U kno wut, 1) love the vids u put out so fun & cool & relaxing 2) hate that ur in pain but i feel rly represented at u having ibs discomfort even when u do everything technically right. Very validating. I can get so down on myself for when i have a random flare & blame my behaviors, eating habits, when irl this is jus how ur body is sumtimes all u can do is nurture it back to betterment !!

I'm doing well Becky! We've been having a heatwave here in Sweden. Stockholm has been hot (30 degrees) so everyone has been outside enjoying the summer and trying to keep cool! The yoghurt ice pops would be perfect in this heat, thanks for the idea! Happy Birthday to Mark!

[@BeckyExcell]

Oh wow i can't imagine Sweden being that hot - has it cooled down now? xx

[@joh4647]

I really like you Becky!! I obviously don’t know you… however, you are so nice, honest open and kind!! I’m so glad I found you whilst looking up Low Fodmap Elimination phase.. so thank you thank you 😊❤xx

[@seihelou]

These vlogs are definely entertaining just shows ordinary life and peacefull 🙂

[@BeckyExcell]

Thank you! x

[@Steggelfling]

Hiya, I just wanted to drop you a message to say thank you. Because of your books and blogs I've been able to bake treats for my Coeliac partner and daughter. I've gone from not being able to bake a thing, to baking so much as a hobby that people are actually starting to buy off me. You've really impacted my life in such an amazing way. I'm also part of the no friend club, but knowing I'm not alone with it really helps too. Huge love from the West Midlands. 😊❤️

[@traceydeakin7731]

Week two of Low Fodmapping for me and finding your videos super helpful! Just wanted to let you know that you have a 'weed' in your garden which we call puha (poo-har) in New Zealand. Pop it in your soups and stews or eat it fresh while it is young. It gets a little bitter as it gets bigger, but it is yum!

[@seihelou]

Hopefully your stomach is feeling better now! But you seem to still have positive attitude towards life :) I have had a lot of negative thoughts in my head but trying to learn positive thinking.. 😅

[@BeckyExcell]

Aw yeah you've got to be positive! Sadly still got a poorly tummy so annoying!! xx

[@aslhanceylan7938]

Hi i'm watching your videos from Turkey. Your videos and recipies are amazing. I would love to order your cookbook to read all your recipies easily and quickly 😔

[@BeckyExcell]

aww thank you so much :) thats really kind! You can get it on Amazon, Book Depository as well - I know a few from Turkey have ordered it xx

[@darkrose1983]

Love Mark’s BangBang chicken. Can’t believe it’s gluten free. 💜

[@jenwootten7182]

Hey Becky! How about trying the Quick Reads books that you can buy/borrow from the library?? They are shorter stories and I quite often read those instead of full on books just to get some reading in as I nearly always fall asleep when reading and I read the same pages for days!! Off to find my ice lolly moulds and gonna try the squash ones for sure! Have a great day :)

[@BeckyExcell]

I think i will try, id really love to get into reading more! xx

[@skywing959]

I'm good thanks! Trying to enjoy the summer while it lasts, and I'm starting to see the way forward with my career worries. We've got the same tool for stir frying! My dad used to call it the wokking stick.

[@BeckyExcell]

Aw what are your career worries? I'm sure you'll get to where you want to be xx

[@skywing959]

@@BeckyExcell in 2019 I decided it was time to leave my job of 10 years which I was hating more by the day, and go to college and train as an electrician, which is what I really wanted to do. Of course I didn't know a pandemic would hit midway through. I've finished my technical qualifications and I'm now looking for work in the industry so I can complete the rest of my qualifications. Finding work is just proving a little more difficult than I expected, but now things are starting to look more hopeful. A major training provider who I applied for several apprenticeships with now wants to take my application further, and I've also applied for an accreditation that will widen my prospects. So things are looking up, but it seemed hopeless at one point. Haven't looked back since leaving my old job though, don't miss it at all!!

[@sionthomastate3821]

Hi Becky, recently been diagnosed with IBS, was wondering if you're book would help me add variety back to my diet?

[@sarahmellor5386]

Just started low FODMAP and gluten free diet bought your book last week it’s brilliant x

[@BeckyExcell]

aw thank you! x

[@creamyz11]

I would love a book tour / meetup with people as don't know anyone else who is gluten free. Would be great to meet some people who can relate to me :)

[@BeckyExcell]

aww yeah thats what id love about it, everyone getting to meet up with others similar to them! xx

[@karenharris7512]

I’m good thank you 😊 I met my friends this morning for coffee I had maple pancakes with bacon which wasn’t great. Then spent the day catching up with chores. I would love it if you did a book tour or met up for a chat. Mark’s bang bang chicken looked amazing can I ask what noodles you used? I always buy rice noodles that don’t need cooking. 😊 X

[@BeckyExcell]

Aw yay id really like to meet up with more people :D Noodles wise we use rice noodles but dried ones, i bought them in tesco :)

[@karenharris7512]

@@BeckyExcell I made your chocolate cake for beginners today I’m so glad I bought new cakes tins when I saw how runny the mixture was 😆. It was a lovely cake. My family ate it quite happily 😆. I will definitely make it again xx

[@hannahcruse557]

Hi! I'm somewhat confused because some of the foods you're eating are not necessarily low FODMAP... Did you cut more foods out at first and then gradually add them back in?

[@peppermintwoman2049]

I notice there's a cake in the background of your AMAZING video..... what kind is it!? 🥰

[@BeckyExcell]

ooo yes just a simple sponge for Mark's birthday :D

[@NaomiC14]

Hi Becky, it is Monday evening watching this. I am tired after a long shift so am relaxing now watching this video. Happy Birthday to Mark. 🎂 🎉 I hope he had a great one. Last week I made a Pepsi Max ice lolly and like you and Mark have found out, it was tasteless. I will have to make the banana, yogurt and blueberry smoothie one next time. It goes without saying, that I'd love to have you as a friend. Pity I live nowhere near you, else I would ask if you wanted to meet up. Naomi. X

[@BeckyExcell]

Hey Naomi, thanks so much for watching, i hope you've had a lovely weekend xx

[@suzannekazmiruk183]

So nice to see Mark and Peg, it’s been too long

[@BeckyExcell]

Thanks mdear, i love having Peggy in the videos!

[@roxannebudd1978]

I have a horrible time looking at myself in the mirror, I know I have body image problems and have for many years.😕I’m sure I need some help, but don’t know where to go. I think this is a big part of my gut issues. They stress can big part of it. Also love you and Mark and would love to be friends.

[@BeckyExcell]

Hey lovely, its great that you can acknowledge you do have body image problems - i'd honestly recommend seeing a councillor, even just speak to your doctor for advice. It's not fun feeling like that and you shouldnt have to go through it alone - here to talk always 💜 xxx

[@尼安德鲁-n6j]

Thanks for the video

[@michaelshaw1662]

Do a meet and greet Becky, you and Mark could do one. It would be great to meet you both.

[@BeckyExcell]

I'd definitely love to :) I'd drag Mark along too! x

[@nicklong9276]

💩I have IBS with cramping and nausea and vomiting occasionally and with diarrhea what type of bracelets do you recommend if you have one can you send me the link please and thank you.💩🤢🤮 I have ibs with cramps and nausea and diarrhea and bloating and upset tummy. Do she make a ibs line of clothing for men?

[@michimelody4036]

How am I: I've been pretty ill lately, had a massive stomach attack and of course it happened when my younger sister came up to visit. First time I've seen her in over a year and I literally spent most of the time in bed/bathroom. Really frustrated. I just want to feel better and I know it's impossible, my body keeps failing me and my mind feels like screaming 24/7. Thank you for asking, I really needed to get that off my chest.

[@BeckyExcell]

Hey lovely, so sorry that happened at the worst time (no time is good for your stomach playing up but that's the worst!). How are you feeling now? I hope slightly better. I'm still struggling with my tummy for no reason! xx

[@michimelody4036]

@@BeckyExcell I'm able to eat now, which is a plus. I really need to get this under control. The less bloating the easier ilt is to get my ribs back in place and the less they partially dislocate. Having Ibs + eds is not good. I joined your Facebook group recently. Trying to help impart some wisdom in there with the comorbid conditions with IBS. Unfortunately my conditions all run together. Me/CFS, fibro, dysautonomia, eds, chiari and the rest. It's all one big bad group of autoimmune/genetic defect blah(minus the chiari lol)

[@michimelody4036]

@@BeckyExcell I hope you're feeling well today. Can't wait to check out your new video.

I'm watching you rubbing my tummy that's being naughty, great vlog thank you, if you come to Perth Australia I'd be absolutely thrilled to have my book signed by you, hope your tummy feeling a lot better.. xx

[@BeckyExcell]

Hope you are feeling better today! Id love to visit Perth one day! xx

[@darkrose1983]

Hi Moria. I’m in Bunbury, so not far from you. Just had a really bad IBS attack for the past couple of weeks. Love Becky’s videos. She makes you feel you’re not alone with the horrible reality, that is IBS.

[@bethany7247]

I am very very bloated. I have been bloated every day for more than a year at it hurts my self esteem. This is probably due to my IBS, but I have a doctors appointment this week and I am hoping to get answers.

[@BeckyExcell]

Aw yeah how did the doctors appointment go? Always best to have tests incase it is something else xxx

Hi I really enjoy watching your videos and would love to join in with a meet up should one develop. There is no reason for you not having made friends it's quite common I think, i dont really have a friend either work colleagues yes but not a trusted friend which is sad but my journey sounds similar to yours lol. Yes you should definitely do a tour and you'll realise just how much you are worthy of. Your garden looks great by the way your grass is green mine is straw like 😂. Hope your appt on Tues goes well x
