Have you seen my second “What I Eat in a Day with IBS” video? I address honey and bananas here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNaiadCau9bLk2Q.html

I have ibs (both types) and honestly been ignoring diets. Tonight as I sit on the toilet, I believe it’s time to actually care about myself now😂

Hey fellow ibs sufferers. I'm here to say I'm accepting that I have ibs. There, I said it. I have ibs. (In addition to acid reflux...) Anyway, it's really time i listen to my body. I'm 33, I've noticed since I was a child I had terrible gas, indigestion, etc. My parents didn't care much because they didn't know. So over the years, especially in my 30s, my body has been LESS tolerant to my "trigger" .. happy foods, yummy foods.. and I've decided to just listen to it. So I'm on keto now and its actually really helpful. Really helpful. My most annoying ibs symptom (my worst) is the gas. It's. Notorious. When I'm doing low fodmap and keto, the gas/bloating/annoyance is GONE. I hate it, because you have to drop so many delicious foods but it's not worth it any more. It's not worth it. I'm tired of feeling like crap. So hello everyone my name is Bernadette and I am a PROUD ibs sufferer

I enjoyed this video so much. Your humor and positive outlook on IBS made me smile through the whole video. I have been struggling with my IBS symptoms pretty severely over the past year. I actually had a pretty bad flare up this morning and decided to check KZfaq for someone advice out of stress and frustration. Found this video and it really helped turn a rough day around, so thank you.

Hi Leanne, I was so stressed and sad about my whole IBS situation, I was diagnosed with IBS a few months before and I was not willing to follow the diet and restrictions. Your Positive outlook and candor in this video made me realise how fun and feasible it is to cope up with the symptoms. Thank you for sharing your experience and making this interesting!!!!!

This was pretty awesome. Can’t wait for the update with the garden! This was nice having someone that can relate.

You are actually the biggest breath of fresh air, so happy I found your channel 🥰

your positive energy is so contagious, thank u for making this!!!

I am month suffering from IBS and trying low fodmap. Guess more than anything, dealing with it emotionally is harder for me. I am wondering how can I have my normal life back, eating my fave food, travels, work, if I am always worried about my gut aching anytime. So happy to watch your video. Such a positive and sunshiny vibe 🌞

I loved this video!! Thank you for your authenticity and vulnerability!! You are a creating a culture where people feel like they belong and that’s beautiful! Just got diagnosed with IBS and just related so much to you! I was laughing so hard but yet felt so seen! Your a gift! Keep on going!

I know this is an older video, but it truly was very helpful to me. I had to have my gall bladder removed last year and since then I have had no end of stomach and digestive issues. My dietician has just put me on a 4 week FOD eating plan and your video was very informative! I am feeling a bit better about my food choices, and having some menu ideas to start me off is wonderful! I am learning as I go and will probably make mistakes that my tummy will let me know about, but this down to earth video of you telling what is working for you was so nice. Thank you!

I’m so happy I found your channel! I’ve been suffering from Ibs for 6 years and having a hard time to control my pain!

What a wonderful energy. I loved your care-free nature. Initially with ibs I used to more stressed and worried about my health. But slowly I am learning to be calm and stress-free. Thank you for this video. ❤

As embarrassed as you are to talk about it, we are all in the same boat. This is probably the best personalized video of what to eat and what other people go through. I am a "C". I do fine for a while and then suddenly stop up and I can't figure out what did it. Thanks for making the video. I'll watch the others right after this.

Hi thank you for welcoming us in your Home was so good to listern to someone going through the same condition..Love it .. from Cape Town.. why do i have this stress feeling in my gut whole day..

I wound up with a very nasty gut bug that I have NO idea where it came from. I wound up with a very nasty diarrhea that was on it's way to IBS. I tried all sorts of stuff to no avail. I even tried fasting. Got real serious when the stomach pain & uncontrollable bloating kicked in. I have a love/hate relationship with doctors because some 'play' with your conditions, systemmatically robbing you with useless appointments/prescriptions. This is why I've been a self-healer for the last 15+ years. I knew my condition included an overgrowth of bad bacteria in my gut(bloating), & I probably had some form of inflammation in my intestines. So-I figured that I had to follow a diet that would help me do two things: 1. Kill the bad bacteria in my gut so the good bacteria could flourish. 2. Eat a diet that wouldn't stress my digestive track out(through trying to break down food), so that my inflammation could heal. What I came up with was a sort of intermittent fasting with a once a day soup. The soup was homemade & consisted of small chunks of chicken, lots of carrots, celery & mixed veggies. The chicken would give me a little protein & the veggies would help grow the proper bacteria in my gut. The KEY to this soup is that it was boiled until EVERYTHING in it was pretty overcooked. THIS took stress off of digestive tract because food was pretty much already broken down. Now, as I made bathroom trips during the day I would consume Pedialite to replace electrolytes lost during bathroom runs. Followed this & after 6 weeks of my IBS it only took this soup 4 days to cure me. Hope this helps anyone out there suffering with IBS. GOD BLESS...❤❤❤

just been told by my doctor to start a low FODMAP diet and just found your video. You have the sweetest vibe about you! Will defo be subscribing xxx

Thank you. I was just diagnosed with ibs and this has been the most helpful so ar.

Thank you for sharing this video. It was very helpful and your personality shines through. I appreciate you sharing that there are times when you eat certain things & just understand the consequences of that. That's realistic.

Love this video. I suffer from this awful disease and have for decades. Your video helped me decide to try the Low FODMAP Diet. Hoping for a pain-free future :-) Thank you for sharing your journey, your videos are a pleasure to watch.

Thank you it was so good to see what you had, and you made me smile throughout the video. I've only just gone onto the fodmap diet and I'm struggling a bit. So it's great to find your channel

Thank you so much for posting this video it really helpef a lot and put me at ease knowing I'm not the only one feeling this way while having IBS. I really related to you a lot.🌼

Thank you for this, it was very informative and, somehow, given the topic, also entertaining! :D Keep it up!

I am so happy I found this video you made me feel calm and your funny it’s like you made it ok to have IBS-C and no one really knows what we go through I should have a friend like you it would be awesome

Thanks for the video. From a sixty year old women who has suffered all my life with undiagnosed IBS the info was great.

Hi! So nice to see someone else who's in the same situation! I've been looking for a channel like yours for ages :)

You are just awesome. This was fun to watch and very informative 👍🏽

I was looking for a diet on how I can eat my little meals a day since last year I am having an IBS but when I came through your video I can feel the way you experienced it and the way IBS people go through , we cannot eat anything and everything .Thanks for sharing your experience

You touched on a lot of digestive problems that I am also dealing with, and you do it with a smile throughout! 😊 Thank you so much for this honest and informative video. ❤

Wonderful video. You helped me start a mini meal plan. And the part where you put the math problem gif was so funny. 😄

I love your quirky personality! Thanks for sharing.

Loved the content, just wanted to share something I learn recently about buying organic, the pesticides and chemicals on regular food, does disrupts put guts, so buying organic or grass fed does helps a lot…wishing you the best!

This is the most relatable video I have EVER watched 🙈😅🌟✨🌟✨

Since i been diagnosed with a mild form of ibs .. i decided to just youtube : what i eat in a day for ibs . Did not know you at all but it was the first video i saw . You have such a lovely personality! Something very real and kind about you ^^ . Very different from most influencers lataly

I’ve been on an elimination diet for a few weeks now. I cannot wait to start adding foods back in. Thanks for sharing your experience:)

I’m so glad I came across your channel. I can now try to figure out some of the foods to eat. I have a lot of anxiety because of everything I go through. It’s hard for me to even travel anywhere because I’m always thinking about bathroom stops.

Really enjoyed this video!

thoroughly enjoyed this video 😂 thank you

love your energy and smile

Oh my gosh you are so cute! I found your video here so helpful! I was recently put on the Fodmap diet for possible IBS and you mentioned a lot of great information. 👍 just subscribed 🥰

Thank you. This video is amazing!

Thanks for sharing-- great details--!

I stopped to eat almonds too! Good video, thanks!

I was diagnosed with IBS. Thanks for the video. And ideas on what to eat I am having a hard time finding what to eat.

Good work, you are very helpful. Just trying to figure my issues out. Appointments with specialists can take weeks or months, while in the meantime we are sick and losing weight. There is a lot of useful information on the internet, and so why not get started? Day three and i am feeling a bit better already, i sense i am on the right track. I had to laugh, the doctor ordered stool tests. My friend phoned, asking what i was doing today…”oh, just off to town with a purse full of poop.” She has IBS too, so we had a good laugh. IBS makes you humble. It helps that people like you talk about it. Thank you so much.

thank you so much for this video!!! my ibs has been flaring up a lot recently, so its comforting to know someone else deals with similar issues and your advice was so helpful

Thank you for sharing your story, I know it's not easy. I was just diagnosed with IBS last year by my gastroenterologist, so I am still learning how to deal with it. Those painful episodes are not fun, I agree! Doing some research about IBS, I came across witj another topic that might be the cause of IBS (Not sure yet), which is called SIBO-IMO. Have you been tested for it? I will bring it up to my gastroenterologist on my next appointment. Thank you again for your video, you gave a great idea for a shrimp past which I love!

Thank you, this was very helpful and the comedy was so cute😂

Thank you so much this really helps. I went to my Doctor and got diagnosed today with this.

I recently finally seen a doctor for my stomach, I didn’t go for the longest time because of my anxiety. I was stressed and it makes sense. I got tests done, and I’m being sent a gastroenterologist which I’m so happy about so I can finally get answers. This is all new to me my doctor told me to do my research in the meantime. So helpful!

thank you so much for existing, ive been dealing with stomach issues for almost a year now and finally got referred to a gastroenterologist after having my (not so great) primary care doctor just look at me and go “it’s probably ibs” after multiple visits complaining about my problems. ive been really struggling to figure out how to fit low fodmap meals into my lifestyle and this video is so helpful.

My sister who is 73 took antibiotics that messed up her stomach. She is having horrible spasms bloating and the whole gambit. I found your channel and I'm happy that I did. Thanks for all the help and laughs. God Bless You ❤🙏

I've start eating the FODMAP way and so far it's been helpful. Elemination diets I've done in the past so i have an idea of some things but i was kind of confused because it didn't always help me figure all of it out. I do have a degree in nutrition and people don't realize how hard it can be even at that level of knowledge to sort it all out! FODMAP doesn't come across the mind of a lot of people when they are trying to figure out their eating plans. Both of my parents have issues with digesting the specific things that FODMAP addresses. Before I got my degree in nutrition i had 40yrs of average american eating and super high stress that wrecked my ability to eat many of those foods. I decided to have more compassion on myself over the last few yrs. And figure these things out. Keto, intermitten fasting, paleo, etc. We're kind of on the radar but they didn't show the complete picture. All of those would cause massive reactions for a variety of reasons...too much fat or not enough items to add bulk to my meals and other irritating items that are ok on the list but not my guts favorite thing. You really have to tailor the diet to the needs and very few fad diets even touch on it...even fasting cause problems because of the stress it puts on my body and psycologically triggering also. I also do better with smaller meals that skipping and eating big doesn't allow. Be very careful and aware, everyone!l

Enjoying your channel

You are so sweet Your video made me feel so much better

Thanks for tge honest bl8g. I empathize as, I have IBS too.

Just saw a new dr today who recommended i try FODMAP for a few weeks while i wait for a GI referral. I was overwhelmed at first but this video was really reassuring :)

Hi I suffer from really bad bloating and love ur blog ur very good it helps a lot 💗

Thank you so much for mentioning Garlic , milk , gluten

I believe I have IBS and it’s been really bad especially lately, but I’m realizing that basically everyday I eat trigger foods. And I always have had PTSD and anxiety. It makes perfect sense why I have it! This video was super helpful for me. I’ve been feeling super discouraged from not being able to eat most things and always being in pain. Thank you for making this video!! You gave me great ideas and I don’t feel so alone now💜 P.S.: I LOVE your personality! Your smile and energy is infectious. I’m so happy I found your video

I enjoyed this video so much. As someone who suffers from IBS it is so nice to see people open up about the struggles. Trying to explain a low FODMAP diet to someone is so difficult, but it made me feel so much better seeing someone understand it and follow this diet. One question I had was about your breakfast…aren’t bananas high in FODMAPs?

This video makes me feel so related to!

You did an awesome job 😀

This lightened my mood thnk u

I suffer all the time from blockages. Severe abdominal pain. Gas Diarrhea. Its really hard to find a happy medium for me. Trying learn this stuff! just to have some relief. Nice fun way she shows what she does.

Need to test yourself for FODMAP problems. This is a HUGE part of the IBS problem ❤

Have you tried psyllium? Pretty tasteless can add it, but a little goes a long way. Look it up! Thanks for sharing. So helpful. ❤️

I am a 56 year old female,i have both types of IBS, it started in my early 40's, I have an idea what foods to avoid, now, But IBS , is not a cool thing to Have😢 I also have a hemorrhoid issue,gas,bloating,diarrhoea,foods that cant dissolve, it's crazy. I love how honest You are about everything.😂 I Hope in the near future,there will be a solution for IBS, patients. 😊

I😂😂😂😂😂am lmbo with your lovely personality!! You saying "R.I.P yo my reputation.😂😂😂😂😂😂

Brilliant video and very uplifting. I am pre-diabetic so a lot of the food that you suggested such as grapes and tangerines are not really good for people that are pre-diabetic. Also, I heard or read that any dairy products are not bad for people with IBS. I realized everybody's different video.

Ty for sharing your info. I just have developed IBS. Not fun. Learning whatI can and can't eat.

Thank you for the video! It was very informative. Some of the information is a bit misleading though. Honey is very high fodmap. Coconut is high fodmap too, but if you have very little is fine.

Hi, thank you so much for this ! I have been struggling so much and have avoided this diet but now I have no choice . I am sick of getting sick . Can you please share an example of a simple grocery list ? I do not know where to start . I have IBS and have been diagnosed.

Flour is processed differently in different parts of the world. I follow a couple GF people on IG that can eat regular pasta in Italy for the same reason you talked about the pierogis.

I just found out a few months ago I have IBS, watching your video has guving lots hope and idea's. I have about 32 to 36 foods I only eat. My favorite fruit is watermelon 🍉 and that one of the things that really hurts my toummy.

Thank you 😊!

You've made me feel so much better. I have that breakfast so often at the moment and grapes and cheese is a huge love for me 😂 what a relief. I was so worried i wont be able to eat anything anymore haha. Im still trying to figure out what my triggers are, but i think so far it may be onion, garlic, dairy (if i have lots) and maybe gluten (tho not all items trigger me?) Would really love to see a video that explains how to figure out your triggers etc. ☺️ Also is there a good website source to use for finding a list of foods that might be triggers?

For the difference in wheat/ gluten products over seas, it's because of a couple of factors. 1. There are certain products that aren't available/ not allowed over in European and Asian countries. One that is mentioned a lot is Round-Up for spraying plants to prevent pests. Some people are way more sensitive to it than others. 2. The cultures tends to promote healthy styles of cooking and eating.

When I had IBS attack the first time, I had to follow all the restrictions and followed it for a long time. After 6 months my stomach settled completely. Little by little I started eating almost everything for so many years. In this pandemic I started cooking my spicy traditional Indian food a lot using garlic and onion. Now I am getting this flare up with constipation. When I was watching your video, I understand that we will suffer if we take risk. I am going to continue my basic diet for sometime. Sticking to it is hard. Thank you for the the cheerful video.

Thank you!

Creeper alert comment- you’re so cute lol Ok so, thanks so much for keeping this video light and fun, I’m new to ibs after a nasty c-Diff infection and rightfully so, nervous 😬 but you helped me relax about it :) I’m thankfully not new to eating healthy but gluten-free Fodmap is a whole different level lol Oh and definitely subscribed :)

Thank you 👍🙏💯🎉🎊

i just got diagnosed yesterday, im a little mixy mix combo of both types too :[ it's been insanely painful and i honestly dont know what to do, i cried yesterday cuz i cant have candy in halloween and that certainly made me upset :,) im trying to keep going with my life and school but for now im in quite a bit of pain frequently, i want to balance sports but it's been kind of hard, i want to just stop being in pain but lucky me i got my period today so add cramps to the mix, im gonna try my best to balance it all and i still need to get checked for pancreatitis and other things that might also be affecting this but oh welp. thanks for this!!!!♡

Do you have recipe for the ground chicken burgers with spinach and cranberry? Sounds good

Thank you for this video. My husbands SED Rate and another test directly related to Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis was over 1500, it should be under 50

I’ve been in the worst pain ever since November and my doctor sucks so I refuse to see him, but I will definitely be trying these foods and they look delicious

Leanne, I really enjoyed your video. I have SIBO and IBS-C and have been eating low FOD map for about a month now. I have a theory about why you can eat Ukrainian pierogi easily but not Canadian pierogi. I think it has to do with the quality of the wheat. In the USA and possibly in Canada, wheat nowadays is nothing like what we used to grow 50 years ago. most of it is genetically modified. In Ukraine, you have better wheat that is not genetically modified. I find that when I travel in Europe in general, I have much fewer bowel issues and can eat a wider variety of foods that I can at home. This includes Dairy! Or maybe I am just less stressed when I travel. Like you, I am not perfect and I sometimes stray from my Low Fodmap diet but life is short and occasionally you just have to go for it and eat the ice cream. Sending you much love during this very hard time for Ukraine. ❤️🇺🇦

Thank you

Hi Leanne have you ever done the food sensitivity test as well? Right off the bat this test tells you what you should avoid. No guessing game.

I know that some gluten free bread doesn't really taste like non gluten free bread but other than sourdough, my go to gluten free bread is from Little Northern Bakehouse Gluten Free Bread. They make a seeds and grains one that I love. It looks like "real" bread and tastes great. Walmart carries it, at least in Canada (I'm in Vancouver).

I hardly ever been regular throughout my whole life. I relied on laxatives and suppositories. Just recently with the pressure of pandemic, having 2 ADHD kids, working in healthcare etc my tummy went mental. It affected my mental in such a negative way, I wasn’t sure I wanted to live anymore 🥺 fortunately I did a long fast and I got better soon. Now trying the low FODMAP diet so pray for me 🤞

The reason you may not have a reaction to some flours is because not all countries require the addition of additives such as vitamins. some people find they can eat bread in Italy for example with not reaction but not in UK where the law says vitamins etc must be added to bread flour.

Just the cutest human

Thank you you helped me

thank you for this video! im curious, do you have ibs-c or d? thank you

I fixed my IBS by going on the carnivore diet. No more bloating, No more constipation, no more diarrhea, no more gas.

My Dr. just told me to stop eating what I can’t process of elimination. I also eat half a lemon or lime or a slice of Pineapple after I eat. It helps so much 😁

OH MY GOSH YOU WATCH DELILAH TOO!? I absolutely love her!

While I haven't been formally diagnosed, I haven't been able to go to the doctor yet but I found the FODMAP online and was desperate for the pain to go away. I have been on it for three weeks and I have zero to minimal pain. I'm extremely afraid of pain as my pain tolerance is very low (its a wonder I had kids), so I will not be tempted to eat the things I love and feel horrible pain. I've already been in the ER to help with pain management. My job is about to start again. I need to find friendly lunches and snacks otherwise I'll be leaving the classroom multiple times a day for diahrea..

Thanks for your video! It’s very insightfu! Question though couldn’t one eat one fodmap food in one day to see if it triggers symptoms?
