24.01.2022 Feel like you are missing out on fruit while following a low FODMAPs diet? Many fruits are high in FODMAPs, so need to be avoided whilst following the elimination phase of a low FODMAPs diet for IBS. However, there are still many fruits that you can enjoy during this time! Some favourites include; strawberries, blueberries, grapes, pineapple, kiwi fruit and oranges! Aim for 2 serves of fruit per day, and include as much variety as possible!

24.01.2022 What is the best thing we can do to improve our gut health?! The number one thing we can do to improve our gut health is to consume a wide variety of plant foods! Think fruits, vegetables, nuts/seeds, legumes and wholegrains. Consuming a wide variety of these foods ensures that our gut is receiving a variety of fibres (which provide a range of health benefits). This leads to a large variety (and abundance) of bacteria living within our gut which is exactly what we ...want for good gut health! It is recommended that we aim to consume around 30 different plant foods a week! This may sound like a lot, but if you were to have mixed roast vegetables with your dinner, or make a salad with a variety of vegetables/grains and some added nuts/seeds on top, you could easily include at least 5+ different types just within one meal for the day! Obviously any intake of these plant foods is great but the key is variety, so try to not eat the same things every day. Try keeping a list on the fridge and challenge yourself to see how many different types of plant foods you can consume across the week!

23.01.2022 What is FODMAP stacking? And should you be worried about it whilst following a low FODMAPs diet?

22.01.2022 Looking for natural remedies to assist with your constipation?? Evidence suggests that regular consumption of kiwi fruit can assist in relieving constipation in those with IBS! This may seem a little random - why kiwi fruits specifically you may be asking?? It is thought that the fibre within kiwi fruits may have a higher water holding capacity (compared to other fruits); this helps to bring water in to your bowels making your stool softer and easier to pass! It is also t...hought that a certain enzyme within kiwi fruits (known as actinase) may increase movement in your bowels assisting in relieving constipation. Ways to add more kiwi into your diet grab a kiwi (or two) as a snack, chop up kiwi fruit into a fruit salad, add a kiwi fruit to your smoothie, chop up kiwi and add to your cereal in the morning If you are experiencing constipation, aim to eat 2 kiwi fruits per day and see if this helps! (If you can, try eating the skin as well for extra fibre)

21.01.2022 Everyone talks about all these fantastic fermented foods like kombucha, kefir and sauerkraut but did you know that we ferment certain foods in our gut too....? Fermentation by your gut bacteria is a really important process, as it creates lots of important byproducts that can fuel the cells in your gut. However, for many people with IBS the extra gas produced can cause tummy troubles. .

21.01.2022 Did you know that a low FODMAPs diet should NOT be followed long term?? There is a common misconception that a low FODMAPs diet is designed to be followed strictly and long term to achieve symptom improvement in IBS (this is problematic for a number of reasons!) A low FODMAPs diet is a therapeutic investigative diet, used to identify personal food triggers in those with IBS. There are three main phases to the diet, and it is important to move through all three phases ... 1 Elimination/low FODMAP phase; FODMAPs in the diet are reduced (choosing suitable low FODMAP foods in place of high FODMAP foods). The low FODMAP phase is followed for ~3-4 weeks, assessing symptom improvement. 2 Reintroduction/challenge phase; each FODMAP group is challenged to determine personal triggers. Background diet remains low in FODMAPs. 3 Personalisation phase; reintroduction of tolerated FODMAPs, determining personal threshold to trigger foods, establishing long term personalised diet according to triggers/tolerance levels. If you would like some more information or help to navigate through the low FODMAPs diet - please get in contact with us! - [email protected]

20.01.2022 Are you following a low FODMAPs diet and really missing the flavour of garlic in your cooking? The oil brand Cobram Estate have a GARLIC INFUSED olive oil that has the tick of approval to be included in a low FODMAPS diet yay! Try drizzling it over vegetables before roasting, using in marinades, adding to salad dressings or simply using it in the fry pan when cooking! ... If you are already using their garlic infused olive oil, let us know your favourite ways to use it in your cooking!

17.01.2022 In today's video I talk through some of the research behind the low FODMAPs diet for IBS, and where the idea originally came from!

17.01.2022 Newtown Nutrition welcomes Amy Minogue, a FODMAPs Certified dietitian to our team. What is a FODMAPs Certified Dietitian? The low FODMAPs diet, is a diet used to help reduce gut symptoms in people with IBS , and it has been shown that 3 out of 4 people with IBS find their symptoms will improve on a low FODMAPs diet . The low FODMAPs diet was created by a team of researchers at Monash University around 10 years ago now, and their research in the area of FODMAPs and ...IBS still continues today. Although awareness and knowledge of the low FODMAPs diet has increased considerably over the past decade, so too has the misinformation and confusion around it. Because of this, the team of researchers at Monash have created an accredited course that dietitians can complete to ensure that they get trained by the experts! Image: pxhere See more

13.01.2022 Confused about FODMAPs and wondering if you should be eating them or not? In this weeks video I talk about what FODMAPs actually are, if we should be eating them or not, and why they can cause issues for those with IBS!

12.01.2022 Did you know that a low FODMAPs diet should NOT be followed long term? There is a common misconception that a low FODMAPs diet is designed to be followed strictly and long term to achieve symptom improvement in IBS - this is problematic for a number of reasons! In this video I explain the 3 phases of the low FODMAPs and why each is phase is important!

12.01.2022 A low FODMAP diet can be a very effective investigative diet to reduce symptoms in those with IBS. However, we know that the FODMAPs play an important role in keeping our gut microbiome healthy! So what impact does eliminating these FODMAP containing foods have on our gut microbiome? And what can we do to keep our gut healthy while following a low FODMAP diet?

09.01.2022 Did you know that following a low FODMAPs diet can change the balance of your gut bacteria? There are 100s of different species of bacteria in your gut, some are 'beneficial' and some are 'pathogenic'. Some of the FODMAPs (fructans and GOS) are classified as prebiotic fibres , meaning they act as food within our gut to feed the good types of bacteria which is great! But when we take these prebiotic fibres out on a low FODMAPs diet, research indicates that even ju...st within the first 2-6 week elimination period of the diet, changes within the microbiome (in terms of the numbers and types of beneficial bacteria) can start to be seen. So, its really important that whilst we are following a low FODMAPs diet we know which types of foods we can (and should) include to make sure we are still giving our good bacteria the food that it needs. This is where having the help of a dietitian can be really important and useful to ensure you give yourself the best chance of seeing great results with the diet. [Image: Pixabay] See more

09.01.2022 Hands up if you love a holiday to the tropics? What's not to love about some fun in the sun , and parties on the beach . As well as a camera full of Instagram fodder , and a backpack full of sarongs and cheap t-shirts , one of the most common things to bring back home is 'Bali Belly' . For many people a gastro-bug on holidays is short-lived, but for too many others they are left with a reminder of their holiday (that they'd rather do without!) when their tu...mmy troubles just never seem to go away . Many of the clients that we see for IBS had no gut problems until they had a Gastro bug, and their symptoms just never went away. Our dietitian Amy tells her story of 'Bali Belly' turned IBS in her latest post on Restore your Gut blog [Image: freepik.com] See more

09.01.2022 Do you put off going on holidays as you are worried about how your gut will cope? No-one wants to spend their relaxing time away hiding away in the loo (even if it has a great view!)

07.01.2022 What are resistant starches?? . Starches are found in our diet within carbohydrate based foods. Most of the starches we consume are digested and absorbed to be used for energy However some starches move through our digestive tracts undigested; these starches are called resistant starches as they are resistant to digestion. . As they are unable to be absorbed and used for energy, resistant starches behave more like a soluble fibre in our digestive tract. When they reac...h the large intestine, they are fermented by the bacteria that live there providing fuel to keep your gut healthy! . One cool way of adding some resistant starches to your diet is by consuming cooked then cooled potatoes and rice. The process of cooking and cooling the potatoes and rice, changes the structure of the starch from one that is digestible, to one that resists digestion (therefore becoming a resistant starch) The food can be heated again after the initial cooling this wont affect the starch further. . Some good ways to include this in your diet can be by: 1 Simply eating leftover potato/rice from the night before, meal prepping in advance - so that the initial cooking/cooling is done and then reheated when eaten 2Having cold rice/potato salads - especially good with the warmer weather arriving! . Some other great sources of resistant starch include; legumes (e.g. chickpeas and lentils), firm/unripe bananas (or green banana flour), and raw rolled oats (make overnight oats by soaking oats in milk overnight and topping with your favourite fruit/yoghurt in the morning).

03.01.2022 What are FODMAPs? So many are familiar with the term 'Low FODMAP Diet' but most get confused with what that funny word actually means. FODMAPs are simply different types of sugars (Saccharides are sugars ) and fibres and are found in many of our whole foods . They're often poorly broken down in our digestive systems get fermented by our gut bacteria. For those of us with a sensitive gut, they can cause us grief if we eat more than we tolerate . The goal of a low FOD...MAPs diet is to work out WHICH one/s of these FODMAPs may be affecting YOUR gut. Do you know which FODMAPs are triggering your gut symptoms?
