404: Exploring the links between nutrition and Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects more than one-in-twenty people worldwide. It occurs in populations all over the planet and it can be debilitating. But what role can food, diet, and nutrition play in managing IBS flare ups? The causes of IBS are not currently well understood, which makes managing it very difficult for sufferers. There is a lot of research underway into the role diet and nutrition can play in managing the condition though. So, in this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, we look in detail at which foods might cause flare-ups, the foods you should eat and those you should avoid, and we look at nutrition and lifestyle strategies for dealing with IBS.
