IBS affects over 11% of the global population, (that’s one in every 9 people you meet!!) so let’s not be embarrassed about it! I want this channel to be a safe, open and kind place for people dealing with IBS. We’re far from alone, so let’s ask questions, share advice and feel better together xx
▽ What are FODMAPs?
The term FODMAP is an acronym, derived from "Fermentable, Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols”. They are short carbohydrates found in lots of healthy foods, which the bacteria in your intestines will break down, producing gas in the process.
For unclear reasons, some people are particularly sensitive to this and experience painful and embarrassing symptoms such as bloating, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, constipation and fatigue. FODMAP restriction has been found to improve symptoms in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID).
▽ What is a Low-FODMAP Diet?
The Low-FODMAP diet usually involves carefully cutting the down the amount of FODMAPs you consume over a day and at one time for 2-6 weeks until your symptoms resolve or at least become manageable. Then you “re-challenge” each type of FODMAP individually to see how sensitive you are to them. Thankfully most people can tolerate some or all of the FODMAPs at certain levels or combinations.
▽ Is it forever?
NO! From this feedback, you can reintroduce foods in a way that won’t set off your symptoms. Your tolerance will likely improve over time, so you can always retest foods when you feel up to it.
▽ Resources For Vegan Low-FODMAPers
These are some two things I’ve found to be invaluable since starting the low-FODMAP diet.
The first is the official app* from The Monash University. It’s the easiest and most up-to-date way to check what foods are A-okay and how big your portion size can be. Measurements come in grams, as well as "cups", which is great as a brit!
itunes.apple.com/us/app/monas...
The second is the ONLY vegan cookbook* I’ve found among the masses of meat-filled low-FODMAP ones. Admittedly it's not totally my style of cooking but it has been a great inspiration and it is very informative.

Thirdly, the lowFODMAP vegan stock cubes make cooking sooooo much easier! And they don’t cost more than normal ones either, woop. amzn.to/2NuT93f

[@Tom-tk4ir]

This channel is the one thing keeping me from utter depression. Thank you so much for holding my life together ❤️ I’m 13 and have had IBS for 2 years since year 7 and thought all hope was lost and that I’d have to put up with it for years, until amazing people like you began sharing tips and letting people know they’re not alone against this terrible syndrome.

[@katelynstuder1]

i hope you’re okay

[@blank8974]

Hi. Appreciate this one. These days my IBS symptoms have triggered badly with terrible tummy pain plus a headache. Really couldn't focus on my work and to wake up morning is so difficult. Saw ur feed in morning felt so relieved. 😇😍😚. Thanks for helping everyone here.

[@SirXer]

[@temp850]

What a lovely young person. Simple breathing exercises like this are very helpful. 🙏🌻💜

[@kungfulearn]

Thanks for sharing! Your videos are always nice and calming. I've been vegetarian/vegan for 16 years and usually struggle during vegan diet due to stomach problems, but now I've been doing it for 2 months without trouble (usually problems start within first week). Even these stressful times don't seem to bother my gut. Thank you for sharing good recipes and yoga/breathing videos, they're big help!

[@wonderland2023]

I am in a severe flair and breathing and meditation does help out. 🙏 Prayer too. I hope you all feel better soon. It's hard. It will get better.

[@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject]

I'm glad breathing and meditation helps you and hope you feel better soon!

[@ge0ne063]

Push the Fiber 30-35mg daily, Metamucil aint just only for the old. Consider a Colon Cleanse. Add those Fiber Tortilla Wraps to your Diet. Water too

[@FellDownTheCornHole]

I don’t know what’s worse my social anxiety or my IBS.

[@lisie4937]

Hey Carrie thank you for the Video! Do you have an video about the alternatives of Low FODMAP vegan Milk, yogurt and cream? Ist's really hard to find out about that:( Sorry for the englisch..

[@omerta316]

I have more faith in KZbin health channels than the Local GP

[@truetonorth]

I need probiotics daily, CALM magnesium powder every day also helps me. Thanks for this.

[@RSkate_]

I just came across your video. I have been doing the Wim Hof Breathwork. I don't know if you are aware of this breathwork but I want to ask if wim Hof Breathwork is helpful in IBS?

[@lordwilksy]

[@srinidhimv9893]

Can alternate nostril breathing be used for this issue?

[@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject]

Yes, I think it would be very calming and slow the exhale

[@Lucyart]

Thanks. What about breathing during night sleep? I developed a bad habit years ago, which is to block my throat opening during sleep, by pressing my tongue against my mouth roof. Resulting 8 hours of mouth blockage daily. Breathing shallow through the nose. I think it's not healthy at all. Although people tell that we should avoid breathing through the mouth during sleep. I want to unlearn this habit. Can anyone help me?

[@user-iv5up1cu2z]

did you ever find an answer?

[@Lucyart]

@@user-iv5up1cu2z i didn't get any answers. Do you have the same problem?

[@patriciajames7911]

How long are we supposed to do this for and how many times in a day?

[@bayviewstore8361]

so tough to concentrate on breathing...,.....Your efforts are so much appreciated by IBS people that are tethered to a bathroom. You are an angel ! (what happened to the long blonde hair?...look like a movie star ..please bring back the long hair)

[@tomking3164]

Please help me too, it happened 30 minutes after I wake up and eat. My stomach will feel bloating and I cant breath. I will have to tap to my stomach constantly to breath and for a while I feel like I need to take a deep breath. For me to take a deep breath I have to tap the top of my stomach, in the middle of my chest fast for me to take a deep breath. It happened to me everyday. Sometime I feel like I am under water and can’t breathe. I scared taking a deed breath too cause I fear my heart will stop when taking that deep breath. Please help anyone

[@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject]

This does not sound like IBS. I would visit your doctor for advice. Hope you feel better soon

Thank u

[@lyssacorrine]

This messed me up! You shouldn't counted - inhale 1,2,3,4,5, exhale 5,4,3,2,1, 😬

[@mihirlalbhaumik9811]

Demonstration of the breathing technique would have been better.

[@davidmg1925]

pretty dress

[@jatindersidhu5207]

Not showing how to do it, defeats the purpose of making a video, Are you inhaling and exhaling through nose or mouth.
