Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions — IBS & Gut Health
What is IBS and what causes it?
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a common digestive condition that affects how the gut functions. It’s often triggered by a combination of gut-brain communication issues, stress, hormonal changes, and food sensitivities — not just diet alone.
Can IBS be cured naturally?
While there’s no single “cure” for IBS, symptoms can often be significantly reduced or eliminated through natural approaches like gut-brain regulation, lifestyle changes, targeted nutrition, and personalised coaching.
How can I calm my gut fast during a flare-up?
Gentle breathing, warm compresses, slowing down eating, and grounding techniques can help calm the gut-brain axis. Identifying your personal triggers is key to reducing flare-ups long term.
What foods are best for IBS relief?
There isn’t one perfect IBS diet, but many people benefit from gentle, low-irritant foods that are easy to digest. Finding your personal tolerance is more effective than strict elimination lists.
What’s the difference between IBS and food intolerance?
IBS affects how your gut functions, while food intolerance involves specific reactions to certain foods. Many people experience both, so a tailored approach works best.
Does stress make IBS worse?
Yes. Stress can trigger and intensify IBS symptoms by affecting gut motility and sensitivity. That’s why managing the gut-brain connection is just as important as food choices.
What is the fastest way to reduce bloating naturally?
Gentle movement, mindful breathing, hydration, and identifying trigger foods can ease bloating. Long-term relief comes from balancing digestion and calming the nervous system.
How long does it take to reset your gut?
Many people start to notice improvement in their gut within a few weeks when following a structured gut health plan. Everyone’s timeline is different — but clear steps lead to consistent progress.
Do I need to follow a strict diet to fix my IBS?
Restrictive diets can offer short-term relief but aren’t sustainable. A personalised approach focused on your triggers, gut-brain regulation, and lifestyle usually delivers better results.
Can IBS be managed without medication?
Yes. Many people manage IBS symptoms naturally through targeted coaching, nervous system regulation, nutrition, and lifestyle changes — often reducing or avoiding the need for medication.
