New research shows that a long-term low FODMAP diet can be used effectively for IBS. This is huge as there have been many theoretical concerns about using a low FODMAP diet long-term, such as negative impacts to the gut microbiota, nutrition levels, and quality of life. 

However, we’ll cover each common criticism and answer them with science. 

And if you have any additional questions about low FODMAP that you would like answered in the future, let me know in the comments!

There’s a common misconception that you shouldn’t take probiotics for SIBO.  

Where this comes from is the thought that adding bacteria to a bacterial overgrowth must be a bad idea.  

But this overlooks how probiotics actually work AND the plethora of data we have on probiotics for SIBO. 

So let’s dive in to see what all the data actually means.

If your gut health isn't where you want it to be, today's Q&A will likely be of use to you. 

I'll be covering some great question submissions like: 

-I’ve tried water, prunes, and fiber, and nothing works for my constipation. What should I do? 

-My bloating and constipation are slowly getting better with your protocol, but are not resolved. What else can I do? 

-I have eczema, rosacea, and loose stool. I was wondering if my skin symptoms could be caused by a gut imbalance? 

To hear answers to these questions and more, please join me.
