Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects a large portion of the population. Its symptoms —abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation—can significantly impact quality of life. Fortunately, registered dietitians with expertise in digestive disorders at TeamNutrition play a key role in managing IBS.
👉 Here's why seeing a dietitian for IBS can make a world of difference, how to choose the right professional, and our top IBS dietitians on the team.
1. Why See a Dietitian for IBS?
A dietitian specialized in IBS can help you:
- Identify behaviors or foods that trigger your symptoms.
- Integrate new eating habits tailored to your lifestyle.
- Plan meals and snacks that soothe your digestive system.
- Apply the FODMAP approach, if needed, which is known to alleviate symptoms.
- Receive ongoing, reassuring, and personalized support.
2. How to Choose the Right Dietitian for IBS?
While all dietitians can help improve your diet, individuals with IBS benefit more from targeted support.
An excellent IBS dietitian:
- Has training or clinical experience in digestive disorders
- Understands the physical and emotional impacts of IBS
- Can provide clear, practical, and progressive recommendations
- Collaborates with other health professionals (e.g., doctors, psychologists, gastroenterologists)
