🧑🏼‍⚕️There is a time and a place to consider when my diarrhea-predominant patient has a legitimate food intolerance.

🖐🏼✌🏼Here are just 7 food related issues that are possible.

🧠 In my practice, I use gut-directed hypnotherapy FIRST to help my patients understand exactly how much food intolerance noise simply disappears after they dedicate 6 weeks to rewiring their gut-brain connection…

🕵️ What is leftover helps me tease out potential food intolerances, illnesses, etc that may be worth the time and effort to take a closer look at.

🪄 There it is folks...My secret game changer that can help you avoid restrictive diet trial after restrictive diet trial (like I unfortunately fell into the trap of after getting caught off-guard by random diarrhea all too often despite a strict Low FODMAP diet, enzymes, and multiple courses of Rifaximin and other meds/medical appliances.

⛰️ And I’ll die on that hill until the day I stop practicing in the digestive health space (which will probably be never).

I changed my Bio to say and

It describes two things I’m deeply invested in.

Here are the three pups that we fostered, including one

Roger, from Sandy Bay Manitoba, is now almost 5 months old, 40+ lbs and is the new love of our lives.

We also had Riley and Cooper- now in their forever homes.

Check out Endless Pawsabilities Rescue and consider fostering.

Lots of pups flown into YVR every week who need a temporary (or in our case, a forever) home.

Share any doggo pics and their names in the comments too please! 🐾

👇🏼 Tell me: what’s one food/meal you never thought you’d be able to tolerate again with your IBS or diarrhea (but now can tolerate).

Or, if you’re still in the thick of it- what’s one food you would like to eat, but might need help tolerating better?

Maybe we can all help each other.

👋🏼 I’ll just be over here, pestering your GI’s office to fax me your scope’s corresponding histology report to ensure I’m seeing you’ve had random biopsies taken from several parts of your colon to rule out microscopic colitis as an explanation of your ongoing diarrhea.

Other GI-focused RDs: I know you feel me 😉

Prospective patients: Never stop advocating for yourself.

Diarrhea ALWAYS has a reason.

Happy Friday ✌️

📢 Say it with me now:

AKA: Diarrhea Always Has A Reason!

🙂‍↔️ It’s not “just how your body is”- even if you’ve had a fast gut for decades.

🙂‍↔️ If you tried low FODMAP and it didn’t help (or it stopped reliably helping) a good practitioner will look at other possible causes.

🙂‍↔️ If you’ve not been tested since your diarrhea started, or it’s been awhile since you’ve seen a Dr/NP (or if you are unsure what sorts of tests to discuss with your healthcare provider) check out my free checklist to help guide this discussion.

Diarrhea always has a fricken reason, and if your quality of life is being affected, that means something to me.

💭If I know you like I think I do, fellow diarrhea warrior, you’ve probably wondered this:

⁉️ How is it that we can solve so many complex problems in this world, but still no one has figured out the ONE drug, one therapy, one supplement, one probiotic, or one diet that has been shown to resolve IBS Diarrhea for 100% of patients diagnosed with the condition.

The answer is simple:

🗝️ People with diarrhea, bloating and abdominal pain diagnosed with IBS-D (and all the tests keep coming back negative) often have layers that need to be uncovered.

💨 Some layers are IBS-D related because the gut’s default speed is way too fast…

🎭 And some layers have nothing to do with IBS Diarrhea at all (these are referred to as IBS-D Masqueraders”) because it’s the IBS subtype that is often the most misdiagnosed.

…like my patient A found out last week- it was Sucrase Isomaltase Deficiency all along- suffering with unexplained diarrhea since she was a teenager!

🍭 FYI That’s the inability to digest sucrose, AKA regular table sugar that’s also found in foods like carrots.

🥴 Some layers also cause other layers.

🪣 If you’re ready to pop out of the “IBS Diarrhea bucket” that you were plunked in (without much in the way of testing you might have felt) and need an advocate to help you decode your diarrhea…

…with as few diet restrictions as possible…

📱 Then book a free call with me to see if you are a fit for my 1:1 private nutrition counseling program Diarrhea Decoded.

PS: The next opening for Diarrhea Decoded after the summer intake period won’t be until September 2026.

Let’s make this the first summer you aren’t struggling with random diarrhea flare-ups, shall we?

I hope to talk to you soon.

always has a reason!

💛 If you have IBS-D, I bet you know this feeling all too well.

It can get better.

I’m living proof, and so are my Diarrhea Decoded patients.

Let’s make chicken, rice and carrots a choice; but not the only choice, shall we?

Unfortunately digestive health is amongst the healthcare services that are not equally distributed amongst everyone.

The reality is, people who are:

- White
- Cis-gender male
- Young
- Thin
- Living in urban cities

have better access to health care services.

This may not always be the intention of our healthcare system, but it is real.

I see it too often.

Let’s keep talking about this, shall we?
