Michelle GrosserHOST
I thought I had celiac.
Michelle GrosserHOST
Maybe you've done like Whole30 or you've cut dairy or all of the things, right? You made it your way through like the FODMAP elimination diet and reintroduced everything.
Michelle GrosserHOST
And what you learned is like, okay, I'm really good at following instructions.
Michelle GrosserHOST
Um, but digestion is a parasympathetic function.
Nicholas TalleyGUEST
So that's one very, very simple approach.
Nicholas TalleyGUEST
But I think the most impressive data remains with the low fermentable carbohydrate diets, the low FODMAP diet approach, which was really, you know, spearheaded by Monash University and the group down there in Australia.
Nicholas TalleyGUEST
And that diet's been shown to improve IBS symptoms in 50 to 70 percent of IBS patients.
Nicholas TalleyGUEST
who are adherent to the dietary protocol.
Nicholas TalleyGUEST
There's information, but it's hard to do on your own.
Nicholas TalleyGUEST
So I always tell patients, please, you know, it's important that you get expert guidance here.
Nicholas TalleyGUEST
And the other thing is you don't go on a low FODMAP diet and stay on that permanently.
Nicholas TalleyGUEST
The idea is to go on that for a period of time and then have reintroduction of food so that we can identify what's what's really precipitating symptoms and have that removed from the diet.
Bevan McKinnonHOST
Yeah, nice.
Bevan McKinnonHOST
Now, the reason I was laughing when we started is that influenza, and you're currently got a little bit of IBS, so you're on a FODMAP diet.
Bevan McKinnonHOST
So influenza, high fructose gels, a lot of sugar in the day.
Bevan McKinnonHOST
You mentioned something about nearly having a tailored moment with a couple of farts later on in the run.
Melanie GluesteinGUEST
I've just got to avoid those.
Melanie GluesteinGUEST
That's a bit of a danger zone because one of the big red flags for me is when people have kind of self-diagnosed online, look at all these FODMAPs and they stay on a low FODMAP diet long term.
Melanie GluesteinGUEST
And that is never the goal because you actually need some of these foods.
Melanie GluesteinGUEST
They're not bad.
Les RaymondHOST
Even though I could have three or four times the amount of sugar and carbohydrate in the grapes.
Les RaymondHOST
So there really is a lot of... individual variability probably and what carbs are best for what people and some of them like and there's so many kinds of FODMAPs and for listeners if you're not familiar FODMAPs are essentially fermentable carbohydrates a bunch of different kinds but you could be really sensitive to some of those FODMAPs and not at all to others so I feel like people really have to explore with some strategy to narrow down what is best for you.
Jay FeldmanGUEST
Yeah.
Jay FeldmanGUEST
And although I will say what you're saying there is consistent with like general FODMAP exposure, like grapes are relatively low in FODMAPs, whereas apples and apple juice are very high.
Jay FeldmanGUEST
because as you're saying, it's not just the overall carbohydrate or sugar content, it's specific carbohydrates that we don't break down and absorb, so they go on to feed bacteria.
Jay FeldmanGUEST
And with that, our goal is to be able to do really well with thought maps.
Les RaymondHOST
Which if you're dealing with endotoxin, you don't want extra prebiotics.
Jay FeldmanGUEST
Yeah.
Amy GoblirschGUEST
And a
Leigh MerottoHOST
FODMAP, yeah.
Amy GoblirschGUEST
Yeah, so...
Amy GoblirschGUEST
It's the great thing is typically you're using it for recovery.
Leigh MerottoHOST
It is good.
Leigh MerottoHOST
It's a nice treat too.
Leigh MerottoHOST
And yeah, in terms of GI considerations, I think the biggest one would just be FODMAP content.
Leigh MerottoHOST
So for someone with IBS, if you're following a full low FODMAP diet and you're not sure about your sorbitol tolerance, then maybe it's a no for now.
Judith LucyGUEST
So basically what – happened.
Judith LucyGUEST
She said, these viruses have completely stripped your digestive system and you need to go on the FODMAP diet, which I have done in the past.
Judith LucyGUEST
And so I thought, screw that.
Judith LucyGUEST
I know the diet pretty well.
Sunil PaiGUEST
Fiber helps reduce SIBO, dysbiosis, overgrowths, and it makes that barrier of your leaky gut.
Sunil PaiGUEST
So if you see a SIBO doc, if you have SIBO, for example, and you go, I see a SIBO doc and they want to put me on a FODMAPS diet and they want to put me on a keto diet, that's just a temporary fix for a long-term problem that won't be solved because the plant fiber, the more that you have over time prevents you from having SIBO again or leaky gut, right? Right? But there's clinics.
Sunil PaiGUEST
I've seen doctors who sell programs and they're online.
Sunil PaiGUEST
My patients will come to me and say, hey, I've been in this program.
Erin JudgeHOST
My symptoms are maybe better.
Erin JudgeHOST
Or like I can prevent some of the reactions that I was having before due to FODMAPs.
Erin JudgeHOST
I'm learning a lot about what enzymes actually can do and like how to harness the power of enzymes in a new way.
Erin JudgeHOST
And so I thought there was no other way that we should start this season without bringing on my colleague, my boss, technically and friend, fellow dietician, GI specialist, Jocelyn Wells, who also works for FODZIME.
Jocelyn WellsGUEST
from there when things move into your colon we're starting to talk about a different type of digestive enzyme so there's what i've talked to you about up front these are all enzymes that are produced by the body either by your pancreas or by the lining of your digestive tract in the colon things are a little different this is where we start relying on the microbes there to be producing enzymes that actually help us break down things that we don't make enzymes to digest and which without these microbes, they would otherwise wreak havoc.
Jocelyn WellsGUEST
It would be hard for us to digest them and we can have some symptoms there, or they sometimes just pass through our digestive tract and we don't really notice it.
Jocelyn WellsGUEST
So these microbes are helping us break down things like fiber, including some FODMAPs.
Jocelyn WellsGUEST
They'll help with resistant starch.
Hannah AylwardHOST
So when it comes to something like SIBO or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, We have these excessive bacteria present in the small intestine where fermentation can occur earlier than it should, which can often look like and feel like in the body, bloating shortly after meals, excessive gas and bloating, belching, visible abdominal distension, abdominal pain or pressure, constipation or diarrhea, or a combination of the two where you swing back and forth.
Hannah AylwardHOST
And you may even feel some temporary relief when we decrease this fiber content or decrease things like FODMAP-rich foods.
Hannah AylwardHOST
Now, FODMAPs are really just fermentable carbohydrates that are actually very good for our gut microbiome, especially the gut microbiome that's present in the large intestine and the colon, right? We never want to exclude FODMAPs for a long period of time because it can actually have detrimental effects on our gut microbial diversity in the long run, right? Like a couple of weeks is going to be okay, but sometimes we'll see clients who have been on the low FODMAP diet for like three years.
Hannah AylwardHOST
That is a big no-no in my book because we're not, A, we're not addressing like why you need the low FODMAP diet in the first place.
Hannah AylwardHOST
And B...
Hannah AylwardHOST
We are kind of setting your microbiome up for the opposite of success long term when we continue to restrict more foods, especially fibers.
