Why do some people suffer with gut problems and others do not? There seems to be an increase in bloating, loose bowels, IBS, intolerances and it is interesting to find out why.

You don't need to miss foods due to food shortages if you shop wisely. There has been an upsurge of fasting and ketosis based diets. This is an extreme eating regimen which requires a huge amount of committment.
Is it safe though ? Ketosis could cause long damage to the skeletan, mental health, liver and cholesterol. Click on the button below to read my article on Ketosis to find out more. BENEFITS OF B2
Fish Meats Eggs Asparagus Artichokes Avocados Cayenne Currants Kelp Lima Beans Peas Molasses Mushrooms Nuts Parsley Pumpkins Are just some of the foods that this Vitamin can be found. A varied diet can ensure that the B complex of vitamins is covered in your diet. It has become more and more popular to avoid meat/animal products, but some people are cutting it out without researching sufficiently to protect their health. It may seem healthy, but it could be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Here are some facts you may not know: 1. The variety of vegetarians has grown, particularly over the last 20 years:
2. What are the benefits?
3. Risk of osteoporosis and calcium deficiency Diets low in dairy can lead to low calcium levels as well as other bone building minerals. If individuals do not research and replace this food group they could develop osteopenia or osteoporosis leading to an increased risk of fractures. Menopause, eating disorders and use of some medications such as steroids can weaken bone health, so being mindful of a bone healthy diet is essential. 4. Iron deficiency There is a risk of anaemia if meat is excluded and poor vegetarian nutrition is eaten. Grains and dark green vegetables can supplement iron and vitamin C, so vegetarians need to be prepared to eat fresh and whole foods. Fussy eaters may struggle! ‘Animal’ sourced iron is more easily absorbed than plant sourced iron, so plenty of vegetables are essential. 5. Fatty acids Fish and eggs provide a wonderful source of omega 3, which is important for mental health, hormone levels, cardiovascular health and visual health. Many vegetarians find it difficult to replace eggs and fish, or simply do not realise they need too. There are health supplements, plus nuts, seeds, various algaes, and whole grains to help boost levels in vegetarian diets. Supplementation may be required to increase the concentration of plant-based fatty acids. DHA needs to be converted to EPA so a balanced supplement is essential. Again fussy eaters can struggle if they are not prepared to introduce nuts, seeds, avocado and whole grains into their diets. 6. Vitamin B12 B12 deficiency can lead to severe symptoms which can be mis-interpreted as they are like so many other disorders. Symptoms can present as loose bowels, itchy skin, extreme fatigue, brain fog, macrocytic anaemia and mental health issues. Obtaining a B12 blood test is a route to ascertain if this deficiency exists. For vegetarian children, their growth can be inhibited through B12 deficiency, so it is vital that parents are well versed in where this essential vitamin can be sourced. Generally, vegans are low in B12 whereas lacto ovo vegetarians are higher. Conclusion If you choose to move to a vegetarian eating lifestyle ensure you are confident in the choices you need to make. Consult a nutritionist to gain education and guidance in order to avoid the pitfalls and make the most of this healthy eating choice. Avoid repetitive eating and free from brands as a varied and fresh diet will provide better nutrition. #Bloating #intolerance #testing #Nutrition #Nutritionist #Dietician #Faversham #Canterbury #Whitstable #Kent #USA #florida #allergy #kent #dover #cbd#cbt #stress #poor# digestion #IBS #diarrhoea # acid #reflux #heartburn #and #diet #lovefood #healthy #jowickx #heart #health #diabetes #die t#usa #florida #healthy #eating #covid19 #virus #recovery #programme#me#ms #chronic #fatigue # tiredness #cantshake #stilltired #virusaftermath #help #dartford #sittingbourne #london#medway #chatham #hastings #USA #florida #virtua l# appointment #long #covid#19#safe #distance#clinics #weight#loss#ibs#IBS#irritable#bowel#menopause# blood #testing #B12 #Thyroid #function #well #woman # vitamin #profile #anaemia #glucose # #nutrition #nutritionist #dietician #IBS #Bloating #bowel #loose #crohns #coeliac #recipes #dietary #advice #FODMAP #fructose #intolerance #allergy #testing #faversham #kent #canterbury #whitstable #histamine #B12 #blood #testing #london #phlebotomy #weight #loss #flab #diabetes #eczema #vitamins #immune #food #healthyeating #diarrhoea #gas #rash #psoriasis #depression #ME #CFS #menopause #womens #health #HRT #thyroid #TSH #T3 #T4 #iron #deficiency #anaemia #vitamin #profile #injections #
BLOATED? What could be to blame? I see lots of patients complaining of stomach-ache, bloating, feeling tired, and some have bowel problems ranging from constipation to severe diarrhoea. If we look at our heritage, our food's evolution has raced ahead of our own development, and this has affected our ability to digest our food. Also, wider imports of tropical fruit and vegetables from far flung continents means we are at times eating foods outside our own culture all year round, so our fructose intake can rise exponentially. Some diet regimens recommend eating larger volumes of fruit, leading to an increase in fructose and the above symptoms. A trend for juicing and smoothies has also affected individuals trying to lead a healthier food lifestyle but triggering a host of symptoms because of the trends requirement for increased fructose. Vegans and vegetarians will come to me complaining of bloating, and the large quantity of fruits they are eating can be the cause. Also, some gym and lifestyle choices lead to juicing and smoothies as a quick go too food, but again this can lead to incredible discomfort. An example of this is mango, a wonderful juicy fruit which can be used raw or cooked, and also dried. It has gradually become more and more widely used and is seen on many menus now. The problem is it is high in fructose, and some individuals have difficulty digesting this type of sugar. We are naturally designed to better digest glucose. Our bodies do not have the dedicated means of absorption for fructose that glucose has, so this digestive difficulty means some fructose remains undigested in the large intestine, causing bacterial fermentation. This fermentation leads to the production of gas (hydrogen, CO2 and methane as well as short chain fatty acids), bloating and for some people diarrhoea. Osmotic diarrhoea can occur also due to the increased colonic sugar load. Professor Whorwell from the University of Manchester says 'our bodies are not terribly good at digesting fructose, especially in the quantities we eat these days, with year-round access as well'. Fructose malabsorption can go hand in hand with IBS, Crohn's disease and IBD (inflammatory Bowel Disease), and 'approximately 1/3rd of IBS sufferers will have fructose intolerance' (quoted Julie Thompson, Specialist Gastroenterology Dietician.) Fructose connected to depression and low mood Fructose malabsorption can also be linked too depression or low mood, as fructose has been associated with blocking the production of serotonin! It's interesting to note that children's behaviour has been affected by fructose intake. Fructose is used to sweeten many foods, and marketing and manufacture has made these very appealing and available to children, and behaviour changes have matched this increase. Some fruit and vegetables are better tolerated than others, so random exclusion is not a good idea. Exclusion should be properly managed to prevent further mal-absorption and mal-nutrition. Glucose has been known to counteract the effects of fructose; however it must not be used as a preventative as glucose will have an effect on the metabolism and therefore could lead to the development of other disorders. The FODMAP regimen has become a popular route to attempt to resolve fructose malabsorption symptoms. This diet must be managed by a health professional and should only be followed for a period of up to 8 weeks. It involves limited eating, through the exclusion of foods high in fructose, so long-term use could lead to malnutrition. Here is a small sample of foods which are high in Fructose: Apple Pear Red Pepper Date Fig Raisin Apple Jam Honey Orange Marmalade Berry Jams Tinned Cranberries but not fresh Sweeteners Certain sweeteners can increase or decrease fructose intolerance and where these are often added to many foods, it is worth double-checking packages. Not known to have an effect: Stevia Aspartame Acesulfame K Cyclamate Sorbitol – Fructose intolerance increases Glucose – Fructose intolerance decreases. Dextrose – Fructose intolerance decreases Credit to the Clairmont Digestive Clinic for the information below.
