to the doctor but when I do take my medicine I still experience all of the symptoms from bloating and gas to becoming so dehydrated and lethargic/fatigued that I nearly faint. IBS is so underated and I wish it was more openly known in the chronic illness community. ANOTHER THING THAT SUCKS IS HAVING THE BLOATING THAT MAKES ME LOOK LIKE A PREGNANT 17 YEAR OLD GIRL!!!

DOES ANYONE has acne on their cheeks when they have IBS attacks ? A lot of red spots

Thanks a lot for your videos! Could you do one for how do you deal with travelling or one about eating in a restaurant?

great vid really HELPFUL thanks for making it CHEERS

I have IBS and am avoiding fodmaps until I can see a specialist in gluten and fodmaps dietician to do the fodmap challenge. I have discovered that asafoetida, ( hing) is a replacement for garlic and onion, it is from the spice section of your store and is not always gluten free so you need to read the ingredients before buying, also you use it very sparingly. I believe it is used a lot in Indian food recipes, I advise google it before buying and using it. Thank you Becky for your openness and willingness to discuss your IBS symptoms.

Another hack is as soon as you have finished eating, go out for a walk and it will ease your symptoms 👌👍

Infused oil and chives! Brilliant. Thank you. Peppermint tea seems to calm by bloated stomach. Monash Uni FODMAP app is FAB for keeping a food diary!

really helpful - thanks

I’m litterly in the bathroom with a ibs attack and I have a dance competition rip me

thank you so much, I'm crying, thanks for sharing this

really helpful tips to other people :)) great video!!

Good Video!

number 3 - very good!

You're really careful about what you eat ( I am not, I eat anyway and suffer), so is your ibs under control? Does it work like 100 per cent or close to it?

I was the same with the garlic oil it's not anything I would have tried before but it's amazing love it and it's a life saver

You are a godsend!!!

Thank you for these videos:) the garlic infused olive oil is such a clever idea. I'm glad you talk about the emotional side IBS. It really effects lots of aspects of life. Keep doing these vids, they're great x

I really recommend the Fast Tract Diet for IBS, which is available as an app. My IBS used to be too severe for a full time job, but now I can mostly cope as long as I stick to foods I can tolerate :)

I’m home with ibs pains right now before school 😔

I hate that my IBS literally does not have a trigger food. I can eat pizza one day and be totally fine no issues. Then I'll have pizza another day and it's world war 3. Same with dairy and meat. I've gone without both and saw no change. So basically I just have to live life as is and if I get a flare up eh whatever 🤷‍♀️

Sadly I can't use the FODMAP app because I'm in the US. I'd love to see someone come out with a version with US foods.

I've suffer IBS my whole life 😢🙁 I'll try these hacks! ☺

I'm 16 and I've had IBS for few months now. I was in hospital because of it and I'm on fodmap diet. It's really hard for me but I have to learn how to live with this. Thanks for this video❤️ (sorry if my English isn't good)

Thanks Becky 😀 I have given up coffee 2 weeks ago and I’m feeling better. I still have 2 cups of tea and a hot chocolate with almond milk every day. I will need to give these up too I think! I take coleze if I have a flare up and this helps. I also need to limit my red meat intake and yes fat is a big trigger for my IBS. low fat intake makes a big difference, low fat mayonnaise, small amounts of olive oil, no eggs. I have also limited my lactose free dairy foods because it just doesn’t agree with me. I eat mainly potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, lettuce, zucchini, capsicum, tomatoes, green part of spring onion finely chopped, lettuce, oyster mushrooms. Free range chicken, tuna in spring water, lean pork mince. I also have stopped fizzy drinks and much better 👍🏻

Thank you from a celiac, diverticulitis, microscopic colitis,SIBO, you help me to feel better

Hi first time listener 👋 What is the exact name of the Fodmap app ur referring to? There are several, some with out cost .. please let me know if you have info.. thanks

Peppermint tea really helps with cramps but if my intestines are too crampy I will take mebeverine (an anti spasmodic)However for upper tummy bloating which happens in my IBS , buscopan helps a lot

I looked up the app in the App Store but could you provide a link to the exact one it is? Love the video btw it's super helpful!

I have found that how much I chew my food makes a great deal of difference in how it affects my tummy. And also, eating cold foods, while not too bad if I chew it a lot, can affect me poorly.

Love love you you know💕

Hi I was wondering if you could link the app that you use at the supermarket because I can’t seem to find it. Thank you!

Sometimes garlic salt or powder might be less strong same with onion and even adding a little sweet relish in a garlic sauce can cut out some of the acidity Hope this helps

Great tips...I have to try that infused garlic oil, I have heard of it but I also read somewhere that it is low fodmap only when you add it cold, as in salad etc etc....supposedly when you heat it up it changes properties and makes it high fodmap...? Anyways the only thing that I can add is, I have been taking this powder magnesium every night before sleep, it is called CALM and one side effect it might have (not on everyone though but keep that in mind) is diarhea....I have an IBS C so that is not as issue for me but I think it makes me more regular on some mornings...and it also helps me relax,fall asleep and if I take it in the morning, I am much calmer...which is good thing for IBS:)

Thanks becky have you ensured that your ibs is not due to gut infection or parasite?

Yeah I’m not logging toothpaste residue I possibly may have swallowed lol. But the rest of this was super helpful.

What do you do if you have reflux esophagitis, chronic gastritis and IBS? Wondered if the app you are using is basically for where you are using vs for in the US? Would it still be worth the $9?

Hi there! I'm not find this app on the App Store. Can you please send a link to it?

Since covid my ibs has made life unbearable. Lost over a stone this month and been hospitalised twice over past 5 months because of inflmattion of the stomach so bad i couldnt stand up or bend over. Im sure that our gut flora and bacteria does play a part. I found drinking peppermint tea slighty helps with the cramps

Thank you soo much.

I've litteraly just been diagnosed with IBS this Thursday after 2 years of suffering is peppermint water actusly useful

This was very useful :) now being pregnant I'm even more worried about what i eat..i had until now 3 days i was in soooo much pain that i vomited. I realized that was someting so silly that i eaten and caused that.

You are very brave to share this video and admit that you have ibs, because I wouldn't share cause I would be scared to do so.

I’m almost 30 and I’ve lived my whole life untreated for ibs. I’m bloated and uncomfortable everyday some days it’s so severe it’s painful but I’m pretty much always bloated.

I have to ask have you ever suffered with anxiety since suffering with ibs as since it hit me ive lost my job and now suffer with going out especially when going to the shops as i feel awful daily

I have had ibs since I was a baby Becky I am wantin to know wat fodmap app that u r usin

Possible additional "hack" is going to bed early. Im getting increasigly the impression that going to bed early and getting up early may help me. Still working on that but in any case, I do think that sleep plays a role.

Oh Yes! I drink bottled water that is not "spring water." I can use some filtered water at home, but if I wait too long on changing the filter and getting any amount of tap water, which is chlorine here in the U.S., my stomach hurts so much. Water and everything is so expensive here now. I am basically going broke on water. I may need to buy a lesser water than what I buy.

learning about IBS is cool

I tried to find the app but I couldn’t find one that doesn’t scanning

I have cut out dairy and wheat plus avoiding the certain vegetables. It’s worked very well and very quickly. No more swelling or pain or flatulence.

What helped me for IBSD (Diarrhea Type), was either taking 1 immodium a day for 8 months, followed by 2 immodium pills for the next 8 mths and after that you have to switch to another Anti-Diarrheal (e.g. Dhamotil, loperamide) as your body gets used to it and it wont work.

Is it common to have constant stomach discomfort every day for months?

Can you please share the link of the app?

Hi it’s me again 😀 I also find that rice and oats are good for soothing my tummy. I have sourdough or spelt bread with no preservatives. Hope this helps

If you eat the foods that are Not agreeable? Your intestines can get damaged over time. So, it’s important to be vigilant. It’s your well being. I had tests done on my stomach and bowel, everything is good. Warm water, no ice. Wait 15 min after you eat, relax. Let your body absorb. I started having to run to the BR if I eat salad, fresh fruit, then it’s ok. Oily food is bad too. No grease. Thanks.

I just found out that i have IBS and my doctor said that i have to try the Foodmapdiet and it’s really hard but your videos are so helpful! Thank you so much. I enjoy all of your Foodmap videos

What is a really good food diary to use?

Ibgard helps really helped me I lost 4 inches around my waist and 4 inches off my lower stomach so now with my stomach not so bloated and sticking out so much I can se see my feet my waist is down to 39 inches and my lower stomach is 41 inches

I am 14 I have ibs so what should I eat that stays in stomach longer

New diagnosis here. Was just wondering how i should get through

I thank you, I would love órgano olive oil

I can’t find this App! What is that again?

Is it just FODPAM app cause it shows different once with other words connected.

My doctor diagnosed me two days ago and he said I can eat anything I want

Hi what is the application name please?

i had no idea that you had your own channel. I suffer from ibs.. too ive just found out ive got it:( i know there was something wrong for years but ive just got on with it, i used to the pain and other things that happen after i eat now, but ive been told if i carry on it can damage my body in the long run

Is it foodmaestro free app to use it??

Wish I could eat chives. Part of my IBS/Digestive issues is I also get chronic heartburn/chest burn/regurgitation. Chives are from the allium family which is a big no-no for GERD.

What is the name of the app ?

For some reason I can eat sweet onion, cooked is better... scallions seem to up set my gut.. garlic salt and onion salt work for me, yes, on the food diary... a big yes!!! eating out: pressure cooked chicken, many big chain restaurants pressure cook their chicken and coat it, then ship to local restaurant where it is fried. Not all do this so I have to be careful. Kentucky fried does this and so does Golden Coral buffet. I'm sure there are others... pressure cooking breaks down the fiber! Only fresh green I can eat is chopped raw spinach, so I make small spin salads with canned mushrooms, sweet onion, canned black olives. some times add canned carrots too! Olive oil mayo only... soy oil gets me...

I can’t find this app? Does it still exist?

I can't find this app. The only one that I find says you must be part of a research study to use it. I thought there would be a link in your description but there isn't. Please help.
