83// The IBS-Fibromyalgia Connection: How to See Invisible Pain and Heal Your Body

According to research done by UCLA, up to 60% of patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) also have Fibromyalgia, and up to 70% of patients with Fibromyalgia have IBS. Having struggled with IBS myself, I remember in my worst years wondering if I ALSO had Fibromyalgia. Brain fog. Fatigue. Chronic pain. Stiffness. Depression. I had it all.Over my years working with clients with IBS or other gut health problems, I've also seen an increasing number of my IBS clients who  have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia - or have Fibromyalgia-like symptoms. As I worked more with these clients and took extra courses in functional medicine, I was surprised to learn that there IS a link between Fibromyalgia AND IBS. The amazing part of this news?The link between Fibro and IBS is part of the answer to healing both of them. At the same time. On today's episode, I cover the two invisible (but findable!) sources of pain, brain fog, and fatigue in both Fibromyalgia AND IBS.On this episode, you'll learn:How to test for these invisible sources of painHow they got in your body in the first placeAnd steps you can take to get them outI hope you're ready - because this episode is about to blow your mind!Other episodes mentioned in this episode:Episode 76// Heal Your Fibromyalgia - Client Testimonial with my client SharonOther links from the show:Join the Foundations Program Waitlist!Connect with us on social media!Facebook: @betterbellytherapiesInstagram: @betterbellytherapiesWebsite: betterbellytherapies.comThis episode was first published at  BetterBellyTherapies.com/podcast/85 Now - May 29, 2024:WIN A FULL SCHOLARSHIP + $2OO OFF CODE:Get a $200 Off Code for the Better Belly Blueprint when you submit a screenshot of a podcast review.
