Your digestive system is responsible for transporting the right nutrition (fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals) to the right locations to make sure all the complicated processes and organs are properly functioning.
If your body lacks nutrition certain complaints might occur such as:
- Digestive related problems
- Heartburn
- Irregular bowel movements
- Intestinal complaints
Eating healthy? Cannot see the wood for the trees?
Often your doctor`s advice is to eat healthily and regularly. What this means is also unclear to your doctor because the doctor is not a nutritionist. Then a long search starts with the expert help of a dietitian. Often in the search for healthy food, you are encountering a lot of contradictions, opinions and advisement. You cannot see the wood for the trees.

Why the FODMaP diet is not working
A lot of people who have IBS are advised to try the FODMaP diet. A common result is that you will notice that especially garlic, leeks and onions are having a strong effect on your intestines. These vegetables are not the problem. Garlic, leeks and onions contain a lot of anti-pathogen substances. The sulphur in these vegetables causes a bad reaction due to a large amount of ’bad’ bacteria. Those are the bad guys. At IBD Free Life you will learn exactly how these substances and processes work in your body. We will determine not only the cause of your reaction to a certain food but we will also explain to you why this is. That way you are able to do something about it. You can balance the intestinal bacteria in your body and soon you are able to enjoy your stew with garlic and onion without any problems.
