Struggling with IBS symptoms, chronic diarrhea, but getting nowhere fast? In this episode of the IBS Nutrition Podcast, Dr. Laura shares her incredible journey from five years of daily gut distress to total relief—in just four months—after joining the IBS Freedom Program.
Despite being a medical professional, Laura spent nearly 5 years trying to navigate IBS with diarrhea, digestive flare-ups, and endless food fear on her own. She worked with her GI, tried different diets, and kept searching for answers—until finally, with expert support, everything changed. Within 4 months, she had a SIBO diagnosis, pinpointed her IBS triggers, and broke free from the cycle of flare-ups, food anxiety, and bathroom mapping.
Now? She’s back to doing what she loves—traveling, cycling, hiking—and living life without digestive symptoms holding her back.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✔ Why long-term diarrhea is more than just an inconvenience
✔ How SIBO was finally diagnosed and treated after 5 years of being missed
✔ What made the low FODMAP diet feel doable and not restrictive
✔ The role of community and expert support in lasting IBS relief
✔ How she reintroduced foods with confidence—and handled known triggers
✔ The difference between guessing alone vs. guided gut health support
