William DavisHOST
You come back five days later, what's happened to the poor dog? The dog is dead.
William DavisHOST
If you don't feed creatures, they die.
William DavisHOST
If you don't feed the creatures in your GI tract, good or bad, they tend to die off or get reduced in numbers.
William DavisHOST
Now, those proteobacteria of colonic dysbiosis and SIBO don't die off completely.
William DavisHOST
They just become reduced in numbers, but they're still there, including in the small intestine.
William DavisHOST
Now, should you continue on the no-carb lifestyle of any sort, ketogenic, carnivorous, low FODMAPs, whatever, Other changes start to develop.
William DavisHOST
For instance, there's an overproliferation of acromantia.
Will BulsiewiczHOST
All right, number two, this is interesting.
Will BulsiewiczHOST
So FODMAPs, FODMAPs, these are the fermentable parts of our food.
Will BulsiewiczHOST
It includes things like lactose from dairy products.
Will BulsiewiczHOST
It includes things like fructans from wheat, barley, rye, or from whole grains or garlic or onions.
Will BulsiewiczHOST
It includes the parts of beans.
Will BulsiewiczHOST
All right.
Will BulsiewiczHOST
And the issue with FODMAPs, first of all, they're actually good for you.
Will BulsiewiczHOST
So I'm not trying to besmirch them.
Leigh MerottoHOST
I personally do find they have say a little bit of gunk in them.
Leigh MerottoHOST
And a lot of them are higher FODMAP.
Leigh MerottoHOST
So they can sometimes make like IBS symptoms worse.
Leigh MerottoHOST
But at the end of the day, as you know, like getting in enough calories, nutrition has to be our foundation.
Leigh MerottoHOST
So they use maple syrup to sweeten.
Leigh MerottoHOST
It is approved as a meal replacement.
Leigh MerottoHOST
So it's got all the macros in there and like four or five, but it is low FODMAP friendly too.
Leigh MerottoHOST
So it's more easy on the GI.
Heather MillsGUEST
Anyway, turns out I studied the colon, didn't have H. pylori, didn't have SIBO, didn't have this.
Heather MillsGUEST
So I started doing manometries, video encapsulation tests, and it was fructans, which is part of FODMAPs.
Heather MillsGUEST
So if anyone's really suffering, have a look at nobloat.com. There's free advice on there to help fix you so you don't have half your colon taken out with a stoma bag unnecessarily, which is what they wanted to do to me.
Heather MillsGUEST
And it was garlic and onion for me.
Felice JackaGUEST
And then what they do is they cut those out.
Felice JackaGUEST
They go onto these low FODMAP diets.
Felice JackaGUEST
And it's actually FODMAPs are the things that feed the bacteria in the gut.
Felice JackaGUEST
You want them to be able to – you want people to be able to consume them to feed their microbes.
Felice JackaGUEST
So this has been tested and it's also been confirmed that people, the less they eat of these high fibre FODMAP type foods, the less diverse their microbes and the more likely it is that they don't have the microbes that can break down fibre.
Abel JamesGUEST
As you've said and as we've talked about, there are so many different words for things that come up, right? Like paleo, primal, keto, carnivore, Weston A.
Abel JamesGUEST
Price, FODMAP diets, like it keeps going and it's infinite.
Abel JamesGUEST
But we do need something to rally around that isn't owned and isn't so easily manipulated.
Abel JamesGUEST
So words like sapien and words like wild hopefully evoke something that is a little bit harder to manipulate.
Ali VirtueHOST
And we're talking about like the targets of those things.
Ali VirtueHOST
How many calories, specific diets? Do we need to be on an elimination diet? Do we need to be on a low FODMAPs diet? Things like that.
Ali VirtueHOST
Those things are very specific to the person, their health condition, stuff like that.
Ali VirtueHOST
But these fundamentals at the bottom don't change.
Wendy Jo PetersonGUEST
It's funny just to kind of speak on this a little bit because Christina, when she first introduced herself and our agents kind of connected us, I was so excited because I I've always followed Kate Scarlatta.
Wendy Jo PetersonGUEST
She's kind of one of the leading dietitians in the United States tackling and always teaching about the low FODMAPs diet.
Wendy Jo PetersonGUEST
And I remember watching a lot of this come out, especially in social media, you know, people talking about it.
Wendy Jo PetersonGUEST
And the one thing that I kind of reflect on is that the food so often hits flat and And a lot of the recipes that I see, from a culinary perspective, I really wanted to make this diet be more friendly as well as palatable, but not just palatable, actually something, a recipe that you would say, okay.
6 MINS LATER
Wendy Jo PetersonGUEST
But then as you add in foods, people can follow a low FODMAP diet that actually is far more inclusive and can give you the right amount of fiber that you have.
Wendy Jo PetersonGUEST
Maybe not in the traditional sense of what we're thinking, but in the sense of there are green foods available.
Wendy Jo PetersonGUEST
so to speak, foods that actually are lower in FODMAPs that you can have.
Wendy Jo PetersonGUEST
And it can be like whether it's a canned item or like in pineapple's case, not canned.
Kirsten JacksonHOST
But in those with IBS, there is more gas being produced.
Kirsten JacksonHOST
Now with these FODMAPs, it's not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Kirsten JacksonHOST
Some people will react to specific ones, some people won't react to them.
Kirsten JacksonHOST
So it's very much a case of us trying to find out which ones cause you the reaction.
Kirsten JacksonHOST
But remember, the bloating is happening hours and hours and hours after you have consumed the food.
Kirsten JacksonHOST
So here's an interesting point around food diaries and why they're not particularly helpful all the time.
Kirsten JacksonHOST
With these FODMAPs, it can be to do with portions and stacking them as well.
Kirsten JacksonHOST
And what I mean by that is you may well tolerate two slices of bread and be absolutely fine.
Lindsey MathewsGUEST
But for most people, if you're just dealing with, you know, like bloating, constipation, that sort of thing, we do, we have a gut protocol that we do with clients.
Lindsey MathewsGUEST
And basically it consists of, you know, oftentimes we'll cut out high FODMAP foods because high FODMAP foods can be very disruptive to the gut.
Lindsey MathewsGUEST
And so we, it's not a forever thing.
Lindsey MathewsGUEST
We'll just cut them out and And then we'll use specific supplements that add back that good bacteria, like probiotics, prebiotics, to kind of rebalance that bacteria.
