‘Food Facts’ is an online monthly series of webinars presented by experienced Dietitians from the Mind Body Well team - all from a non-diet, no-judgement, no-bullshit perspective.
Sessions will focus on nutrition information relevant to various health concerns, and are suitable for anyone who wants to learn about nutrition in a context which is free from weight-loss dieting advice.
Session 2 - Nutrition for IBS and Gut Health
Feeling bloated? Worried about excessive wind? Often find yourself running to the toilet or not going for days at a time? These symptoms are not uncommon, as many as one in five Australians experience irritable bowel symptoms at some stage in their life. This webinar will help you better understand gut symptoms, and will discuss some potentially helpful management strategies.
This session will explore:
common causes of unpleasant gut symptoms
who to see to investigate problematic gut symptoms, and when to get tested for digestive disorders
an introduction to the role of diet in managing gut symptoms, including what to try first and where to find further support
Session structure: The webinar will be conducted live on Zoom, with a presentation from the facilitator followed by a live Q&A. You can choose to either participate anonymously with your camera off (writing your questions in the chat box), or with your camera on (asking your questions directly to the facilitator). The choice will be yours.
Prior registration is essential - numbers will be limited.
Cost: $30 (includes live attendance via Zoom - sessions will not be recorded)
Cancellation policy: Full payment is required to register, and the fee is non-refundable
