Summary
You may already be familiar with something called the low FODMAP diet, which I’ve talked about in previous episodes. Although the low FODMAP diet can be very effective in relieving symptoms of IBS, it’s not necessarily appropriate or doable by everyone.
Beth Rosen joins me to talk about some alternatives to the FODMAP approach for managing IBS.
Beth is a registered dietitian specializing in GI nutrition and disordered eating. She has designed techniques and programs to help chronic dieters, disordered eaters, and those in eating disorder recovery to mend their relationship with food and their bodies.
In this interview:
- Why we seem to lose the ability to digest or tolerate certain foods as we get older.
- The surprising relationship between eating disorders and IBS and disordered eating.
- What are FODMAPs and where are they found?
- The challenges of trying to do a low-FODMAP diet on your own.
- Who might not be a good candidate for a low-FODMAP approach.
- Modified dietary approaches (“FODMAP-lite”).
- Non-dietary interventions such as CBT for IBS.
- The role that digestive enzyme supplements can play in managing IBS.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Nutrition Diva Podcast. I'm your host Monica Reinegel. And today |
| 0:10.0 | we're going to talk about IBS irritable bowel syndrome. And you may already be familiar |
| 0:16.0 | with something called the low FODMAP diet. I've talked about that in previous episodes. And |
| 0:21.6 | although the low FODMAP diet can be very effective in relieving symptoms of IBS, it's not necessarily |
| 0:29.2 | appropriate or even doable by everyone. Joining me today on the podcast is Beth Rosen. To talk |
| 0:36.9 | about some possible alternatives or even refinements to the FODMAP approach for managing IBS, |
| 0:43.7 | Beth is a registered dietitian. She specializes in GI nutrition and also disordered eating. And she's |
| 0:50.5 | designed techniques and programs that help chronic dieters, disordered eaters, and those in eating |
| 0:57.2 | to sort of recovery to mend their relationship with food and their bodies. Welcome to the podcast, |
| 1:03.3 | Beth. Thanks so much, Monica. I'm very glad to have you here today. I know this topic is of interest |
| 1:10.0 | to a large subset of my followers who may have been diagnosed with IBS, but also those who may just |
| 1:17.2 | suspect that they may have it or they've experimented with the low FODMAP approach because they experience |
| 1:24.7 | frequent digestive distress that seems, well, for lack of a better term, IBS-ish. But before we get |
| 1:32.4 | into more detail about what the low FODMAP diet is and why it may actually not be the best approach |
| 1:40.0 | for everyone, I happen to be corresponding with a listener over the weekend and she asked me to |
| 1:44.6 | ask you this question. Why is it that we seem to lose the ability to digest or tolerate certain |
| 1:53.2 | foods as we get older that these digestive symptoms can appear in our 30s, 40s or 50s with foods |
| 2:00.3 | that we didn't use to have any trouble with? Do you have any ideas about that? I think it comes from |
| 2:05.0 | a host of reasons, right? So certainly we have hormonal changes as we age, especially women |
| 2:12.3 | that could impact our microbiome, which are the microbes that live in our gut and actually all |
| 2:19.6 | over our bodies. And we're doing a lot of research now and we as the scientific community, |
| 2:26.3 | doing a lot of research on the microbiome now to really understand how it works to help us and |
