About the recording
Irena Karas takes viewers through the three phases of a low FODMAP diet, from temporary restriction to food reintroduction and adjustment to individual tolerance. She also discusses how a food and symptom diary can inform the conversation.
Iva Jureković explains how stress and digestive symptoms can interact. Using examples from cognitive behavioural therapy, she discusses how psychological support can address people’s responses to symptoms. In the closing discussion, the speakers take audience questions, including one about the relationship between IBS and SIBO.
