It is a confusing health disorder. Thanks for posting. look forward to the sequel!

I am 82 years old, have had asthma for a number of years and have just been diagnosed with COPD. I have never smoked, why do I have it? I use inhalers and have tablets but it seems to flare up more often than not. What can I do? Alice.

I cant believe youre still saying its ok to eat gassy vegetables like broccoli and also sweetcorn when each little kernal creates an internal war zone for ibs sufferers...

ALL carbs affect my son. He has the CONSTIPATION type of IBS with occasional, but a massive ammount of involuntary incontinence from all the backed-up poo.

Really useful information, thank you. l have had uncomplicated diverticulosis for two years. No symtoms at all except fo a large ammount of blood loss only once. Hence a colonascopia, uncomplicated diverticulosis. The Specialist put me on antibiotics for life! After two years l have taken myself off the antibiotics against my doctors advise! l am still keeping very well. Never have had any discomfort at all.Keep to a good diet. Was l right to do this?l live in Spain by the way, maybe they think differently here.Oh and l am a young 80yr. old lady.

My esophagus is like it is stopped up! What can do? Tell me!

Very informative thankyou

They didn't say whether the foods should be consumed at the same time or over the day?

Thanks a lot

Huge thanks for this, really appreciate all this information.👍

dear ladies. thank you very much for this insightful webinar. you told my story: I started hrt in my early 40s because of osteoporosis. I have post infectious ibs and my symptoms of bloating and distension got worse. moreover, I had breathing tenderness the whole month and I had mood swings. I tried hrt twice in two separate years for 3 months. due to my symptoms, I quit hrt and I am not keen on trying it again. the weight bearing training and resistance training with my personal trainer has helped me in reversing my osteoporosis. so thank you for emphasising the power of resistance and Weight bearing training. kind regard, Reimara.

thank you, ladies, for this insightful webinar. I appreciate the knowledge that you shared. i am pleased that you mentioned the fodmap diet for ibs. however, it is important to note that this diet does NOT exclude any food group. also, when people have a lack of intake of calcium on this diet, then they are most likely excluding more foods than necessary. the fodmap diet contains hard cheeses and lactose free yoghurts that are replete with calcium. so there should not be any calcium deficiency on this diet unless there is an absorption issue. but then this is not due to the fodmap diet itself. also, you depicted in the slide that fatty foods should be avoided. this is in contrast to the fodmap diet that is about avoiding certain carbohydrates. I think it is important to emphasise that people should avoid fatty ultraprocessed foods. not only ibs patients. moreover, it is probably not the fat in these foods that cause the symptoms but the artificial sweeteners, preservatives and additives, which the human body by evolution does not recognise as food. I'm looking forward to your next webinar. kind regards, Reimara

If I get symptoms from reintroducing a food, how long do I need to wait to reintroduce the next food? example: if Garlic upsets my stomach on day 2, how many days would I need to wait to reset my system to start the Onion 3 day process? Thanks!

Good, helpful info, thanks.

Excellent advice gentlemen, very many thanks indeed

I would be great to start with a definition of COPD. I am still not sure what it is!

My UC was diagnosed at Taunton Hospital in 1992!

This looks to be very informative. I know nothing of the FODMAP process.

The video was so helpful! I cook low FODMAP menu every single day. Fortunately I have good recipes!

I absolutely agree with the statement that quantity or combination can be the problem. In September I decided that table sugar and the sugary processed items from the grocery store was the cause of my arthritic inflammation. So I decided to convert to artificial sweeteners and those that were considered healthy sweeteners like Stevia and erythritol. I purchased a bunch of packet sweeteners that contained Stevia, erythritol, and monk fruit. After about two weeks, I had an area of inflammation that sent me to the ER. CAT scan confirmed it was not diverticulitis, just inflammation. I had another bout in mid October and another in November, all different areas of my abdomen, but clearly intestinal. Now its December and I have diverticulitis with a fever. I was using this sweetener in my coffee as well as buying many items from the store that were no-sugar products; like pancake syrup sweetened with Xylitol, and a protein drink sweetened with erythritol, etc. I was heavily invested in my no-sugar rule! What I was not aware of is that sugar alcohols from these artificial sweeteners were basically GI suicide. Hot beds of sugar now in my intestines that bacteria feed off of. I don't even have to do the FODMAP procedure because I was free from diverticulitis for well over five years. I'm confident that if I rid myself of these artificial sweeteners, or at least reduce my daily use of them, that my gut will return to normal again. I'm positive that I've had these same sweeteners in my diet before because the protein drink was something that I've had pretty much daily for many years without any problem. Adding a boat-load of artificial sweeteners to my died was disastrous!

I am an under 40 amateur athlete. Had a terrible pneumonia in March requiring hospitalization. I completed an Ironman 4 months after the hospital. Top 5% in, v02 max. My lungs are fully recovered. For my job, which requires strict medical requirements, they made me do a PFT and a CPEX. In both cases, they said my COPD showed up. I have absolutely no symptoms. It is such a wild diagnosis. They are only using that one spirometry number. How is this possible to never smoke, have zero symptoms, yet have "COPD" based on Spirometry and CPEX? They had the make the CPEX harder to get a valid result. It was too easy. I have been asking all over the place because this diagnosis may end my career. It just doesn't make sense

Sadly some gluten - free cakes in the supermarket contains fructose syrup...

Very helpful video! Are the french beans you mentioned the same veg as runner beans? Would you advise the use of probiotics? Thank you.

USA MD , here . Very impressed with your common sense approach which is evidenced based and based on experience. As you know there are many different and sometimes conflicting diets and treatments recommended for IBS. This is par for the course for a functional disorder. For example, I sometimes need an antidepressant to treat my IBS and depression after reading about FODMAP diet as the ONLY way to go. I have a colleague who I consulted who does not believe in IBS( “ IBS is BS”) and told me my American diet with Red meat , processed foods, no fiber caused my diverticular disease seen on screening Colonoscopy AND my IBS like symptoms (paradoxical diarrhea , flatulence , mild pain). He prescribed a high fiber diet, “ vegan plus” . I quit after two weeks. I will go through your videos; I am excited. The only problem is one of your narrators does not speak any English I am familiar with.

Best introduction to IBS. I've wachted many videos, but this is the best, and the conversational style makes it much easier to +digest+ than others. I recommend also taking a look on their Low FODMAP 2022 Update video.

"Promosm"

Mine seems to be progressing rapidly

How can people shower, groom, dress, etc, for a trip to a doctor when breathing is so difficult? I always stay home, but twice it became full respiratory failure and I.C.U.

If you get bloating, even shortly after you wake up before food, could this still be IBS ?

Personally, I would like to try more fermented food in my diet to decrease the IBS. Located in the UK, I drink the genuine kvass for my gut health :)

Fantastic seminar and has put my mind at rest when being told by your GP that you have a disease. Could a link to this seminar be put on the NHS Diverticular disease and diverticulitis A -Z page. I had to search NHS DD on google to find this advice. Would advise that patients (me) should watch this video twice and take notes. Most of the comments below are answered in the seminar. Thank you again.

Very informative. More information than my pulmonologist gives me. Healthcare in the USA is really going down hill fast. So sad.

Keep off processed food, oil, sugar and research nutrition regularly using providers who don't have a vested interest. Dr Michael Greger, Mic the Vegan...

Spreads, plant milk, marmite, nooch all have B12 in

Vitamin D comes from the Sun. Don't forget darker skin. People with southern ancestors....I have Italian in me and need D12 all year round...

Why is bile acid reflux which is different from acid reflux and treated differently not mentioned on any nhs pages I read online, only pages from the USA?

There is too much conversation. Can you get to the point! What are the low fodmap foods!

Mine is >50,000

I was diagnosed 15 years ago. I quit smoking 2 days after my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my first exacerbation. It progresses, even if you quit. I will say that the Breztri inhaler has been a Godsend!

With coeliac disease is it normal to have a painful stomach

I have asked my doctor to test me for coeliac I asked him to do the test for TTG and Total IgA but he only ordered TTG and didn't order Total IgA. I thought both had to be done for coeliac testing and should be ordered together. I'm not sure he understands the tests, I think he's going to wait for the result of the TTG and then decide if I need to get Total IgA tested but I'm not sure if that's the correct thing to do. Please can someone advise??

Too long and too little information. Could have been condensed into a 20-30 minute seminar with more organisation. They spent the first 7 minutes telling us to seek medical help.

Here's a link to the video they mentioned kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMVhe92dntWZmZc.html :)

I have just been diagnosed with COPD after collapse. I collapsed I thought it was getting older and chest infections now I have fear all around me I'm really frightened.

The adult learning today is very off- putting and patronising, with the drawings and cartoon visuals. As soon as I see it, I cover the screen.

No wonder this country has such an issues with health problems caused from food, when people with health problems have the nhs telling them to drink n eat processed crap like milk with no lactose or oat n nut milk, crisps, chocolate, cereals, tofu, oils, golden syrup, sugars. All processed crap, which is more than likely why people end up with digestive issues like ibs. Not saying a low fob diet isn’t a bad idea and can’t help sort out issues with ibs but you shouldn’t be eating processed crap in the first place and this regime should only be mentioning things that are natural and have not been tampered with. Also snaking doesn’t help with digestive issues at all either. Nhs need to sort their shit out. They recommend getting a dietitian to help you with this, nice one, cos their dietitians are useless. Not everyone can afford to pay for a dietitian tho or even have the time to figure this stuff out them selves after working shit hours in shit jobs n then having to deal with the stress of the health issues they have that the nhs aren’t properly helping them with.

this is so useful! thank you
