Does your heart race, breathing become shallow, or body tense up during an ?

Your nervous system may be contributing to the intensity of your symptoms.

GI psychologist Dr. Megan Riehl explains that the sympathetic nervous system can sometimes interpret a situation as threatening—even when there is no immediate danger.

That fight-or-flight response can increase muscle tension, alter breathing, raise hormones, and potentially make uncomfortable digestive symptoms feel even worse.

The good news is that understanding this response gives you an opportunity to interrupt the cycle and activate your body’s parasympathetic—or “rest and digest”—response.

Bloating is one of the most common complaints I hear from my clients 😣⁠

Persistent not only causes extreme discomfort but ALSO impacts our self-confidence, body image, & relationship with food 💔⁠

🎈 The most common type of IBS bloating is BACKUP-BLOAT.⁠

You may wake up feeling okay, but as the day goes on get more and more . You may look 6 months pregnant at the end of the day 🙆🏼‍♀️⁠

💩 This type of bloating occurs when a person is . You may have a daily 💩 but if it’s not a full evacuation, you are likely still FOS (Full of Stool) and that is making you BLOATED.⁠

🎈 There are many reasons why a person is bloated.⁠

Here’s how to document your bloating for your doctor or dietitian to identify the cause:⁠

🎈 Is it above belly button or below?⁠
🎈 Do you wake up bloated?⁠
🎈 Do you bloat right after eating?⁠
🎈 How long does bloating last?⁠
🎈 How does bloating correlate to your 💩?⁠
🎈 Does a specific food trigger bloating?⁠

Remember: there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. You need to investigate the cause to find long-term relief.⁠

💡 The key to relief? Figuring out what’s really going on in your gut. So you can PREVENT bloat from happening.⁠

Is food REALLY your ? Or is it something else? 🤔⁠

Many people think is all about food, but for some, stress, anxiety, and lifestyle factors play an even bigger role. That was the case for Lindsey.⁠

👉 Watch my free IBS webinar and learn how to finally get relief - IBSdietitian.com/masterclass

Lindsey’s Story: From Fear to Freedom⁠

Lindsey was stuck in survival mode—afraid to eat, weak from living off boiled chicken, Jell-O, and saltines, and constantly anxious about her symptoms.⁠

💬 “I was starving myself, convinced I had something way worse. I was scared to leave my house—even to drop my kids off at school or go grocery shopping.”⁠

She tried to manage IBS on her own but was trapped in a cycle of fear, restriction, and confusion.⁠

🔹 What we discovered? It wasn’t just food. Her biggest triggers were stress, anxiety, and gut-brain imbalances—things she never even considered before.⁠

✨ Once she learned how to support her gut the right way, everything changed.⁠

✅ Her symptoms improved by 75-90%⁠
✅ She eats confidently again⁠
✅ She’s no longer afraid to travel or enjoy life⁠

“After 12 weeks of working with her and meeting with others every week in the program it helped me to feel that I am NOT alone in this journey and that there truly is hope. I’m not afraid to leave my house anymore (I used to be afraid of leaving my house to drop my kids off at school or go grocery shopping, it was that bad) and I’m very excited to go on vacations again.”

💬 “This has been the best investment I’ve made in myself. I wish I had joined sooner.”⁠

If IBS is running your life, you don’t have to suffer in fear. You just need the right tools to take back control.⁠

‘You are what you eat’ → OR you are what you eat, how you move, how much water you drink, how stressed you are… the list goes on, amirite?⁠

Truth is: MANY things may affect your .⁠

For my husband and me, sleep and stress affected our symptoms even MORE than the food we were eating.⁠

Once we identified our triggers — both food AND lifestyle-related — we were finally able to find freedom and relief 🙏⁠

This is true for my clients, too. Finding relief from is NOT just about what you eat (or don’t eat). It’s also about your lifestyle, your , and much more.⁠

Here’s what Karin shared about her experience 💭❤️⁠

“I have been suffering from IBS symptoms for 2 years… I had severe flareups, my stomach was bloated like I was 3 months pregnant. I had severe and abdominal pains.⁠

I tried going to a gastro, dietitian and a naturopath who told me to cut out FODMAP, gluten, and dairy. After working with Jessie, I realized the only one who can really help is an IBS !!⁠

Jessie has truly changed my life. I learned that IBS isn’t just about what we eat — it’s also sleep, stress, exercise, hydration, fiber, and how we eat. I now understand my body better, and I can eat foods I was once afraid of.⁠

The day I followed Jessie on Instagram and joined the program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my IBS.” – Karin⁠

We helped Karin reclaim her life — and with the right approach, you can too.⁠

Are you adding FERMENTED foods to your diet? 🥬 Did you know they can help with BLOAT? 🎈⁠

Here are some fermented foods you can try this week:⁠

⭕️ Kimchi 1/3 cup ⁠
⭕️ Sauerkraut 2 Tbsp ⁠
⭕️ Red Sauerkraut ⅓ cup⁠
⭕️ Yogurt (lactose free)⁠
⭕️ Tempeh (plain)⁠ 1 cup ⁠
⭕️ Miso Paste 1 Tbsp (12g)⁠
⭕️ Unflavored Kombucha ¾ or personal tolerance⁠

💡The interesting thing about fermentation is, some foods become lower in FODMAP after fermentation while others become higher in after fermentation.⁠

🥬 Cabbage is low FODMAP at 3/4 cup before fermentation. After fermentation, sauerkraut is only low FODMAP at 1 tablespoon. ⁠

🥛 However, in the case of yogurt, fermentation actually *makes it* low FODMAP. That’s because lactose (FODMAP) is broken down in the fermentation process.⁠

Now if you've been tolerating these okay, don't cut them out. The goal is to help you incorporate a small amount of them in your diet. If you tolerate the low FODMAP amount, you can try to increase it slowly.⁠

What's your favorite fermented food? Comment below.⁠

P.S. Grab our FODMAP Starter Guide with our grocery list so you can shop confidently for food that won’t leave you bloated.⁠

STRESSING about your IBS is making your worse 😣⁠ Have you tried stimulating your vagus nerve?⁠

🧠 Be sure to save this post to come back to.⁠

What is the Vagus Nerve? ⁠

This system controls specific body functions such as your , heart rate & immune system. These functions are involuntary, meaning you can't consciously control them.⁠

♥️ GUT-BRAIN CONNECTION is extremely important when trying to heal our gut. Stimulating our vagus nerve prepares our body & gut for relaxation and digestion.⁠

🌟 Watch my free IBS-relief masterclass - IBSdietitian.com/masterclass

Here are 5 ways to start stimulating your vagus nerve today:⁠

🧘🏻‍♀️ Deep breathing. It's one of the respiratory vagal activation techniques that are extremely effective⁠

🛁 Take a cold shower, get some solo quiet time.⁠

🧘🏻‍♀️ Meditate to calm & ease your mind.⁠

👄 Respiratory vagal activation techniques such as singing, humming, & gargling activate your vagus nerve.⁠

🎶Singing. This will help you relax & lift up your mood too⁠.⁠

🤣Laughing. Not only will you literally laugh the pain away but you'll also be able to take your mind off all your IBS troubles.⁠

Here’s what a client, Alma, said about the IBS Freedom Group Program 💭❤️⁠

“The past two years I have struggled to understand why I was having so many tummy issues. ⁠

Doctors always told me it was just IBS and trapped gas but not much guidance was provided.⁠

Jessie helped me find the cause of my flare-ups… & helped me reach my goal this year of getting my health back on track. ⁠

I feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. ⁠

I feel less stress, I gained confidence, knowledge & most of all I regained my love for food! Working with Jessie has been the best thing I could have ever done for myself, I am so very grateful for her!” -Alma⁠

IBS is not just in your head & the impact of IBS can range from mild inconvenience to severe debilitation.⁠

But there is a path to finding relief & freedom (even if you’ve tried everything already) 🙏⁠
