Fixing my IBS

[s2k_modern_classic]

I saw a few IBS threads on here in the past. Been furloughed got some time on my hands decided enough is enough and going to fix my IBS. (after not that much help from my GP last 10 years)

I see some people are saying fodmap changed my life, so that looks interesting. Could probably manage a dietary change right now

But then I see other mention of Hypnotherapy and CBT. Anyone had any experience of these?

Friend of mine suffered terribly with anxiety and depression. Says Headspace or Mind were amazing for his condition. Are there any Apps to help get on top of your IBS?

Awesome - that is a huge help. So can I just look at fodmap stuff online and figure it out? My wife seems to think she can adapt a few recipes. Or is it worth some dietitian support to help with my IBS issues?

[quote=sbarclay62]Diet for me.

Perhaps the spicey food is the Onion that makes up most of curry or Mexican food? Sounds like fodmap diet would be the winner and then I guess the egg thing is a separate intolerance

Sounds like fodmap is the thing to do, thanks for all the input everyone.

I found an App i like, Tummi FODMAP. Got started yesterday and it coaches you through fodmap and makes you do the thing when you reintroduce the foods later on.

It also tracks stress levels, so I can look at that also. Gonna give this a good try and see if I'm in good shape 6 weeks from now - if anytime was the time that is it. Got to be some benefit on being furloughed!
