S01E02 | Cracking the IBS code

It’s IBS awareness month and this episode is absolutely jam-packed with all things irritable bowel syndrome and then some! Wagdy and Sandra discuss both the up-to-date medical and lifestyle aspects of IBS where they take on a journey to understanding this chronic condition from both a gastroenterologist and dietitian’s point of view to learning how to manage and live with it. This episode starts off with two recent cases Wagdy has encountered in his clinic then goes into what actually is IBS to diagnosis then onto managing IBS via first and secondary approaches that include nutrition, lifestyle and medication. Sandra challenges her dad about diagnosing IBS (and was happy with his answer!), shares her uncensored journey with IBS and offers a snapshot of her 4-pillar approach when supporting her clients with IBS. Brace yourself for a ton of poo talk and Sandra’s constant quest on simplifying Wagdy’s use of “big words”.
