“I have been suffering from IBS symptoms for 2 years… I had severe flare-ups, my stomach was bloated like I'm pregnant at 3 months. I had severe constipation & abdominal pains.⁠
⁠
Jessie has truly changed my life… Working with Jessie made me understand that IBS isn't just what we eat but it's also how relaxed we are, how did we sleep through the night, exercise, if we drink enough, how much fiber does our body receive from the food we eat, how much do we eat & how fast. I have learned how to manage my symptoms & more important I know my body a lot better. I can eat things that I couldn't eat before because I was afraid of every meal & how it could affect me.⁠
⁠
I truly can say from the deep of my heart that the day I followed Jessie on Instagram & a few months later I trusted her and the program were the best decisions I could ever take regarding treating my IBS.” -Karin⁠

5️⃣ Things to Know about the low FODMAP diet for IBS relief: SHARE and SAVE this post.
⁠
👉 IBSdietitian.com/resources to get access to my FREE FODMAP Guide 📝
⁠
1️⃣ What are FODMAPs❓
⁠
FODMAPs are a group of fermentable carbohydrates that our body doesn't digest, therefore, our gut microbes ferment them, causing gas and attracting water to the intestines.

The movement of water and gas can cause pain and bloat in people with IBS.⁠

2️⃣ What is the FODMAP protocol 🍎

The quick overview ⬇️⁠
1. Restrict FODMAP for 2-6 weeks⁠
2. ⁠Reintroduce systematically group by group⁠
3. Personalized long-term diet based on your tolerance level after reintroduction.

3️⃣ Temporarily removing brings gut symptoms down to baseline and we can use this time to dig deep into the underlying root cause to your 💯

4️⃣ Cautions ⚠️

• Know what are FODMAPs, check ingredients in products
• Reintroduce in a timely manner⁠
• Consequences of long-term restriction - ⁠Newer research suggests that eliminating FODMAPs for longer than 8 weeks can cause changes in gut microbiome, making you more sensitive to FODMAPs
⁠
5️⃣ Use these tools to help you navigate during low FODMAP phase:
Monash FODMAP app
Spoonful app

My free low FODMAP guide, so you can see everything you can eat in one place 👉 IBSdietitian.com/resources
⁠
⛔️ This diet is not suitable for everyone. Always consult a dietitian before starting this diet to make sure it is suitable for you. ⁠And know going in that you may ALSO need to look at lifestyle & stress triggers.

My client, Ja-Shin, tried tackling the elimination diet on her own but didn’t FULLY find relief and the root cause of her symptoms until we worked together to implement all THREE steps of my Freedom Approach… 1. Identify your food triggers, 2. Optimize your gut health, and 3. Shift your lifestyle.

Just smelling won’t trigger , right? 🥴⁠
⁠
isn’t just about food. Stress, sleep, hydration, hormones, and movement all play a role in how your gut feels. That’s what my client Karin discovered after years of constipation, pain, and being told to “just cut out more foods.”

💭 “Working with Jessie made me understand that IBS isn’t just what we eat — it’s also how relaxed we are, how we sleep, exercise, and hydrate. Now I know my body better, I’ve reintroduced foods I used to fear, and I finally feel in control.” – Karin

And she’s not alone. Many clients come to me after years of feeling dismissed by providers and isolated from friends and family. As Elveena shared:

💭 “I loved the weekly group meetings… when you work with others, it’s encouraging because you realize you’re not alone. You learn from others and feel motivated at 100%.” – Elveena

✨ That’s exactly why I created the IBS Freedom Group Program — so you don’t have to keep guessing, restricting, or struggling alone.

Working directly with us (through two private sessions with me, weekly group coaching calls, and weekly food, p**p, and symptom review), we’ll:

1. IDENTIFY YOUR FOOD TRIGGERS

3. SHIFT YOUR LIFESTYLE

To help you identify your specific , learn how to manage your symptoms, and get relief from IBS - NOW 🙏

So you no longer have to…

❌ worry about finding a bathroom anywhere you go (and instead can take more trips and make more plans with your loved ones 👪)

❌ deal with painful after eating (and instead spend more time enjoying your favorite foods again 🍔)

❌ spend time at endless doctor appointments or spend more money on expensive and ineffective supplements (and instead feel CONFIDENT you know what works to keep you feeling good 🙌)

Here’s what Kinzie, a client said about the IBS Freedom Group Program 💭❤️

“My major complaint was . I was so afraid to eat any food because I would be in the bathroom immediately afterward.

I was afraid to go on car rides longer than 10 minutes for fear that I would have to go to the bathroom (because it did happen more than once).

I struggled with bloating as well.

I saw a GI doctor and went through many testing and a colonoscopy with no solutions.

I tried probiotics and Benefiber for months...

Nothing was making it better and I had eliminated over 50% of my diet/the foods I ate just purely out of fear.

Jessie was a godsend! …I have not had diarrhea in months since working with Jessie! I now drive an hour to work every day and have no fear of having to stop on my way to go to the bathroom. I do not have much fear of food anymore, and I have most of my bloating under control! Jessie gave me my life back…

Just do it!! You will feel so much better and you will get so much freedom in life through her program!” -Kenzie

Cutting out food for is no fun, especially when most people are cutting out foods they can actually tolerate.

One day it’s , the next it’s or urgency, and even your “safe foods” can trigger pain. 😣 It’s no wonder so many people feel out of control.

In this week’s episode of the IBS Nutrition Podcast, I break down:
1️⃣ Why most people are stuck guessing at their (and why cutting out random foods never works long-term)
2️⃣ Why food isn’t always the problem — your bowel habits, , motility, stress, and lifestyle often play just as big of a role
3️⃣ How a clear, structured plan (with tracking + guided reintroduction) can finally give you clarity and confidence instead of food fear

You’ll also hear real client stories of women who went from:
🚫 Avoiding restaurants and travel out of fear

Constipated? 💩 You’re going to want to READ ON...

Many people I work with tell me their biggest struggle is having consistent 💩 daily. Often they spend hours in the bathroom, can't fully empty & get very . ⁠

Can you relate?⁠

Having a productive daily 💩 can resolve a lot of for many. Especially IBS-C & IBS-M type, or IBS-D that is actually caused by constipation (overflow )⁠
⁠
Here are some daily tips that can help:

🍳 Good breakfast. Food in our stomach in the AM generates gastrocolic reflex that stimulates our colon to move & get food out of our system⁠
⁠
☕️ Coffee contains chlorogenic acid that helps stimulates colonic movement to excrete stool⁠
⁠
💦 Hydration is probably one of the most important things when it comes to having a daily BM. Do you know our colon absorbs water from our stool to make it solid? When our body is dehydrated, the colon will try to absorb more water from the stool, making it dry & harder to pass. ⁠

🍎 Fiber has the ability to retain water and soften our stool! If you worry about the bloat, start by adding fiber first 🍊🍌🍇🍓🥝🍍 ⁠
⁠
🏃🏻‍♀️ Joyful movement. Moving the body really helps things move in our gut too. Doesn't need to be strenuous, but consistent gentle exercise would do⁠

🚽 Squatting relaxes your puborectalis muscle more & straightens out your colon, giving the p**p a straight route out. As a result, you can go more easily with less straining.⁠
⁠
But here’s the thing: constipation and bloat are rarely solved by tips alone. They’re often part of a bigger pattern that needs a step-by-step process.

⭐ My client Margaret discovered this firsthand:
“I thought I was ‘regular’ because I had a daily BM… but I still had bloating and discomfort. Jessie showed me that constipation isn’t just about frequency. Once I improved my stool patterns, my bloating disappeared and I finally felt normal again.” – Margaret

✨ The IBS Freedom Group Program is now enrolling just 2 spots left in our spring 2026 cohort. This is where we help you uncover whether constipation, overflow diarrhea, or food triggers are at the root of your symptoms… and put a plan in place to stop guessing.

‘You are what you eat’ → OR you are what you eat, how you move, how much water you drink, how stressed you are… the list goes on, amirite?

Truth is: MANY things may affect your .

For my husband and me, sleep and stress affected our symptoms even MORE than the food we were eating.

Once we identified our triggers — both food AND lifestyle-related — we were finally able to find freedom and relief 🙏

This is true for my clients, too. Finding relief from is NOT just about what you eat (or don’t eat). It’s also about your lifestyle, your , and much more.

That’s why I created the IBS Freedom Group Program — a proven 3-step process to help you identify your unique triggers and finally take your life back from IBS 🙌

Here’s what Karin shared about her experience 💭❤️

“I have been suffering from IBS symptoms for 2 years… I had severe flareups, my stomach was bloated like I was 3 months pregnant. I had severe constipation and abdominal pains.

I tried going to a gastro, and a naturopath who told me to cut out FODMAP, gluten, and dairy. After working with Jessie, I realized the only one who can really help is an !

Jessie has truly changed my life. I learned that IBS isn’t just about what we eat — it’s also sleep, stress, exercise, hydration, fiber, and how we eat. I now understand my body better, and I can eat foods I was once afraid of.

The day I followed Jessie on Instagram and joined the program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my IBS.” – Karin
