This is the FODMAP app I recommend to my IBS and SIBO patients, developed by @monashfodmap 👍🏽👍🏽. . What the heck is a FODMAP? They are fermentable dietary carbohydrates that are difficult for some people to digest and absorb. FODMAPs that aren’t digested and absorbed are fermented by gut bacteria leading to gas, bloating, cramping and pain. They also pull water into the bowel which can lead to diarrhea or loose stools and a sense of urgency 😳 Lactose found in milk is a prime example 🥛 . . The low FODMAP diet limits these foods and has been shown to reduce IBS symptoms. It’s not a diet in the traditional sense but a method to figure out which FODMAPs you tolerate and which you do not, in what amounts, so you can gain some control over your bowel symptoms. ⛽️🎈 . . For example, maybe you can’t eat a whole avocado but you tolerate a few slices. Note too self: don’t overdo it on the guacamole before you have an important meeting or a hot date (and by hot date I mean hot yoga) 🥑 . . #ibs #sibo #fodmap #integrativemedicine #naturopathicmedicine #gastroenterology #collingwood #guthealth #microbiome #digestion #guthealthmatters #gut #guthealing #bloating #gassy #diarrhea #ibsdiet . . #Repost @monashfodmap with @get_repost ・・・ Did you know?

#instafail alert! 🤯 I just composed a really informative post about wheat, celiac disease, your guts, immune system and SIBO and it disappeared without a trace! Does this topic interest you? It comes up a lot in my practice and I wanted to share what I’ve learned because there is so much to say. What do you want to know about gluten? Comment or DM and I’ll try to answer your questions. 🌾 Also, this pasta recipe is from a cooking class I attended in Italy and it is full of gluten. I want to make a GF version for all the celiacs in my life so I can share the joy of hand made pasta. If you’ve got a good GF recipe I would love to hear from you! 🍝 #celiac #gluten #wheat #glutenfree #pasta #orecchiette Recipe: @masseriacervarolo

If you haven’t pooped since 2019, we should probably talk! There are many possible causes of constipation. It can occur with certain medications 💊 metabolic and neurologic disorders 🧠 anatomic abnormalities causing obstruction 🤬 and psychosocial issues. It can be secondary to underlying hypothyroidism, diabetes, and bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Sometimes it can be really complicated but often it’s simple: NOT ENOUGH FIBRE. You’ve heard it before: “you are what you eat”. Turns out that’s not the whole truth. Your gut and whole body is affected in important ways by your gut bacteria and what THEY eat. I’ll give you a hint: they like fibre! 🦠 A really cool study found that “diet-specific modulation of the gut microbiota can facilitate pathogen colonization and a fibre-deprived microbiota enhances disease susceptibility”. Translation: when you don’t eat enough fibre it starves your colon microflora but they don’t just die off; they start to eat your gut lining instead! When the gut lining is eroded you become susceptible to gut infections and inflammation. It’s no surprise since other studies have found that low fibre intake is associated with an increased risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Since the standard Canadian diet is low in fibre consider this a PSA to eat more fibre rich foods like vegetables, fruit, legumes (beans and lentils) and whole grains (oats, barley). Chances are you’ll poop more regularly while preventing IBD and colon cancer 🙌🏻💩 🎤 . . References: Desai MS, Seekatz AM, Koropatkin NM, et al. A dietary fiber-deprived gut microbiota degrades the colonic mucus barrier and enhances pathogen susceptibility. Cell 2016; 167: 1339–1353, e21. Pigneur B, Ruemmele FM.

Thank you for following and liking this curated, filtered, highlight-reel-version of my life! Here are my #top9of2019 📸 I love to share my fun, sunny, sparkly moments. Perfect avocados, cotton candy sunsets and banana dress wearing good hair days. You don’t see the struggles of working in a demanding profession, the sleepless nights worrying if I missed something, helped enough, am good enough.. the challenges with adulting, anxiety, self doubt and making peace with the past. When you’re feeling less than sparkly and scrolling social media looking at everyone else’s curated lives, impossible vacations and lavish celebrations, remember that behind the filters and presets we are all hurting in some way, we all have cloudy days and credit card statements, and we all cut into $5 avocados that have gone rotten 🥑 Also, you are loved. You are strong. You are beautiful and you are enough. No filter required. May your 2020 be full of sunshine, kittens, good vibes and perfect avocados. 👒💕✌🏻

What was your word for 2019? What important lesson did you learn this year? My word for 2019: clarity 💎 My lesson: trust my gut. It has been a brilliant year. One in which I started to see more clearly than ever before. I’m not referring to my now perfect vision courtesy of Lasik (which is super awesome, by the way) I’m talking about trusting my instincts and abilities, honouring my feelings, valuing my ideas and standing up for my decisions. I’m stoked for 2020 and the adventures that await! ✌🏻 I love this post from @the.good.vibes.girl 💖 ・・・ Vulnerability. ⁣⁣⁣That was my word for 2019. ⁣⁣⁣ If you know me personally, you know I did my best to live into that word everyday. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I did the work. I broke down walls, I created deeper connections with those around me, and I was more honest with myself and my loved ones than I’ve ever been before. It was a year of growth. There were good days and there were not so good days, but what I learned is that this is exactly how life is supposed to be. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Society conditions us to jump on the never ending grind - telling us to have ‘no bad days’ and to ‘keep on hustling.’ But in reality, the bad days are the most important ones, and sometimes we need to sit with that feeling. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I learned that it is what you do in the low periods that define the quality of the rest of your life. You can let pain harden you, building barriers that will remain subconsciously, affecting your relationships, decision making and thinking for the remainder of your days. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Or, you can remain open to the pain and embrace vulnerability, by relying on your own strength and knowledge that every feeling is temporary. You can choose to give purpose to your pain, and you can choose to see it through the lens of love. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Going into 2020, my new word of the year is ‘release’, as I let go and trust that everything is happening as it is supposed to.

I’m a workaholic 🖥 and a night owl 🦉 so getting enough sleep is a struggle. I definitely need 8 hours per night and I’ve started to make it a priority. 9 hours is super yummy 🤤 but 8 feels great. How about you? On that note, goodnight 💤 sleep tight! 🛌 #Repost @goodlifeproject with @get_repost ・・・ The National Institutes of Health suggest that school-age children need at least ten hours of sleep daily, teens need nine to ten hours, and adults need seven to eight hours.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Research shows us that people who sleep either less than five hours or more than nine hours a night fare worse than those who average seven to eight hours. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Are some people outliers? Of course. Are you one? Maybe. But do you really want to take that chance? ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ If you assume you are an exception to the rule but you’re wrong, the price you pay could be catastrophic over time. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Better to start with the assumption that, with regard to sleep needs, you are typical. Then do everything needed to optimize your sleep before accepting that you may be an outlier. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I have friends who slept five to six hours a night for years and just assumed that was all they needed. After optimizing their sleep and bumping it up to seven to eight hours, though, they realized how wrong they were. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Graphic: @thesmiletiles. We recently stumbled across @thesmiletiles and this account if one of our new faves 🧡
