Living with IBS-D can feel overwhelming—constant diarrhea, fear of eating out, and frustration with treatments that don’t work. But real relief is possible.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Michelle, a past client who struggled with post-COVID IBS-D, unpredictable symptoms, and doctors who only offered temporary fixes. She shares how she finally:
✔️ Identified her true food trigger
✔️ Stopped unnecessary supplements that worsened her symptoms
✔️ Rebuilt her gut health and stopped living in fear of food
✔️ Regained control of her symptoms and can now travel without stress
If you’ve been struggling with IBS-D and feel stuck, this episode is for you. Michelle’s journey proves that a strategic, personalized approach is the key to lasting relief.
