Your Guide to Relief from IBS Symptoms
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects around 10-15% of people worldwide, often triggering symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits for millions of people. 1 If you’re experiencing these symptoms, you’re not alone and there are proven strategies that can help.
One of the most well-researched approaches is the low FODMAP diet, developed by a team of dietitians from Monash University, including Dr. Sue Shepherd, co-founder of FODMAP Friendly. 2 3 This diet works by temporarily reducing specific types of carbohydrates (FODMAPs) that can trigger symptoms in people with IBS. However, it’s not the only path to relief. Other effective management options include stress reduction techniques, medications or supplements and alternative dietary adjustments. 4 5 You can learn more about these on our Understanding IBS page.
We know how overwhelming it can be to manage IBS, so our goal is to take the guesswork out of the process by providing free, clear, and practical tools to support your gut health journey. That said, the low FODMAP diet is recommended to be followed with the guidance of a FODMAP-trained dietitian 2 6 To help, our app includes a directory of qualified practitioners who can support you every step of the way.
