How Should I Monitor My Digestion Symptoms?
Your dietitian will request that you complete a Food Symptom Journal for a minimum of two to three days before your initial appointment.
It is important to avoid changing your diet and also to provide details for the type of foods consumed, portions and corresponding digestive symptoms. Then, your dietitian will review background medical/health history as well as your food intake and related symptoms in order to come up with an action plan to get started!
How Common is IBS?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) impacts an estimated 1 in 7 people. Most develop IBS symptoms before they’re 40 and many have symptoms begin during childhood or young adulthood.
However, diet and lifestyle changes CAN help to improve uncomfortable symptoms.
