I'm so pleased to be able to share this episode with you. I'm speaking with Kate Scarlata, an amazing dietitian who has extensive experience supporting people who struggle with gastrointestinal disorders and food intolerance. Of special interest to Kate is how the low FODMAP diet can be used to help heal functional gut disorders. In addition to her various degrees -- MPH, RDN, LDN -- Kate was also awarded the Outstanding Massachusetts Dietitian Award and recognized as Boston's Best Dietitian by Boston Magazine. Kate is also the author of numerous books and articles on digestive health topics including the New York Times Best Seller, The 21 Day Tummy Diet. Her latest book is The Low FODMAP Diet Step by Step. There are some really important takeaways from my conversation with Kate, specifically: Poor GI health can be disruptive to one's professional and personal life; so many people struggle in silence, so it's important to talk about these issues Diet for gut health is not one size fits all, so the nutritional approach and treatment for gut symptoms that you follow needs to be personalized The FODMAP approach to diet can help people with IBS with GI issues Because the gut and the brain are connected, if you're stressed about your diet, you'll exacerbate your GI issues Healthy living is feeling peace in your heart and mind Want to connect with Kate to learn more about the work she does, specifically as it relates to gut health and FODMAPs?

A diagnosis of IBS can be a real pain in the a**! Seriously, IBS impacts 25-45 million people in the U.S. alone. The treatments for IBS aren’t really that great. The low FODMAP protocol may not even work in about half the people who try them. Worse, if you dare consult “Dr. Google” you’ll find there is conflicting and extreme advice out there that can really throw you off mentally. Today’s guest, bestselling author and gut health dietitian Kate Scarlata, explains why you shouldn’t rely on random food elimination for your IBS and she shares what to do instead. Here’s a few items we cover: The links between IBS and anxiety. The fundamentals of the low FODMAPs diet as a treatment approach for IBS, and the reality that it may not work in about half the people who try it. Why “FODMAP Gentle” is a more flexible approach that can be better for people with anxiety and concerns about possible food-related IBS symptoms. Disordered eating and IBS connections. Did you know 23-24% of people with GI conditions meet criteria for disordered eating patterns? 13-19% of people in GI clinics meet criteria for ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) Gut directed hypnotherapy, mindfulness, meditation, and other approaches that can enhance anxiety relief and make IBS symptoms better.

Everyone has it. Nobody wants to talk about it. Gas can be a normal by-product of digestion, but not always. Today's episode discusses why. In this episode, I'm joined again by friend and fellow registered dietitian, Kate Scarlata -- one of the nation's leading experts on all things gut health. In this show, we discuss: What's normal and what's not when it comes to gas Why we have gas in the first place Why having gas can actually be a good sign of things happening in our digestive system When "more gas" might mean a trip to your healthcare provider is in order How excess protein consumption can cause an increase in gas and cause gas to become more smelly How eating too much protein may be associated with a more pathogenic and pro-inflammatory microbiome Why eating certain fibers with protein may actually reduce these negative effects What causes painful gas How a high-fat diet may actually make trapped gas worse Steps to take to alleviate painful, trapped gas The role plant-based food and fiber play in the production of gas Tips to increase fiber consumption without negative effects Lastly, we debunk the myth that flying actually *causes* more gas. I end the show with a brief discussion about the book I'm reading right now -- The 5 Love Languages -- an older read, but one that I'm finding very helpful. I also preview my thoughts on the new binge-worthy show from Apple TV -- The Morning Show -- and discuss whether or not I think it should make my "If I had a VCR I'd tape this" list.

But what, if any, benefit do these products really provide? Today’s show features frequent podcast guest and gut health expert, Kate Scarlata.

The Low Fodmap Diet is the most researched diet for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and is estimated to help alleviate symptoms in upwards of 40-70% of IBS patients. Not many people know more about the low fodmap diet then our guest Kate Scarlata, MPH, RDN. FODMAP is an acronym that defines foods that are composed of Fermentable Oligosaccharides (fructans and galacto oligosaccharides), Disaccharide (lactose), Monosaccharides (Fructose) AND Polyols (sugar alcohols). These carbohydrates are small chained carbohydrates that many people with IBS and related digestive disorders have a difficult time tolerating these carbohdrates and may develop symptoms of bloating, pain, constipation, or diarrhea, or a mixture of these symptoms. We dive deeply into the Low Fodmap Diet and also into other advanced conditions that mimic IBS and must be considered if you are not responding to the Low Fodmap Diet. I have show notes on my blog at this link. Now more about our guest. Kate Scarlata, MPH, RDN, LDN is a registered, licensed dietitian with a nutrition consultation business in Medway, Massachusetts.

Poop. We all do it. We all know what it is. But what does YOUR poop actually say about your overall health and well-being? Today's episode unapologetically answers all those questions about your daily (or not?) visit to the bathroom you've been too afraid to ask. Featuring New York Times best-selling author* and registered dietitian Kate Scarlata, we're discussing the number one things you need to know about number two. In the show we discuss: Why poop is an overall indicator of health What is "normal" poop Why both constipation and diarrhea have health implications, beyond simply the discomfort Where people should turn if they have concerns about the quality of their bowel movements What are the various fiber sources that can both help (or hurt) digestion, including Metamucil and chicory root (inulin) The balance between feeding probiotic bacteria with prebiotic fibers just what they need or so much that it causes you discomfort The real facts behind fecal transplants and who they're most effective for What you need to know about the colors of poop To close out our interview, Kate discusses her new book devoted to the low-FODMAP diet and previews her new "I believe in your story" campaign, which not only raises awareness of the issues around irritable bowel syndrome but also aims to raise funds for IBS research. To wrap up the show, I offer up two new shows I'm interested in on Netflix and ask for audience input on whether or not they would make the list for my "If I had a VCR I'd tape this" segment.

We’ve all experienced some telling signs that our gut is connected to our mood. Think butterflies in your stomach before a big presentation, that last minute urge to pee before going on stage. And if you’re someone with SIBO or other digestive issues, you might be dealing with some of the other downwind symptoms that occur when we let our anxiety get out of control. On today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Megan Riehl, a GI psychologist (yes, it’s a thing) who specializes in tactical approaches to relieving visceral hypersensitivity, food fears, and anxiety related to our gut. We talk about how anxiety around your meals or symptoms can become a self-fulfilling IBS prophecy, and explore a really powerful data-backed approach: hypnosis for anxiety, IBS, and other digestive issues. If you’re someone who’s prone to both anxiety and gut issues, this conversation is a must-listen. Also, I have a BIG announcement about a secret project I’ve been working on all spring and ways for you to get involved. Don’t miss it. A quick taste of what we’ll cover: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and how it helps with anxiety and gut issues Breathing exercises to dial down our body tension Gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS, IBD, GERD and other issues Why people get visceral hypersensitivity from nerve endings Why you should see a GI doctor in addition to a therapist, and vice versa Cognitive restructuring around food fear and anxiety How to tell the difference between SIBO-induced food fear and disordered eating Strategies for approaching a meal when you have food anxiety Resources, mentions and notes: Where to find Dr. Megan Riehl North Carolina protocol for hypnotherapy Kate Scarlata episode on SIBO diets Amy Shah episode on meal spacing Become a recipe tester for the SIBO Made Simple BOOK!!

In the studio today, Whitney is talking to an IBS, FODMAPs, Boston-based dietician, Kate Scarlata. Part of respecting your body is paying heed to any conditions that you may have and focus on health at every size instead of just being anti-diet. There are a plethora of medical professionals who will prescribe restrictive diets to manage gastrointestinal disorders when it should be looked at from a holistic viewpoint. Many people struggle with IBS and gastrointestinal problems, so hopefully this episode can help clarify different aspects of these problems and help avoid any misunderstandings. Remember, food is never the only answer! Whitney shares: Huge misconceptions about the “health at every size” concept Kate’s story Is the FODMAP diet appropriate for everyone with IBS? Kate’s message to dieticians in regard to their bias Recommendations for those who have food eating disorder history and gut symptoms Why you should avoid putting all of your eggs in the eating basket When restrictive eating crosses over into food fears Taking out the symptom foods without falling into disordered eating Avoiding messages that focus on weight loss and food fears Successfully reintroducing foods through the FODMAP diet Different routes that end with restrictive eating habits Using elimination diets responsibly How confusion is spread by Whole30 The gray area when it comes to respecting your body Thoughts on squatty potties and possible benefits Why so little money goes towards IBS research Links to Resources: Kate Twitter Kate Instagram To learn about the #IBelieveinyourStory Campaign, click here.

Over the last 5 years, the low FODMAP approach has become the gut healing diet du jour, with everyone from naturopaths to conventional MD’s prescribing it for IBS relief. On today’s episode we get into the nitty gritty of what eliminating fermentable carbs from your life actually looks like, the healing potential for your SIBO, and how this diet can effect your long-term gut health for better or for worse. If Allison Siebecker, our guest on episode 1, is the queen of SIBO, Kate Scarlata is definitely the queen of FODMAP’s. She’s been writing out this dietary approach for IBS and creating tons of research on her site since long before people like myself were aware of it. She is also the author of several books, her latest of which is called The Low FODMAP Diet Step by Step. A quick taste of what we’ll cover: What the FODMAP acronym stands for Fructose malabsorption and why it effects people with SIBO more than others How to navigate the complicated ingredient lists for low FODMAP quantities Kate’s tips for keeping the flavor in your meals without garlic and onion Her strategies for reintroducing these ingredients back into your diet without fear What really constitutes a failed test or on-going insensitivity and what other milder symptoms might mean about your SIBO recovery And so much more...

Walk down the supplement aisle of any pharmacy or supermarket and you'll no doubt notice shelves full of probiotics and prebiotics promoting gut health. But what, if any, benefit do these products really provide? Today's show features frequent podcast guest and gut health expert, Kate Scarlata. Kate's previous appearances on both The Poop Episode and The IBS Episode landed her at the top spot for a return episode to discuss pro- and prebiotics, by listener request. In this episode, we discuss: The difference between probiotics and prebiotics Benefits of probiotics and prebiotics Sources of probtioics and prebiotics Which is more important - probiotics or prebiotics Best sources of probiotics and prebiotics Signs that someone may not be tolerating a prebiotic Recommendations/Resources for determining which probiotics may be indicated for certain conditions To close out the show, I'm walking listeners through my most recent experience using the new Apple iOS software -- Screen Time. Found under "Settings" on the iPhone, Screen Time can not only help you monitor your usage but more importantly, allow you to set up limits on app usage and designate periods of time that you want to "force" yourself to be off your phone.

If you have used Screen Time, I'd love to hear your feedback.

Do you know someone who suffers from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)? It’s a condition that’s more common than you might think, and there is a new cookbook designed for people who suffer from this illness. Join us to take a deep and delicious dive into the diet and the cookbook that can make life more bearable for IBS sufferers. Kate Scarlata is a registered dietitian and cookbook author who lives in Boston. She is a NY Times bestselling author and has over 25 years’ experience working in digestive health. She is a world-renowned low-FODMAP diet and gut health expert, and her passion is to advocate for her patients and others who have gut disorders. Part of her advocacy work includes a grassroots campaign she started called, I Believe in Your Story, which has helped raise research funding for IBS and awareness. She has authored The 21-Day Tummy Diet, The 21-Day Tummy Cookbook, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating Well with IBS, and The Low-FODMAP Diet Step by Step. On today’s show, Kate walks us through the symptoms and triggers for IBS, along with dietary solutions. We’re talking IBS and recipes! What you’ll hear in this episode: Kate’s background in the nutrition business for 30 years and a mom of three kids How she grew up the youngest of nine kids and what family dinner was like in a large family IBS affects 1 in 5 Americans and is a motility disorder, in which food doesn’t move through the intestines like it should IBS is some sort of disregulation between the gut and the brain, with gut microbes being big players in the symptoms, which include bellyache, constipation, gas, bloating, and diarrhea The causes are not clear, but there seems to be a genetic component to IBS and some connection to food-borne illness Treatment course usually includes medical tests, psyllium husks (like Metamucil), the low-FODMAP diet, and some probiotics and even antibiotics FODMAP-- a group of commonly malabsorbed carbohydrates that are “fast food” for your gut bacteria Common foods to avoid because they are high in FODMAPs are watermelon, apples, pears, mango, asparagus, artichokes, wheat, onion, and cabbage Following the low-FODMAP diet is a temporary situation and is a plan to substitute low-FODMAP foods for the higher ones Pre-biotic foods are allowed on the diet, like oats and many fruits and vegetables The plan is to stay on the diet for 2-4 weeks and then add some foods back in systematically to identify the biggest triggers Kate felt helpless working with her IBS patients and then had a severe intestinal problem while pregnant with her second child. She had 6 ft. of her small intestine removed, became intolerable of certain foods, and found the low-FODMAP diet to be helpful For her personally, her FODMAP sensitivity is quantity-related, so she avoids large amounts of certain trigger foods, like onions Kate shares success stories, the role of exercise and yoga in IBS, and how sugar affects IBS The cookbook has 130 recipes (I recently tried Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry and loved it!) Kate’s favorites include Peanut Noodles, Cheesy Grits, and Chocolate Walnut Brownies Most GI conditions are on the rise in the US and there is more awareness of probiotics and the gut biome Why it’s important to talk about these issues Common foods linked to IBS: emulsifiers, ultra-processed foods,and polyunsaturated fats How Omega-3 fatty acids are protective and fruits and vegetables can lower the IBS risk Kate recommends eating mostly whole foods, less packaged foods, and minimal emulsifiers Resources: We're giving away a copy of The Low-FODMAP Diet, Step by Step by Kate Scarlata, RDN and Dede Wilson.

Have you ever been affected by something so bad you were willing to give up 25% of the remainder of your life IF you could be cured or find relief? That's exactly how many people living with IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome - feel. Today's show is about their story. In this episode I interview Kate Scarlata, MS, RDN -- a former guest of the show and creator of the #IBelieveinyourStory campaign. In this episode we discuss: What is IBS? How prevalent is the condition? The inadequate amount of funding currently allocated for IBS research Resources available to support IBS patients To close out the show, I'm addressing a topic I increasingly find to be of interest to moms with school-age children -- social skills. As I prep for an entire episode dedicated to this topic, I'm sharing the first insights I've gained from an article shared with me by my friend Deanna entitled "How Can I Help My Kids Develop Better Social Skills." As kids spend more time engaging with screens and less time playing with friends navigating social norms can be a challenge. This piece offers some insight into some basic principles we as parents can follow. If you are living with IBS, I'd love to hear from you and so would Kate. Connect online and tell your story using the #IBelieveinyourStory hashtag. Or Find Me On Instagram, Tweet Me @ReganJonesRD, leave me a voicemail, join the This Unmillennial Life Facebook Group .

My guest today is a lovely lady whom I warmly refer to as The Fairy Godmother of Low FODMAPs.

I’ve received so many podcast question submissions about the increasingly trendy low FODMAP diet and I wanted to bring on the best of the best to give us the lowdown. Well, Kate is the best of the best and not just because I say so, or because Boston Magazine awarded her the best dietitian award in 2016 but also because she literally just co-authored the low fodmap roadmap called The Low Fodmap Diet Step by Step!
